Future Timelines

Team RAW Baby! WE BEEN YOLO!

I see some of that stuff as speculation. But the Chernobyl one is real crazy. We will have "superpowers" and an HIV Vaccine before the site is fully safe? Wonder how long it is going to take for Fukushima.

Wasn't people saying we'd have flying cars by the year 2000 in the 70s?
Sometimes humanity gets to feeling itself a bit too hard.

this man knows.

we've been predicting things for as long as we've been around. the great thing about it is that nobody remembers the majority of the predictions that fell flat on their face, they just remember the ones that came true.

the HIV vaccine and white minority is most likely for the timeline IMO.

take a look at some of these http://www.manolith.com/2009/07/30/pending-future-technologies/

Coffee could be gone by 2080, as extinct, but could care less.

2013: you will realize its "couldn't care less"



and yo, Europe is pretty much atheist or non-religious already, they just view it as their heritage but they barely go to church, especially in northern Europe.

maybe he's talking about the coffee caring...

If you guys are interested in this sort of stuff, check our Ray Kurzweil. He's been predicting the future for a bit, and most of his assertions are spot on.

Damn why couldn't I be born 500 years later or be like this guy.

That's pretty interesting and kinda scary.  When does Skynet happen?

And there's flying cars already but we can't use them cuz we'd just crash into each other and die.

Longevity treatments that can halt aging

By the middle of this decade, treatments are becoming available to the general public which can effectively halt the aging process altogether. This landmark in the field of gerontology was actually achieved some two decades earlier in the laboratory but faced extensive testing, clinical trials, government legislation and lobbying by pharmaceuticals. This delayed its introduction considerably.

Rather than being a single process, aging was found to be caused by seven key types of damage.*

1. Junk - inside cells
2. Junk - outside cells
3. Cells - too few being produced
4. Cells - too many being produced
5. Mutations - chromosomes
6. Mutations - mitochondria
7. Protein crosslinks

Various combinations of drugs were developed in order to combat these types of damage. In 2010, it was possible to slow aging by only two months per year. Over the subsequent decades, however, the "actuarial escape velocity" of twelve months per year was eventually reached. Exponential progress was made thanks to the growth of information technology in medicine, combined with advances in nanotechnology which led to ever smaller and more sophisticated procedures.

Debates rage over the morality of this treatment and its consequences for the world's population (especially from conservatives and religious institutions), but there is generally strong support from the public. It is expensive initially and regarded as a luxury - in the same way that plastic surgery and other cosmetic procedures were viewed in earlier decades. For now, only celebrities and the rich can take advantage of it.

However, the massive amount of public interest leads to intense competition between pharmaceutical firms, eventually driving down costs. Further refinement makes it possible not only to halt the aging process, but to actually reverse it. Later this century, even people over 100 begin to appear physically indistinguishable from those in their 30s.

This will finally put an end to "YOLO"

My reaction to the last one:

"22,000 AD you say?"

"Chernobyl Disaster site becomes completely safe"

 

[omgitswes]

It's crazy that it'll take that long for it to become safe.
We just need to stay around for 53 more years
