I seriously feel pissed about all the wonders of the future I'll never get to witness. All the things the human race is going to do. All the places it will go.

I seriously feel pissed about all the wonders of the future I'll never get to witness. All the things the human race is going to do. All the places it will go. Of course, that's assuming our species doesn't suffer a biotech apocalypse before then.

If you reverse that and think about all the wonders and scientific progress that’s been made up till now, it’s easy to say that’s it never been a better time to be alive.

  It's pretty interesting how people are always upset about not living forever or getting to witness the future while nobody ever seems to be bothered that they were born too late to see incredible sights like dinosaurs or getting to see the Incan empire at its peak or something.

    If you think about it, the further you're born into the future the more likely it you'll be able to see the things you're talking about.

But also think about how jealous future generations are going to be of us, born in space, never being able to walk on a beach, always having to worry about their space station’s life support systems failing.

  Grass is always greener... Beside they can easily walk on a beach with the Valve Index 3000.

I'm right there with you. The one thing I really want to see is the invention of strong AI. That will take us into an era unimaginable for us.

I'll take being the last generation to experience childhood without the internet and mobile phones, and it's not even close.

  I'm sure there are plenty of kids worldwide today without internet and mobile phones. Maybe even the majority.

yeah. don’t be. you’re thinking about the best case scenario probably. in reality if we keep doing the things we do we’re headed towards a world where it would be really hard to survive. space and space colonization? really hard with the current tech and even if the tech was there only a few people will get to do that. the costs will be absurdly high and we also have physical constraints that we cannot bypass. biotech? in the first few waves it’s gonna be a rich person game. money is literally going to buy you more years.
