the ability to scan one’s brain to unlock all the memories that i hope are still stored in there, uses would be things like knowing exactly how many times you’ve sneezed, how many sandwinches you’ve eaten, how many total minutes spent hiccuping, and you take the information and compare your stats with friends
Here’s the thing. You are all trillion of your features, but you are mostly an informative subset of maybe a million. You drop a verse of shakespeare from your memory and you’d essentially be the same person.
Your memories don’t encode every single thing that has happened to you, they encode blurry snapshots of fast-decaying events and flatten them over time depending on importance, filling in the blanks with other parts of your mind (made with other blurry decaying events).
If you thought AI was bad at hallucinating events, be glad you cannot ask your brain direct questions
That would be horrible. Law entforcement would have a field day (not with the fart statistics tho). Our brain is the last frontier of privacy.

I don’t know you or your situation, stranger, but it can happen as soon as you’re ready.
I’m ready but I’ve also been waiting.
life’s what you make it
That’s a part of what I mean. Why make it one thing as opposed to another thing? Not everyone is blessed to not have indecision.
The American Government dying
Do you have a license for that edge?
Maybe start with the death of the two-party system?

Loud engines aren’t a technological or engineering problem; they’re a self-esteem problem. Universal healthcare that includes mental health support and a strong working class economy will go a long way towards addressing those with low self-esteem, but they’ll never go away entirely.
That first wish is coming true with EV <3
I wish I could buy an electric motorcycle already, but they’re soo overpriced. Anyway, I expect them to become available at affordable prices within 10 years.
To see my enemies crushed. To see them driven before me. And to see more hybrid and electric vehicles on the road.
Genghis, we’ve talked about this before: you can’t snap arrows and push EV’s at the same time – there needs to be a transition period.
I want to see less vehicles on roads.
More walkability / bikability and public transit would be great!

Bring on the lamentations of the fossil fuel executives
Well, you could always close your eyes
We also would have accepted the lamentations of their women.
I hope I have a heart attack in my late 40s or early 50s so I don’t have to experience much of the future.
Finally winning the lottery!!
Just remember: 99% of gamblers quit just before they win big!
The US Government will remove their heads from their asses and work on fixing things before it’s too late.
Ideally by regulating the shit out of corporations, and dismantling fraudulent 501©(3)s like the Heritage Foundation.
Just having better options for the next presidential election would be a step in the right direction.
Hopefully more states start to heavily push the Alternative or Ranked Choice voting systems.
There are entrenched entities heavily invested, literally and figuratively, in aligning the government with their interests, and against the interests of the majority. Their primary methods are propagandizing the gullible to vote for the representatives they have invested in, and fomenting apathy in those they cannot propagandize.
The solution is two-fold: supporting candidates aligned with your interests throughout their career from local elections up to more powerful ones, and voting in every election for the front-runner who is less detrimental to those interests.
If you think the current government has their heads in their asses, it’s a good bet that this two-fold solution takes the form of voting for progressives in local elections and greater primaries, and showing up to vote for whichever of the front-runner candidates is comparatively more progressive.
Voting for a candidate that is progressive but vastly unlikely to win is counterproductive. Not voting because none of the likely candidates is sufficiently progressive is counterproductive.
If everyone understood this, and showed up to vote, within a few election cycles we’d have a government composed of un-assed heads.

The Star Trek timeline, I just want a holodeck, but they just keep hawking this VR/AR crap :(
If you knew what came next in the ST timeline, you would not wish for it
It’s gonna be locked down. Everyone wants a holodeck, but imagine there are so many rules and regs on what you can and can’t do in one that it’s not even worth it?
Imagine playing GTA, but:
- you can’t hijack a train full of people
- buildings don’t take any damage when you fly helicopters into them
- people’s limbs don’t detach when you sever them
- you can’t make idle small talk with random NPCs without it escalating into violence
Would that be a GTA you would actually play?
One must walk before they can run. Probably. I dunno the future.
