RE: Star Trek Is Pretty Much North Korea In Space

not nerly a parallelism. you can't just bring up any innovation and claim that if that is done, anything will be done..come on.

If a species creates the transistor, they're going to create an Internet too if they keep progressing as it's the logical progression of the technology.

In the 1960's we got people speaking about Moon colonies in 20 years. How come it did not happen?

Because it was completely impractical and uneconomical to do so. Transitioning to a synthetic species is neither.

Possibly but we are more or less 300 years away (minimum) . not as close as one might think.

If you truly think that, you're going to be utterly gobsmacked by how fast society changes over the next couple of decades. Google this stuff and see what the experts in those fields are saying. It's far closer to being 30 years away than it is 300 years. You think it's 300 years away because you think technology is progressing at a linear rate but it isn't, it's progressing at a exponential rate.

you simply can't know this even if it makes sense logically.

space and immortality are pretty much the same thing. Why explore a deadly void? why live forever? fear of death is a religious concept btw. Q had the right idea.

said every single futurist of every era. You believe too much sci-fi bro.

news are sensational bro. don't be so gullible.

It was. the transistor might have been going on an exponential rate but we kind hit a benchmark now.
