Can you give some examples when people use that in conversation? When I google it, links with BCI and BMI come up, mainly.

>Other than their changes made to the design team and staff, as well as corporate policy, design policy, and monetization policy. Oculus Rift is on it's way out, you'll need another producer for working VR. As a whole it likely will not take off in the next ten-fifteen years and it'll be longer before a successful MMI works so that VR isn't just a cute parlor trick.
All I can deduce from this perspective is that you still haven't been able to see what facebook has done in spite of their usual company policies. There are some negatives to the acquisation, but in large, the benefits outweigh them. I'll discuss mass acceptance of VR later.

>Because we're talking about a range of products and an emerging market?
Exactly, macroeconomics by definition doesn't deal with that. Microeconomics by definition does. Though in effect they have much overlap.

>Saying 200,000 years of human development matter when human society as more than tribe-groups haven't existed for more than 9000 is a bit disingenuous. Besides, almost all modern culture and economic principles are based on economic ideals from the 1600s onwards and hasn't changed remarkably since the invention of the corporation except perhaps for mass, quick communication.
Yes, I was also assuming and did not think at any point in time that just because we have lived that long, that development had always been the same. Society changes, as it had, so capitalism suited our needs. Mainly, the need to manage a very large population of people resulted in that. But society continues to change. Our economy will change with that.

This post system doesn't go that well with drawn out discussions.

> As far as facebook's influence is concerned, nothing has happened yet, and their intentions as far as anyone outside of their company is aware of, is to not interfere at all with what Oculus VR is doing until many years later when it is viable as a social platform.

>Why would you want macroeconomics if all we're talking about is the feasibility of a specific product? No doubt BCIs will be limited and won't reach everyone, but it will reach more than just a few people.
Because we're talking about a range of products and an emerging market?

>of the 200,000 of years humans have existed. Our society has changed and grown of course, and it has done so greatly within the last few centuries. That's all the more reason why we can modify and change our current systems.
Saying 200,000 years of human development matter when human society as more than tribe-groups haven't existed for more than 9000 is a bit disingenuous.

>but if you had just gone out on the street and asked a random stranger, would they really have made that prediction?
In 1900? Unless you're asking in like, mogadishu or something, yes probably. Though they would have probably estimated it further in the future than it actually was because nobody would have predicted two world wars. One, probably. France kind of went overboard on screwing over Germany.

>war in Ukraine
No, I mean like Russia dropping it's pretenses and getting stuck in.
>Finland
Assuming Finland kept up the quality of it's armies and hasn't let their draft and training go to shit, you'll probably see aggression from Russia within 10 to 15 years.
In 20 years Muslim immigration will start to become a serious issue, as they will be nearly 10% of the population and start demanding a bigger share of control of the country. Knowing the Finnish government unless there is an unforseen and highly radical change they will get it and begin enacting 'religious tolerance' laws within 20 years.
Expect crime rates to decline for about twenty years then slowly climb again.
Sweden+Norway will likely pester Finland into joining some sort of weird Scandinavian union around 25 years from now if the pattern holds as it has for the past hundred and fifty years.
Socialism as a system will likely hold strong for another 30 years before buckling under it's own weight as the aging population causes a serious strain on the nation's income, with the lack of new workers outside of immigrants the finnish government will start encouraging heavy immigration, likely from Africa as by this point the Mideast will either be a parking lot or a glass bowl.
I'm afraid that's all I can predict without better data.

>No actually, you're misinterpreting economics, because they want to make a profit, and that is based on supply and demand,
At best a elementary knowledge of economics. They'll make more money selling it as a luxury good than selling it en masse due to the phenomenon of conspicuous consumption.

> Also there is always a chance the economic system itself will be different by that time.
Well then we may as well throw our hands up in the air and declare everything to cost nothing, because capitalism is here to stay.

I don't care. Even if you don't realistically have the ability to do that, I will expect it all the same. I have no mercy. Of course I'm following some bias which I overtly denounce, but I'm letting it go on this one. Even a little help from someone, somewhere may have an effect. Maybe you'll be cured sometime. But it absolutely won't happen if you don't want it, or completely shut yourself off.

>Too optimistic. People aren't generally going to work for 'the best for humanity', they'll work for the best for them. Why do you think dictatorships exist? Why would crime exist if people worked for 'the best future for humanity'?

And those are things that can be overlooked in favor of the overall path humanity has taken. That's what I'm talking about, and the underlying assumption I was making, that humans on average will make progress. Things which were once acceptable, like racism, are now not as much so, for example.

>These aren't the problems. MMI might be possible in the next fifty years. But the rich will control it when it happens and if history has taught me anything it'll be another 10-25 years before even the weakest leaks down to the rapidly-shrinking middle class.
That can be probable, I never did deny that.

>Not monetary. Also, confirmed for no knowledge of economics. They won't charge based on building price, they'll charge based on what they can get away with.
No actually, you're misinterpreting economics, because they want to make a profit, and that is based on supply and demand, it will be exactly the right price. Consumers will demand it at that price. If they were selling over-priced things, and they were still doing well, then that would mean consumers still do think it's worth that price. Of course there are other factors like marketing, consumer bias, and other things, but those aren't predictable. Also there is always a chance the economic system itself will be different by that time. Another thing to think about is

All it takes is one earthquake in the wrong place to set off Russia's Dead Hand program and bombard the eastern seaboard and central united states with their 10,000 nuclear weapons. Sure, it'll probably never happen, but you could die instantly at any time and never know it's coming.... and it's human controlled.

>>12860389
>they will try to find the best possible future.
Too optimistic. People aren't generally going to work for 'the best for humanity', they'll work for the best for them. Why do you think dictatorships exist? Why would crime exist if people worked for 'the best future for humanity'?

>I already covered how it might be possible to have brain-computer-interfaces, and as for societal acceptance,
These aren't the problems. MMI might be possible in the next fifty years. But the rich will control it when it happens and if history has taught me anything it'll be another 10-25 years before even the weakest leaks down to the rapidly-shrinking middle class.
>Cost is also not that much of a factor, as it is always declining with new advances.
Not monetary. Also, confirmed for no knowledge of economics. They won't charge based on building price, they'll charge based on what they can get away with.

> If history has taught us anything, it's that the future is unpredictable
Wrong. History is extremely predictable. Cycles within cycles within cycles.

Actually, funny story about pennicilin; Literally found in a trash can. It's a fungus, and astoundingly cheap to make too. It would have remained extremely hard to get except for the outbreak of WW2, where the government forced it's release for soldiers.

>, while Genso would have penalties to its sacred units
It's not a penalty, I'm not sure you understand how magic power works, it's based off of the magic/drain scale for the providence the unit is located in, encouraging pretenders to take magic 2/3, while making them weaker in drain dominions, similar to how touhou are in gensokyo because the rest of the world stopped believing in magic.

This. The Gensou Shoujo Taisen games are excellent. The first game is translated (Fairy Maiden Wars) but the rest probably will never be. It is a four part series based on Super Robot Wars. Three are out now and the fourth will probably not come around till 2016 at best.

All this is based off my experience with VA Graduation.

To my surprise, Venus real didn't have any smell to it. Perhaps a faint smell, but nothing compared to the awful smell of VA Graduation. I felt safe stabbing my dick into her straight out of the box. This hole is a lube eater. I had to experiment multiple times until my dick slid in smoothly; it took about four globs. I started up faphero, and goddamn this hole takes two hands to move. Not only because of the weight/size of this massive hole, but also because of the unrelenting suction. The soft pressure was a completely different feel from VA Graduation's gradual constricting tunnel. Despite not being able to feel the texture, I came at 5:31 from the pressure/suction. Keep in mind, I don't last long.

Next up is Lolinco.

>Norse were weird like that.
Still, it's a historical precedent, and there are likely numerous more references that form the idea of "Modern Necromancy" more than just D&D.

And even if it weren't, which is highly unlikely given it's simple stupidity to claim that a wide-spread interpretation of something can come from a singular source, it doesn't really matter.

Necromancy is, as pointed out previously, magic regarding dealing with the dead. Whether as simple as asking a question with an Ouija board, or yes, summoning a fucking skeleton army or some shit.

We are dealing with its use in a fantasy setting. Fantasy, in other words, dealing with imagination. Imagination. Creativity. I do not give a flying fuck if the fantasy with which we are primarily concerned with at current took inspiration from history, or from some more modern interpretation. Because either way, that's all they are. Inspirations. Interpretations. Furthermore, historical precedents matter even less, given that they are limited by real world thinking, rather than imagination.

tl;dr The inspiration doesn't matter, what you do with it does. Quit complaining about how everything is D&D-Based and learn to enjoy things for what they are instead.
