Without looking


- Completely self driving cars
- Cancer virtually eliminated with early detection
- English becomes the near universal language (seriously, multiple languages are just a hindrance in an age of global communication) Native languages are preserved by only a few.
- Deep space capabilities result in discoveries of legitimately viable habitable planets. Advances in interstellar travel will have made for efficient travel within the solar system.
- Massive highly automated indoor farming make for record yields
- Artificial Intelligence will surpass human capabilities

None of those were in the list, however, you can add them on if you click on the link.

Already have those.


- Cancer virtually eliminated with early detection

And give up on a cash cow like this? I don't think so.

Sometimes I forget how young you are. The internet gave english a boost that is already dissipating.




- Deep space capabilities result in discoveries of legitimately viable habitable planets.

Don't underestimate current telescopes. Nothing found yet.


Advances in interstellar travel will have made for efficient travel within the solar system.

Nope. How do you avoid obstacles in space at a high rate of speed.


- Massive highly automated indoor farming make for record yields

Indoor? Why, with the abundant energy source we already have outdoors.



- Artificial Intelligence will surpass human capabilities

Given the honors level study that I did in AI my fourth year, you would be wrong again. The bridge between decision algorithms and pure thought is simply just unachievable.

American arrogance.

Hilarious!

All lined up - get your ducks in a row.

I'm referring to mass production smart guy, but here, I'll spell it out for you

Sometimes I forget you don't know most of India and other countries are already learning it in much higher numbers as a way of communicating with Europe and the Americas.


Nothing found yet.
Well damn, let's give up

Once again, let's give up now, great idea

Because I'm sure you've heard of windows. Also controlled environments.
It's like you didn't think about anything you wrote in this entire post.

"unachievable" lolololol,,,, go talk to Stephen Hawking Mr honors student.

A lack of information on your part is no excuse.

Yea cause all bilingual peeps is english and something else.

Well damn, let's give up


Do a little research, you know that thing you dislike and see how far out we have been able to view through a telescope at this point in time.

Once again, let's give up now, great idea


Ignoring constraints don't solve em.

Well that is why I get my grapes from Chile these days rather than from the local fruit stand.

Ok we can talk about those aliens coming . But don't interact with them!!!! Or perhaps his long list of unproven, and disproved theories.

You're just arguing, not really making any points.

This is pretty pointless. Night

American arrogance.
Just being realistic. As world communication increases, individual languages become obsolete. A global language is clearly preferable and the only real options are English and Spanish as they already cover large portions of the globe. It's simply the most efficient to teach everybody one as their growing up now and in two generations the entire planet would have a unified language.

It's practical, not arrogant.


Hilarious!
Well it's learning capability, storage capacity, and recall will exceed ours exponentially.

What were you laughing at?
