Magical Ace Case

Haha, yeah, I like to keep fairly up to date with bleeding edge technologies as a rule, and generally ascribe to the philosophy of transhumanism, so I have a particular interest in the technologies that will allow to fundamentally improve human functions and lifespans. Man, the next 50 years are going to be so much more crazy than the vast majority of people dares to imagine. Automation, robotics both hard and soft, AI technologies, incredibly sophisticated and targeted gene therapy, photon-propelled nanobot technology, lab grown foods that are physically indistinguishable from animal or plant harvested foodstuffs (while being produced at a fraction of the environmental cost), these are all things that exists and are exploding today and show no sign of slowing down. It's insanely aggravating that the same can be said of decadent capitalism and global warming, because if those weren't the case I'd say with entire honesty that our species is set to hit levels of comfort and development that can only be called utopic within the projected lifespan of literally everyone currently using this website. The first people who will live to be 1000 have already been born, for example.

One of those nigh unimaginable advancements we will be witnessing within the next half century will be cerebral enhancement (likely through directly linking our brains to internet access and computing space first, and then through fundamental improvement to our neural architecture either through synthetic and/or genetic augmentation once we have fully mapped out the brain to the finest detail). And you're right that the frustrating nature of free will means that this alone will not be a magic bullet to resolving bigotry and ignorance, but it will certainly help shift the status quo.

Always happy to help someone discover more about themselves and understand their own inner workings. Always wanted to become a psychologist
