Sorry, these are actually terrible. Some of the biggest questions off the top of my head: 1) How do we build machines that repair themselves? 2) How can we get human bodies to automatically repair and regrow damaged limbs and organs? 3) How do we build an energy source that is the same volume and mass as a litre of petroleum, is as stable and portable as petroleum but possesses 10x the energy density? 4) How can we get the human immune system to automatically develop suitable antiviral antibodies to combat a viral infection? 5) When will heated toilet seats become standard in North American homes (or at least north of Virginia)?

Solution to everything: put human (consciousness) into silicon. Now all problems becomes one dimensional. (2), (4), (5) becomes moot, (3) is quite unnecessary because time is now more or less expendable, and we can just work on (1).

The problem with your questions, they're pragmatic with clear goals and ends. The questions in... question... are vague, have no clear defined endpoints and serve as a form of mental masturbation. Which I say in all seriousness. It's similar to English lit "analysis" of blue curtains. No "real" answer. It's all strictly to make the one posing the questions feel smart by stopping people and hoping theres no real answer because a follow up is too difficult for the pretentious ass that formed the questions. The business, econ, AI and philosophy ones are especially terrible. I've never used a fancy Japanese toilet, but it does make me wonder why there hasn't been a real push to import them into the states. We buy plenty of stupid crap already... haha... fancy toilets seem right up our alley. For 3, I believe physics says atomic energy is the only other route. I wish I could remember where I read a long and a bit over my head section to a book about this.... and nuke powered cars/planes is a recipe for disaster.
