Human extinction. Thankfully, climate change exists, and will very likely be the end of us if we don’t blow ourselves up sooner.
Okay, you first /s
Human’s have done some impressive things. We’re unravelling the mysteries of the universe and building some amazing tech. Yes, a powerful few of us have done some horrific things, to ourselves and to the creatures we share our home with, but I don’t think it was all for nothing if that’s what you’re getting at.
Ending world hunger and finding a cure for cancer and other currently uncurable diseases.
the ability to scan one’s brain to unlock all the memories that i hope are still stored in there, uses would be things like knowing exactly how many times you’ve sneezed, how many sandwinches you’ve eaten, how many total minutes spent hiccuping, and you take the information and compare your stats with friends
Or hide the parts we want to forget and breathe normally for a few days.
That would be horrible. Law entforcement would have a field day (not with the fart statistics tho). Our brain is the last frontier of privacy.
Here’s the thing. You are all trillion of your features, but you are mostly an informative subset of maybe a million. You drop a verse of shakespeare from your memory and you’d essentially be the same person.
Your memories don’t encode every single thing that has happened to you, they encode blurry snapshots of fast-decaying events and flatten them over time depending on importance, filling in the blanks with other parts of your mind (made with other blurry decaying events).
If you thought AI was bad at hallucinating events, be glad you cannot ask your brain direct questions
If we could harness fusion power in the near future that would be neat.
I’m here to make a flippant sarcastic comment about us already having fusion, and that all we need is enough solar panels to capture it. I thank you for your time, and yes I will go eff myself.
Thank you for acknowledging that comment is inappropriate for a hope thread, regardless of how correct it may be.
I’m just tired of seeing it when people say “we need fusion!” “OH RLY? HAVE YOU LOOKED UP LATELY”
It’s stale and adds nothing

Yeah, so when the world finally burn, the fire would spread faster 🤞😁
Star Trek, minus the teleporters.
If anyone ever invents a synthesizer somehow capitalism will fina way to ruin it. It would be lovely to live in a post scarcity society though
Maybe just teleporters that don’t work with living tissue.
The deaths of certain people.
I hope to see my own financial stability in the future. I hope things change for the better and there are lots and lots of job openings for people, no more recessions.
Quantum computing becoming practical for ordinary people.
well IBM does have cloud accessible quantum computers that they don’t charge to use
I used those to teach myself some stuff about quantum information science
Industrial use of oil and coal goes poof
Elon Musk has an interview and just…explodes.
Universal basic income. Everywhere.
