Should we feel pissed in 1000 years time the problems we have today, will seem primitive.

[Jumper Geo]

Well I hope they will, can you imagine the future and how medical science would have evolved in 1000 years time, would there be a need for a site like SS as members problems wouldn't be an issue, hopefully they would have found a cure by then but it also open the discussion of creating that super human through gene manipulation removing all the bad DNA cells.

Well what do you think the future holds ?

I was just thinking about this the other day when I was down about how ugly I was. I was wondering if in a few hundred years or the next millennium they'll have full face and body transplants so if you hate the way you look you can just go shopping for a new face

On the other hand the human race could wipe itself out by the next millennium. I think this is probably more likely than any serious advancements like I mentioned.

Ah, this makes me think of Gattaca, still one of my favorite movies to date. I'm not pissed at all though I will say that wanting to know what we'll be like in a thousand years makes me want reincarnate lol. The possibilities are endless. I mean, even in a couple hundred years there could be massive changes. I'm so unsure. If Octavia Butler's idea about humans being flawed because they are genetically intelligent but also hierarchical is true, then we still have issues. Hm... I don't know, it's exciting to think about. What issues would we have if most of our physical and mental issues are a thing of the past? Things have changed a great deal from the 11th century but the past is not the best indicator of technological and medical advancements. Glasses have been around since the 13th century and are still a thing. Hm...

I think that could actually be very likely, especially with how prevalent plastic surgery has become. Would it be something possible through global healthcare or would we still be worrying about the costs? I really don't know about the human race wiping itself out though? Unless in the next few millennia, genetic engineering truly becomes commonplace and most people are identically similar enough that some super virus wipes out everyone because of the lack of genetic diversity? I don't know... Humanity has survived so many plagues and disasters and the current population should provide enough of a buffer for any mass extinction? Hm...

 

[Jumper Geo]

Yes but we are evolving, even though it's slow which I'm not happy about, but now we have laxer eye surgery but in a thousands years time they will just change the eye ball, lol blind people will see hopefully we move away from personal wealth and act as a greater nation to learn, we would evolve much quicker.

AS for reincarnation they all keep saying that but it is rebirth as you are a different person.



Cheers Geo

 

[WinterFaust]

Oh, absolutely. Lasik is currently a thing, there are trials being run to regrow lost auditory nerves (that can't regenerate on their own) and a whole host of other advancements that could be common place in the next 100 years or so. It's really exciting to think about.

That's very interesting! I'm like 98% sure there's nothing after this but if we really forget and have a rebirth, I guess we'll never know. We could be in a simulation of the past as well, haha.

I see the same thing then as i do know, if this not an ash grey world by that time. Humans fucking with shit they don't really understand. Mutating this and that, splicing this with that etc etc. Ohhh lets screw around with this and see what happens. The elder forest of the world still being cut down, if there are any left, and releasing possible unknown things into the world. The ice caps and permafrost melting releasing more unknown shit into the environment.
But i am an optimist

EDIT: Fuck i'm not sorry

 

[PrettyMoose]

I feel like you are being incredibly optimistic. I think humanity will be extinct well before the next 1,000 years.

Yes I see your point will there be an Amazon rain forest which is the lungs of the World and with the ice caps melting there are so many unknown viruses just waiting to be released which could wipe out humanity and the insect and animal population I put a link below it's amazing just the extinction of an insect the bee would cause chaos, people would starve the World would be in recession and panic buying would be the same or worse than the Covid-19. I think there will be a chosen few who live on a different planet by then but I also think there maybe a 3rd World war in the future as the World is already over populated and food sources are working at maximum to feed us and the oil won't last forever.

What would happen if bees went extinct?

It would mean a lot more than fewer stings and breakfast options. Maddie Moate reveals just how much we depend on bees, and how close we are to losing them.

It could be different though they may have come up with way's to solve all these problems in the future but from my point of view it does look grim we will lose a lot of beautiful islands.

I've been bothering kpop idol farms with the question of whether or not they can rebuild my mouth.
Not now, of course, I went on this quest before covid showed up.
S.Korea is a crazy place!
I don't remember the exact prices, but they will literally rip you apart and rebuild you if you pay them enough.
I'll need to dig through my really old history. One place has effin' PACKS!
Hotel+food+surgeries+healing time+entertainment=20k$, or something like that!
Crazy people!

I wish you were wrong. Everything has it's time and everything dies. Every species becomes extinct eventually. Has to happen on someone's watch. The geological timescale and the population/extinction numbers are plain.

I spent much of my career as an archaeologist studying the rise of humanity via it's material culture. I call our current predicament the Toolmaker Paradox.
I've only ever seen this expressed similarly in one other place, oddly, a work of science fiction, where it's called the Toolmaker Koan, by John McLoughlin.

The book itself isn't great but the message is clear...
When a species reaches the tool-making stage, extinction is not far behind. The rate of social evolution is quickly overwhelmed by the speed of technological innovation. Disease is part of this process.

There is hope though, but it's a long shot, which is probably why we don't keep getting buzzed by aliens all the time.

The trouble is they have found these habitual planets similar to Earth but it take 120 years by light speed to reach them, lol so we will never reach them well not in my lifetime anyway.

Anything other than Mars is prohibitive due to the obscene distances involved. Think tens of thousands of years to get there. That's a long time to leave the lights on with no guarantee there's anything viable at the other end.

Can anyone say stasis chamber?

Six times fast? I can say it bit I'd have no idea how to build one or power it for ten thousand years.

They have experimented with a stasis chamber but you will be lucky to last a month in one let alone 120 years, lol mind you I did say not in my lifetime so who knows what the future will hold.

Try 12 times fast, while you are standing on your head I have know idea either.. but that's not gonna be my problem. I leave that for the next generation to worry about.
