I'm not sure what you mean.

Earth is certainly destroyed at least past Humanities capacity. More than likely as a result of our own actions. Some life may remain although doubtful. See; Venus.

Humanity has either colonized other Worlds or are themselves extinct. If the Singularity has happened we are most likely man-machine hybrid or fully Trans-Human. We have colonized other celestial bodies with probes, machines and A.I. World's we have colonized ourselves are either well on their way to carrying capacity and the same fate as Earth or we have learned from our primitive behaviors as domesticated primates and now live in a sustainable utopia.

Contact or detection of extraterrestrial life forms are a distant possibility depending how rare life in the Cosmos is. Possibly made easier with 1million+ years of technology and with a bit of luck we are no longer hostile to others.

Reality would more than likely be even wilder than this because it's simply beyond our comprehension with any certainty considering timescales.

What if we have our singularity



and some civilation in a far off galaxy also has their singularity


Thus we have two computer driven super civilizations competing for the universes resources

Immortality!

Fuck being a robot.

My plan is to get rich enough and live long enough to afford whatever is the closest thing to becoming a robot when I am an old fuck

>>30885
That's why you gotta go for the solar powered model or the one with the built in reactor! You get what you pay for brobot!

You consume millions of joules a day. Your body has tens of millions of joules worth of fat on it.

Most of the energy you consume goes to continue your cellular metabolism. In fact, unless you're doing something like running marathons or cross-country skiing, physical movement is very energy cheap.

A robot wouldn't need to fuel all those cells. It could devote all it's battery life to actually doing things. It will also probably be made of carbon nanotube muscles, which have much greater energy efficiency then biological muscle.

Finally, humans can starve to death too. Robot bodies will be able to walk farther, for longer then humans.

>donating to charity will make me more happy than a speedboat

I dontated to charity once, never again. I am a product of the society i was brought up in and i am going to buy a fucking speedboat if i want one

>>30825
Taking everything so literal... he meant that possessions for the most part are just a void that we feel to increase our happiness when in actuality charity (from working in a soup kitchen to even opening a door for someone) provides a sense of accomplishment and fulfillment.
Nothing would stop you from your boat, but this society is stopping you from realizing that things don't make us, we make them.

Rise above bro, and smoke weed everyday.

>>30820
oh you.

There is nothing stopping us from achieving this kind of future, only the will of us all can make it.

We have to start thinking of investing in grand scales to improve the world, not for one's self or for a country but for the global organism that is the Earth.
Hydroelectric plants, tidal powered generators, using Earth and the resources available to enrich all of our lives. Once each and every country has free power we can create an open network which any of us access online to order whatever we need and want (within reason).

Let's face it, this system should start with water then organic foods. GE foods could be on there if they meet safety requirements. Then big chains, major companies, and NGO/NPO who wish to provide to this network of free food for all. I envision a system where any Mom&Pop BBQ in some Kentucky backwoods could have there ribs shipped to the out skirts of Siberia, shared between some good friends after one found out about the place on a blog.

Food and water would be the start, then medical supplies, clothing, electronics, goods, then finally, everything (to a degree of course).
Communities can make orders, stores can change role from a profit based system to a providing based one. People walk in and grab what they want, take it and walk out as the items are picked up by the stores computer as going out the front door it adds this into the stores stocks and the management can decide if they wish to order more or switch products.

In the end, we would only be taking what we'd need and want but not based on a sense of greed or status.

No, you'd be a cyborg. If your going to attempt to make a point try to understand what your point is.

>The efficiency of a brain-computer interface, however, would be several thousand times in magnitude greater than writing by hand.

You still haven't responded to my question directly, all you brought up is how people would volunteer brain surgery to have cybernetic implants to replace writing even though we sill have people who write by hand using paper.

I see where your coming from but your making an argument, your just going on about something totally irreverent.

>>30848

>Silly Natural, I will be that dancing android!

Can you be sure that you are still you when you upload your mind?

>>30848

>Imagine if we could send each other texts over a global 3G wi-fi network just by thinking

Um I hope that by the time this happens we still won't be using 3G, imagine how shitty it would be if your brain was lagging

>>30853
I think in order for it to work properly. They will have to have your brain hooked up to a robot body and start turning on senses. So they would turn on the robot hearing and turn yours off, run diagnostics, etc. So the transfer would be gradual enough for you to say with a reasonable about of certainty that "you" are in fact you. If they just turned one on and one off, there would be a rejection of the transfer by the mind which would be killing the person and restarting their mind in a new body with no continuation of consciousness. They would "wake up" and would be the same "person", but not the same "soul". You would be dead.

I don't envy the early adopters. They will probably end up insane, retarded, remorseful, etc. I will be waiting at least 10 years after the tech is introduced at a consumer level before I would do it.

If I could record my dreams it would be the best fapping material ever... Bang anyone you know in your dreams, watch the sextape later.

So what you're saying is, learn to lucid dream and become God?

/tinfoil/ ------->

>>30851
not really because technically youre still in the dream (distractor) world if youre lucid dreaming. i guess never sleep and you control your own destiny but that just makes you your own god i.e. new satanism or something

>>30873

thats really gay and doesnt belong here

^...

>>30873

What I meant by that was if you're lucid in your dream, you would be aware of and could even resist the distractions and influences supposedly imparted onto you by these unspecified "forces".

So by the same token, you could influence your self, plan your next day and instigate your own emotions from within the dream to influence your own destiny the next day. In effect, becoming God.

The turning out of the pockets was an ironic fashion started by the rich who have money as a means of mocking the poor who can turn out their empty pockets and leave them like that because they have nothing to put in them. Kind of like today with the bed head and torn clothes trends. Designer jeans can't even have their pockets the right way, the faux liners are just sewn to the outside of the garment.

Pockets are for the poor, us rich folk have no use for them. We keep our cell phone and wallet in our inner breast pocket. We don't need keys because all of our doors open for us.

>>30265 Hell yeah ive been thinking of doing the exact same

>>30265
awesome idea!

Once my wristwatch merge with my cellphone and my credit card, by 2015, I think I'll start wearing my pockets inside out too.

Damn it you stole my idea.

This is the first time I've encountered the term so a quick read of the Wiki article and the way I'm understanding it is simply the filter our ego places upon the raw data our senses receive. Instead of accepting the World as it is and just being in the "now", our ego jumps in and makes assumptions and judgements based on our previous bias, experiences and World view.

As an example, someone says "I really like that top you're wearing" you could perceive that in many different ways. One could be a genuine complement designed to flatter you or another could be a completely sarcastic and insincere gesture designed to ridicule you. How you receive this comment is up to your ego and how you perceive this person. Whether you have a negative or positive impression of them based on previous bias. However, this perception isn't reality, it's your ego's reality and the other person has their own ego reality.

I'm not really sure how this pertains to the future though. Consensus reality will still be the same for everyone. It's just how peoples ego's perceive said reality will differ which is exactly the same as how it operates now. So maybe you could expand on your rationale in case my reality tunnel has missed it's mark compared to yours.

>TL;DR Meditate. Experience Ego Death.

>>30788

I make little tweaks daily to my reality, and eventually I will have phased through enough to live in my world of ideal forms.

Also, deoxy.org if you want to learn more.

About a month ago I was drunk smoking weed at this huge river in my city and this girl came up to me blabbering about reality tunnels. I didn't know what the hell she meant, but I kept her number and we've been texting spoken word to each other ever since.

This image is incredible, I can hear the chilled strings playing when I look at it.

It all depends on the circumstances of colonisation. Mineral extraction will always come before a utilitarian purpose or the protection of our species. If our resources are stretched to far and colonisation of Mars is cheaper than mining on meteors then within the next 100 to 250 Mars colonisation will begin. I suspect that geo-domes will be the primary habitat for man during the early years. I suspect that the first inhabitants will be workings for a environmental development project. The primary goal of the early colonisers will be to reduce the CO2 atmosphere for 90% to less than 20% while raising oxygen content. One of the major difference to long term colonisation of Mars will be the breathable air content. Instead of nitrogen being a major component in Earth air, Mars air will have a CO2 content similar to the Earth's Nitrogen composition. However for sustained Human colonisation a more inert gas has be present in the atmosphere. Also one of the primary factors into the long term of the human species if the amount of gravity present. It may be found that having a controlled black hole at the core of mars may to much of an impact of the gravitational variable on the solar system as a whole. If may be decided that there are small city like geo-domes with a extreme electromagnetic field contained within it to keep all mass drawn to a bass plate.

Though I do digress, the first preliminary human settlement of mars will be at the dawn of 2100. This will be the first non corporate or government related immigrants of Mars. I suspect Mars will most likely become a way station for further space travel. Possibly it may become the slum of the solar system.

>>30818
Sorry for so many grammatical and spelling errors. Umm, use your imagination?

I honestly think that we'll outgrow terraforming. With technologically enhanced humans and synthetic intelligences, we as a species will be able to explore and habitate on planets without modifying them to be more like Earth, as we should. I think we should keep the natural state of planets we discover as much as we can.

>The thing about divergent evolution is, by the time we develop the technology necessary to live in huge space stations throughout the solar system, we should have advanced the realms of genetic technology, bionics, and computing to completely control the path of our evolution.

Perhaps but those accomplishments may not be possible in a religious world as OP pointed out. If a society could form outside the control of religion, that may accelerate the course of that evolution even if the society starts out as only a small station in LEO.

fuck that man

It's inevitable that we move on to exploring other places in the solar system anyway, we know it's possible, the ISS exists after all and the russians are trying to build a space hotel. Space is a damn good place for separating from religion because as far as we know, there's no nukes in space, freedom from religion guaranteed.
