Your top 10 that would most excite you of tech and science!

Your top 10 that would most excite you of tech and science!
1. Anti-aging that stops the aging process for at least decades but better if it was hundreds of years.
2. Bioprinting of limbs or organs
3. information downloading straight into your brain. No more need for school.
4. Warp drive to travel between planets and solar systems like in star trek.
5. Teleporting. A to B travel for miles or even further away in a blink of an eye.
6. Cheap driverless cars. Every car in the future is capable of it and you can buy it on the cheap.
7. Male pregnancy. Be it womb transplant or gene editing to allow us all to have wombs. No more dealing with snakes!
8. Robotic + a.i maid that does everything for you in every home. Does your dishes, makes your bed and cleans!
9. Robotic communism doing the basic manufacturing and industry so everyone can get extremely cheap goods and food for little to nothing. IF it is cheap goods we could easily have a basic income for all.
10.shields like in star trek so when you're going warp speed your ship doesn't blow up when it hits the tiniest little spic!
11. Gravity machine like in star trek so your bones don't loose density.
12. Advance gene tool that can fix errors in the genetic code and make people normal and also has the ability to select for only the best genes within a genome. This tool is clean and never fucks up.

Wouldn't it make more sense to make artificial wombs outside of human bodies, where zygotes could grow to healthy babies? So that both men and women (and other potential genders) could have more time and energy for work and hobbies?

And "gene tools to make people normal" sounds a bit suspicious, if you tell that to me. What "normal" means exaclty? Wouldn't it make more sense to allow people for editing like they see fit, perhaps with some rules to make it safer?

Otherwise I agree with the list.

Maybe in some cases if you're extremely rich!...But, 1. would you trust a company to store and look after your child? Wouldn't it be better to do what humans have had to gone through throughout our history? How it is done and what is natural? 2. also your body is far more capable of feeding and maintaining the life of your child. It would cost a lot more money for a company to build the machinery and to provide basic care and food. Why reinvent the wheel? One asshole and your child is gone. 3. Ethics and acceptance. You really think the conservatives are going to accept baby farms over bioprinted womb implants that are similar to the wombs of females and are already being done in biological woman?

And a genetic tool to produce the highest quality people with the highest quality of life, least chance at developing cancer, heart disease, etc. No one should live with these problems. There's nothing wrong with having the highest intelligence your genetic line can produce? What's unethical and wrong within my mind is allowing your child to have a 80 level iq with serious inabilities in life. That is wrong.

I think Weather means "healthy" when he says "normal."

Also them right-wingers gonna hate both. They hold quite the opposite of your obsession with mpreg stuff...

I love how this guy went from center left to far left to Nazi to woke with a pregnant men fetish, all in the past 10 years.

80 IQ would be a super-genius among gorillas or orangutans though.

It may well be, that in the future even 180 IQ will be considered very low intelligence.

1. Anti-aging/life-extending technologies - I want to live decades past what is considered "normal" today at the very least (so 120 years minimum) but preferably what I really want is to live to see longevity escape velocity and live "forever" or as close to it as our universe and physics will allow life to exist (entrophy being the big one).

2. Bioprinting limbs and organs - Again, it's about extended life and health.

3. BCI and neural interfaces - I'm scared of write capabilities, too much potential for "brain hacking", but the people who want that mostly just want it for FIVR/full dive/SAO/the Matrix stuff, and that's not my interest. Read capabilities are so much more interesting to me, that could allow us to control things in the real world. Turn on/off lights, change channels and streaming services, mute/unmute your speakers, control drones, all with your thoughts.

4. Advanced Prosthetics - I dream of the day when we can become cyborgs and live with upgraded bodies beyond what is capable with biology. We're still a far way away from them being equal to what nature has given us never mind better than what we have now, but they're getting better.

5. MR/XR Glasses/Contacts - The use cases are so numerous, just watching videos of some of the features of the Apple Vision Pro give a hint at what's possible. Translate text in real time, put timers anywhere, watch instructional videos to help accomplish tasks, get directions to places, basically a better smart phone that frees up a hand and doesn't take your vision away from the world around you.

6. Advanced Gene Editing - Ties in with anti-aging and life extension and improved health and health spans, and it only ranks lower because I personally understand it less. But what I do understand about the potential of it is exciting.

7. Robotics and AI - Technically two separate things that complement each other, but I'm counting them as one - especially since they're most interesting to me where they connect. Robotic surgeons, robotic rescue workers, robots to assist the elderly and disabled, and finally robots to assist regular people (aka the robot "butler" or "maid"). And roughly in that order too, as priority should be given to saving lives and improving the lives of those who need it most.

8. Smart Transportation - Most people only think of it as self driving cars, but I don't hate driving that much to be interested in it. But big picture there's scooters that follow you around as you walk and then let you drive when you decide you've walked enough or need to make time, arriving somewhere and having a car ready for you, having it take you somewhere scenic where you can get out and take a smart bike/scooter/motorcycle to sight-see somewhere scenic. Transportation becomes something you don't need to ever think or worry about.

9. eVTOL - Personal flying vehicles has been everyone's dream since the Jetsons. Flying is a dream I thought would never come to be beyond the air travel we've all been familiar with for the past century, but we're actually seeing working prototypes. It'll still be decades before the laws and regulations are settled and they're more than toys for the rich, but eventually we'll all be able to take small flights around a city.

10. Nanotechnology - Of all the ones on my list, this is the one that is furthest out in the future. I don't really expect anything major or practical here for 30 to 50 years. But the potential is immense - imagine nanobots in your bloodstream cleaning out plaque so heart attacks become impossible, targeting cancer cells directly so you never have to worry, it's one of those holy grail technologies for health. I've been interested in nanotechnology ever since I read about respirocytes in a magazine among other technologies (that was the day I became a transhumanist).

What would significantly improve my mood and satisfaction, order is incidental:

1. extending healthspans for humans and their pets
2. successfully automating a few major relatively low-skill occupations
3. improving human cognition
4. more control over own bodies, not being slaves to nature
5. ending corruption and wars
6. personal computers which can work weeks on a single charge
7. fully next-gen computing hardware paradigm
8. making important stuff the focus, instead of trivialities
9. ending disinformation on all fronts
10. clothing with temperature control

When it comes to robots and Ai technology is really progressing fast here.Things that where scfi just 5 years ago.

When comes to gene editing they are progressing really fast here, there also brain and computer interface looks really cool.

Where they still seems to be major set back is organ printing where back in 2010 it was 10 years out for simple organ printing and 20 years out for more complex printed organ.

Sadly we don’t even have printed bladder today.

Stem cell research seems to really slow done where 10 years ago it was really promising.
