the dark future

it's really cool to think about the future, even if it is
kinda disturbing. like some people mentioned, how autechres
albums sound like the takeover and evolution of machines.
what do you think the world will be like in say, the year
4000? be creative, and realistic at the same time. it's
almost beyond comprehension....what the distant future
holds.

i think that pretty soon every thing that can be invented,
will hae been invented, technology will reach its limit and
everything will stay exactly the same.....except of cource
for the amount of food, that will continue to dwindle tilll
we all die

we cannot predict how the world will look like in a year
4000. too distant date- but i think there wont be any
intelligent lifeforms on our planet- nuclear powers are our
curse...

Whatever it'll be, it'll be as "real" as the present is now.
The present already seems "futuristic". It'll be the same
except more fucked up.
The ecosystems/lifestyles/culture are in a realm that is an
evolutionary leap ahead of our lagging biological selves.
Overpopulation must be dealt with in one way or another, and
I don't reckon colonizing planets will be a reasonable
option.

and sooner or later human kind will not be human-looking at
all. we will be getting our fragile bodies replaced little
by little by machines. and of course nanotechnology will be
very important one these days.

the earth is in exactly the middle of its life cycle.....in
a few billion years there will be no more humans, but some
other animal must have evolved into intellagent life by
then, and they may dig up human artifacts and wonder what
kind of life we lead, and base their teachings around our
ideals.....

Yeah, we'll have to use technology if we want to modify our
biology, it's not like we let natural selection work anymore
for us. Mutations will continue to occur though, as they
always have, they'll just pile up, lots and lots of weird
ones, and since most mutations are harmful (what chance
would a mutation happen to be beneficial... small) it
doesn't look good. I've very pessimistic about the future, I
refuse to reproduce myself.

maybe birds? they re totally different form us- mammals and
birds take their beginning independent from each other from
reptiles.

I don't want to be part of a species who's direction seems
to be the destruction of beauty...

most animals today would be exticnt before humans are.....i
was wondering what an octopus would be like, they are more
intellagent than birds.....

check this site out!

pretty interesting, but sides to much towards scientology,
and communism. but a very intruguing concept indeed.

natural selection is not workong for us humans anymore- it
is not the enviroment which changes us- we are changing it.
