RE: Visions of Future and How Most People Are Blind

in Rant, Complain, Talk2 years ago

Don’t believe in the medical innovations and technology to benefit regular people, because it won’t. It’s reserved for the rich people to keep going, the ones that are probably better if they don’t live a lot longer and don’t push their crazy stuff on people. Look at how the last 2-3 years went. The common people were all forced to undergo an intervention many didn’t want and the majority of the most powerful did not participate. That should tell us where that’s going.

It is good to have some ideas of what trends will be popular. As you see it now, what’s the next trend since you’re an oracle? Lol! It would be cool to get on the right side of it now :D

Well, you are doing what my father and co did back then; dismissing my ideas.

But it is no biggie, we can laugh about how you were wrong about it in 20 years :)

I've seen first hand the abysmal failure that the medical system is and it only benefits those with money.

What do you foresee coming next? Was it the medical stuff here?

You know there are countries in this world where you don't go bankrupt from an ambulance ride. But I know it is hard to imagine that there are counties besides the US.

Well if you're referring to things like CRISPR, I have considerable doubts on the ability of that to do something beneficial that doesn’t cause wild unintended consequences.

As for longevity though, with the nutrition and clean water (relatively for sure) that we have today, absolutely people will be living longer. I think a lot more people may end up in their 100’s and 110’s than we might think. I saw something the other day of a Japanese guy at 87 surfing!

We have better technologies than CRISPR today, which is much more precise when editing genes.

New clinical trials are starting for Brain Simulations that will help treat diseases like seizures, and if they are successful there, they will help treat other neurological diseases like Parkinson's etc.

New clinical trials for targeted cancer treatments.

Longevity and ageing research are picking up steam, and one of the foci is ageing-related diseases.
