>no cool sci-fi shit will ever actually exist>no flying cars>no extreme medical breakthroughs>no teleportation>no interstellar space travel>we're basically at the peak of what we can doOh but lemme guess there's study that nobody has ever been able to replicate that MAY be cool
>>16871086But there is so much cool stuff science is doing right now, anon. In my opinion, we already have cool sci-fi shit.
>>16871086Biology itself is the cool sci-fi shit.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OT5AXGS1aL8https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VrRl0UTlA8
>>16871101The closest thing we have to cool sci-fi shit is the smartphone and it's become a mundane piece of trashTell me when we figure out how to fix any ailment or levitate anywhere
>>16871109If we invent all these "sci-fi" things, they will become just as mundane, and people will still complain. That is human nature, every human achievement just sets a new bar but doesn't make anyone any happier.
>>16871114I'd like the mundanity of teleportation or being effectively immune to deteriorating
>>16871116But you don't like the mundanity of modern medicine, computing, or flying?
>>16871086>no extreme medical breakthroughsIf CRISPR doesnt count then literally nothing would.
>>16871131Modern medicine sucks>hey take this pill, it may or may not help you haha>dementia? Well we can't do anything haha>got a common form of cancer? Well you may still die cause lol>>16871139Hasn't done shit yet and it'll just make retards REE about GMOs and supposed designer babies
>>16871086flying cars are already a thing, in alpha stage though, guess richfags don't want to fund them
>>16871086>>16871145flying cars available to the masses will never happen. an extra dimension adds too much liability that would make it prohibitively expensive.
>>16871235ur thinking about clogged 3d roads aren't u? it might never get to that point, because this starts as expensive option, which might or might not ever get cheap for the masses, it will probably be more affordable than an heli, and faster. but alas
>>16871086Plenty of things can be done within normal science, such as immortality and sub light speed space travel
>>16871086Why can't we connect a bunch of gpus to run in parallel and create a mega ai simulation to recreate the human body from the atomic level up and then gg evolution?
The BlackFly already exists.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmbNZ8ZAcwU&t=403sDon't even need a pilot's license.
>>16871262I'm following pretty much all prototypes of flying cars, and I was pretty against this one, but now I'm seeing it with different eyes. It's still pretty ugly, but also solves many drawbacks
>>16871086I would bet my left nut that most of this has already been accomplished to some degree, but it's all classified under some stupid SAP because the government is gay.
>>16871086We got sci-fi tier talking assistants. That's pretty much it.
>>16871086>no interstellar space travelThis is the one that gets me, I want to explore the universe so damn badly, but it's forever our of my reach, if and when humanity reaches it I'll have long expired, unless consciousness trasfer/upload happens in the next 60~ years I will never experience it. Basically I will never experience itFlying cars could've existed if humanity wanted though, they're just dumb as shit in practice
>>16871131Most people aren't aware of how amazing modern medicine is because of how gated it is by evil elites
>>16871086Motherfucker, we LIVE in a sci-fi future. The world you take for granted would be utterly incomprehensible to somebody from 1850. Go for an hour drive in your car that's effortless and consider that used to take DAYS to go that distance while also listening to a radio that wasn't even conceived of then. While you're there you can also whip out that "phone", which is actually a fairly powerful computer that fits in your pocket fer chrissake, and use it to access a service that can put the entirety of human knowledge in your hand. Maybe you could go over to the airport and hop on a plane that has intercontinental range and go visit a country on the other side of the fucking world tomorrow instead of months or years.
>>16871445Not enough, it feels normal, triple future sci-fi it
>>16871445>1850Yeah and the sci-fi from 1950 never came and never willRunning water would blow a 19th century person's mind m8
>>16871142Modern medicine has ended contagious diseases. People used to die in droves from things like smallpox, tuberculosis, syphilis, bubonic plague, whooping cough, cholera, yellow fever, typhus, malaria, diphtheria, scarlet fever, measles and about 100 other diseases you probably never heard of. The only diseases people really get now is heart-related or cancer, which is something that can be prevented via lifestyle and not something you get by someone coughing on you.>>16871445/threadPeople take the world we live in extremely for granted. Until the 1800s the idea of sci-fi and the world changing with groundbreaking technology didn't even exist. When they finally discovered that the world was indeed changing, the British held a massive public event in 1851 showcasing all the cool new science, arts, and machines to the world.
>>16871086self driving cars are here nowreusable rockets are here nowmega constellations with lasers in space are here nowglobal highspeed low latency internet for everyone on earth (if gov/country allows)AI is almost here nowmoon/mars on the horizon in few years
>>16871086There's good money to be made in experimenting on people, exploiting the condition, and never truly curing them. There are common, known treatments kept hidden like insider magic tricks.
>>16871574Uh huhSure there areEverything's a god damn conspiracyDementia reversal and the end of cancer is hidden by big pharma
>>16871577Extreme money addiction isn't the most honest religion out there in life.
>>16871579Why did it only start now then?Smallpox is gone Could still be milking that forever but we decided to end itSame with every single disease with an effective vaccineHell so is our ability to buy soap
>>16871086None of that exists because jews forced retarded poop-colored people on the West so our progress came to a halt.
>>16871593Yeah man I'm sure if Ranjeet never came to the US we'd be settling Andromeda right now while living forever
>>16871262That is not a flying car, its an ultra light aircraft, a flying car is an airphibious vehicle that is not only able to fly, but also be street legal for driving on the highway system.
>>16871537Sure, if only we had a space station or constellations of satellites that allow us to look at any spot on earth while enabling instant global communications.
>>16871569>cancer, which is something that can be prevented via lifestyleSure if by lifestyle you mean not living or being born on an earth that has been irradiated by decades of nuclear testing.
>>16871407do tell though
>>16871569>all of those illnesses have the potential to come back due to antivax retardsfingers crossed, hope it happens
>>16871637that's too silly pham, flying car takes u from ur home to ur work building rooftop and that's it, no need for wheels
>>16871647>earth that has been irradiated by decades of nuclear testinghey that's a cool enough theory about cancer unironically, I bet it could be proven with some measurements here and there
>>16871645Yeah and what did the internet give us>4chanInternet was a mistake>>16871652Even if they did they would never be as much of a problem as in the past cause we have widespread soap usage
>>16871654No, its the literal definition of a flying car, something that is both capable of being a car and of flying, if you just want something that flies, not only have ultralight aircraft existed for a century, but so have dirigibles and hot air balloons.>no need for wheelsHow are you planning to taxi it into a hanger without wheels?
>>16871652kek, based
>>16871669dense pham, think helis but cheaper and also faster, helis don't jave wheels right?
>>16871678Helicopters need to be trailered around to get to their hangers, go through tunnels, and be maintained and whatnot, so they still depend on wheels, now you just need multiple vehicles to use your helicopter properly instead of having one vehicle that can both fly around and drive around as is the case with flying cars that serve both as cars and as flying vehicles.But yes, I agree that you are being too dense to even understand the point of a flying car, so you are trying to shift the goal to aerial vehicles instead.
>>16871683the "flying car" crowd who thought it was about hybrid car/fling vehicle got laughed out of the room long ago, literally no need for a car when1. the city traffic is clogged2. you literally fly in from origin to destination witjout further moving required3. try making an hybrid vehicle and you'll star to realize how retarded that is
>>16871657The issue is kids. They don't care about hygiene and cover themselves with the others' body fluids at school then they come home and infect the family
>>16871142If modern medicine was miraculous and all saving the world would be overrun with dysgenic retards
>>16871732No, flying car is still defined as a thing that is both a car and a flying machine or you would just be calling it an aircraft.1. Its not about the city traffic, its about the first and last mile, getting the vehicle in and out of storage.2. No, you still need to park it in a garage.3. They still exist even if you want to ridicule them and wish them away not only do air/land hybrids exist, but there are sea/land hybrids, air/sea hybrids, and air/land/sea hybrids.
>>16871736Anon...
>>16871086>no flying carsGood.>no extreme medical breakthroughsEvery single reliable cure for every single disease is an "extreme medical breakthrough" so those still do and will keep on happening. >no teleportationGood.>no interstellar space travelGood. >we're basically at the peak of what we can doDefine "peak".
>>16871738>No, because I'm retardedok then
>>16871755Yes you clearly are too retarded to understand that a flying car needs to be a car and a flying machine to be a flying car instead of just an aircraft.
>>16871760it's just a name retard, flying "cars" make 0 sense, simple as
>>16871748Yeah tell me when cancer is actually cured or we make any progress at all on dementia or even just getting the plaque out of our arteries
>>16871761Doesn't change the fact that a flying car is a completely different machine than just a lightweight aircraft and its retarded to claim otherwise, but simple seems more your speed so we can leave it at that.You are the retard who wants to have a whole other land vehicle just to move your "flying car" in and out of storage.
>>16871736well, fuggg :DDDDD:D
>>16871764Cancer is hundreds if not thousands of different disease, several of which have been cured, penis cancer for instance was basically wiped out with the HPV vaccine.Dementia has made significant progress and maybe not artery plague, but tooth plaque has had some breakthroughs recently with the advent of tech to regrow teeth.
>>16871775Cancers are all runaway cells right?Gotta be some shit that is universal in how that shit triggers and our body doesn't stop itUntil we can either regenerate the brain or halt the degradation we haven't done shit Tooth regeneration sounds cool I guess. Bet implementation won't happen for a ridiculously long time
>>16871765>retard not getting it despite several examples providedexcellence, in retardation that is, carry on
>>16871796You didn't provide any example, you provided retarded coping for why you think a type of car doesn't need to be a car.
>>16871796>>16871765I'm sorry for insulting you. basically my point is that if the vehicle takes you from a to b there's no further travel required that isn't just an elevator, because you travel from your home's backyard or front street to your office's building roof top.that means in its first stages it isn't meant for poor people or adopted en massethink of it as a better, faster helicopter for slightly less rich the
>>16871086>>16871445
>>16871826Fuck you TeslaWeak willed faggot could've given us free energy if he wasn't such a weak willed faggotActual sci-fi shit
>>16871086Yes, the future is dead and capitalism has to eat itself in nostalgia.
>>16871764Careful anon, you're sounding a bit too much like the age cure schizo.
>>16871833edison and corporate america were never going to allow a commodity to be given away for free
>>16871803>if the vehicle takes you from a to b there's no further travel required that isn't just an elevatorIt doesn't, though, it takes you from just past a nearly to b unless you have a wheeled vehicle at your home garage and a wheeled vehicle at the location you are arriving.>that means in its first stages it isn't meant for poor people or adopted en masseNo it means it isn't meant for modern parking structures or buildings and you will have to redesign every business to have wider roofs. >you travel from your home's backyard Also, only poor people have backyards with wide open spaces instead of intricate landscaping, personal gardens, and large sculptures or art installations.
>>16872373>>16872373I remember why I insulted you, you make up alternative realities in your mind where you're rigjt, but they're not real, I refuse to keep arguing with you
>>16871826the fucko sure knew how to take kino pics, I've seen a few now where he makes sure he looks like le ebin scientist
>>16871086>no extreme medical breakthroughsThe past 30 years were a fever dream in medical technology. So much happened, so many cancers were cured and things like an HIV vaccine are genuinely within reach.
>>16871764>when cancer is actually curedwhich one?We're curing one like every other month.
>>16872415No, the alternate reality is your weird imaginary universe where cars don't have to be cars because all aircraft are flying cars and helicopters can shuttle themselves into their hangar.
>>16872426All of them.
>>16871131>you don't like the mundanity of modern medicineNo I don't. Curing all cancer would only add 3 years to average lifespan. It's pathetic.
>>16871596We'd certainly be on Mars you niggerloving queer
>>16872462We should've been on Mars in the 80s but we decided to waste money on the shitty shuttle program
>>16872464Could have had a good reusable vehicle AND Mars without carrying violent apes on our back
>>16872467jews would be jewing regardless, let me know when you solve the:media, housing, banking problem you stupid retard, keep hard focusing on browns and you'll forever get manipulated
>>16872464Remember what they took from you Look back in anger
>>16872467i wish blacks were the somehow unstoppable force that grinds civilization to a halt that rightoids think they are
>>16871106these videos may even say important shit but the music and sound effects make them so faggy holy shit, intolerable
>>16871086Posted from my pocket communicator/tricorder.
>>16872652Yes we have the smartphoneLiterally nothing else
>>16873171If only we had space stations and satellite constellations and rockets that could land themselves or something more exciting than just a small device that can connect to anyone in the world in your pocket.
>>16873171>i feel like i should have another deviceKek.
>>16871109If everyone had flying cars you'd be bitching about how mundane it is that everyone has flying cars and how the skies are full of crappy drivers and how your commute to work doesn't really save you any time.
>>16871086<you are here>>no AI
