@Bee Why would we? There's no point to do that, if the IQ differences melt away

The far right thrives on the claim that these are immutable differences - I think that this whole notion is totally baseless and cannot be defended against a properly scientific world outlook

what if i told you that opening the borders for cheap third world labor and to race mix to wipe away cultural identity to give in to consumerism as the culture, is exactly what the capitalists want? @Xinyue

you wish that were true xinue

@Bee I mean....the nations will merge *gradually*. I don't think borders will melt away in our lifetimes

It will be something effected by the changes in material and technical conditions

it will be generational

this will still happen, identityless, consumerism...

easy to control

it doesn't have to result in consumerism.. like Europe can go in one of multiple ways, one of which can be a rise in Spiritual Islam and a return to Tradition Lifestyle.

what if the capitalists didn't give people the IQ technology

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
