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?

Why would they? @Bee What incentive would they have?

for them

easy to control people that way

we have no idea about half of why things evolved the way they did

keep them dumb

leave nature alone

First of all, to think that *no data would leak out to public organisations,* or that *public sector doesn't ever get hold of this information* (even as right no much of this is being researched by the public sector R&D) seems highly ad hoc to me

@Bee kraWhats the difference between the capitalists you are talking about and a socialist dictator ?

Second of all, once this technology *does* get out and becomes widespread (every nation has interest in having its population at the peak, in order to remain competitive in innovation and such), it will lead to the aforementioned results. Can you argue it doesn't?

its moreso internationalist capitalism and internationalist communism, which wants to get rid of the nation through "open borders", if the communist plays that hand then that plays directly into the capitalists hand, which wants cheap labor

esp 3rd world labor

which would drive down wages

"peak", before unintended consequences show up like high iq populations having extremely low birth rate to the point of permanent disability in population replenishment
