Let's put aside 2018 for a moment and imagine society in 2100.
Gene editing and human cloning will happen: only a matter of time. What we can't accept today, someone else will accept tomorrow.
Now, add automation (remember, this is 2100), climate change and resource depletion into the mix and well, I'll let you draw your own conclusions.
- b_tterc_p 8y agoIm not sure what your point is. There are numerous possible paths to go here with the tech listed.
- remir 8y agoThe point is that past a certain point, things will get wild.
- antisthenes 8y agoProbably much sooner than 2100. Blade runner 2049 seemed fairly on point with the erratic climate, rising sea levels, hyper-urbanization and mass extinction of both animal and plant life. And "cloning" in a sense. Only a matter of time before someone finds a gene for obedience and decides to edit it to create a workforce. Amazon warehouse conditions and Equifax leaks will seem like child's play compared to that.
