what then?

Somewhere in the 2100s, I think, the merging-together will happen. Maybe mid-2100s, *assuming* the species goes that far

easy to control cheap labor, with nothing to live for than consumerism and hedonism

That would imply that capitalism isn't defeated, and communism has failed. Arguably nationalism too. But see, the capitalist *has the incentive to do so* - what other technology will yield profits like this? Tell me.

Future predictions y'all are making are essentially at the end of it all Baseless and Hopeful.

so do you think that borderless international communism and capitalism is not the same thing?

both want open borders

pick one

one is realistic, other isn't

both literally want it

what is wrong with open borders? what are your contentions with it?

basically you're on the side of the koch brothers

its pretty obvious gerc

This is something that *people in the field* are predicting, which is based in the kind of findings that have been made across the past decade or so. Similarly like futurist could predict things semi-accurately following the discovery of General Relativity, 20th century rocketry and study of orbits, space and more, and such, it is not impossible to predict what will happen as a consequence of us increasingly understanding what neurochemical processes are involved in the producing of intelligence, creativity and more. Nootropics is currently taking mere baby steps, but it will become a huge industry over time.

Open borders are the key to cultural massification.

you will still have a certain level of diversity, because people self segregate

The minorities will self segregate, and eventually disappear

I mean to just ignore for a moment the high-level intelligence research associated with AI development and consciousness research, just look at some low-level research that will yield us many benefits - research on why green tea and other herbs like it improve memory, combat alzheimer's, why they have the ability to improve neurochemical processes associated with intelligence, etc. etc. There's so much research being conducted on all levels that to think that this won't yield us benefits like the ones that futurists are predicting (on the basis of research such as this) is strange to me.

Unless there is milf

you're looking at a very very very long time frame

Arent you also ?

you're looking at half a millennia or something when all diversity disappears and everything levels out

that's at the very least

probably longer

I mean I'm not talking about people becoming one blob, I'm talking about nations merging

Do you consider our world diverse ?

those are two different things

the world is diverse, yes

@Xinyue xYou would have a dude with 3 doctor degrees cleaning the streets

see xin, i agree with you for all the wrong reasons lol

africa will be a blob, middle east will be a blob, asia will be a blob, europe and russia

but not mixing per se

There's no reason to segregate around the racial lines

none

once the things that have been discussed here come to pass,

True, but races bring cultures, you cant bring races alone.

the one argument race realists have - that IQ differences make for broken societies - vanishes

which they hopefully don't xinue

Go to bed

what if the capitalists win and hold back the technology from the public

you will outsource human Evolution to a machine?
