You mean appetite suppressants? Yea, we have those.

so basically
>technology becomes god-tier
>environment gets destroyed and animals go extinct

>>2931786
no, if you read it it says "eat whatever you want, without getting fat"

>>2931786
>"A drug that lets you eat whatever you want without gaining weight is now available"

Oh cool, we're going to re-write conversation of energy.

that website is completely fucking retarded

>>2931805
No, it switches off fat-storing genes that helped out survival in the savannah.

>>2931817
You don't store fat because of fat storing genes...

>>2931825
Oh right, my mistake. It's magnets.

>>2931814
why?

>>2931838
I know what study you're talking about, and it's bullshit.

>>2931839
well i am not the person that posted that but predicting the future of technology has always been dumb. It is still fun as hell to do it anyway.

>>2931814
>>Makes a claim with no attempt to reason logically

Herp de derple derpkus doo

>>2931848
From my memory I remember about three studies. Though perhaps my memory is fuzzy and instead I'm thinking of a gene that keeps you lean in times of plenty.

moderately retarded, absolutely foolish.

>>2931903
i agree that most if not all of the stuff said about the 22nd century onwards is pure speculation, but some of the stuff said to happen in the near future (within 20 years or so) seems likely

People get fat because they consume more energy than the body uses. That's all. What are you retards arguing about?

>>2931805
Of course not, it's just going to fall straight down your throat and out your anus without touching the sides.

>>2931857
never mind, this is batshit retarded.

>floating cities

yeah no

>Asteroid Terrorism


Lolwhatthefuckamireading.jpg

>>2932085
Well, if space vehicles are relatively common, and powerful, it's not too much of a stretch to say that large asteroids could have their trajectory changed to destroy civilian or military settlements.

>>2932085

Mass effect DLC, bro. Just pack a few thrusters on an asteroid and push it into a planet.

>>2932112
It's even easier to attach a second, smaller pack of boosters, which will rotate the asteroid 180 degrees and turn off themselves.

Why the fuck is there going to be a food and water crisis? Technology will have risen to solve both of these problems in about twenty years. Hell, the standard household can have their own home garden with materials available and such. This is just an absurd notion that pisses me off.

I wonder By the time the Universe Ends Will we be able to find some way to get around that.

>Why the fuck is there going to be a food and water crisis? Technology will have risen to solve both of these problems in about twenty years
The same reason why there is still shitloads of AIDS and malaria in Africa, and millions of people in the US are uninsured medically and/or in poverty.
Shit isn't distributed according to need, but according to how much currency you have.

>>2932259
Don't gimmie that commie bullshit. I think I know exactly why...fuckin liberals are going to make it hard to grow your own shit at home. You're going to need license after license and inspection just to grow a fucking tomato on your front porch.

Most recent attempt:
Food Safety Modernization Act of 2009 (bill HR 875)

>>2932259
that comic is quite comical, love how the last one is a woman

>>2931920

fat isn't stored because of some physics law. its stored because it was a evolutionary adaptation for energy storage in case food supplies got low. by your logic every organism that doesn't use all their energy should get fat. why don't plants get fat, bacteria, ect. when they don't use all their energy they get. The answer is biological, not just a single physics statement.

Republicans: Will lie to you and steal your money
Democrats: Will lie to you and steal your money

I love how there are amazing advancements each year.

What have we done in the past decade? Shit.

>>2932288

Yep

>>2932316
Y'know an iPhone? In 2001 they would've resurrected the witchburning laws had you pulled that thing out.

>>2932352

>mfw when you quoted him exactly.

tripfag FEST in here

I'm lazy bastard.

Tell me what year they mention cure for aging?

>>2932259

>>2932359
Well shit.

>A global financial downturn emerged from 2007 - caused by the excesses of capitalism
Rejected.

It's obvious at this point the entire thing is just yet another hipster finger-pointing bitch-whine rather than some realistic scientific analysis of potential future technologies.

>>2932384
to be totally honest, if it appears, it will probably be extremely expensive only available to the very rich and powerful, distributing such a thing to people who reproduce to a extreme extent (Indians, chinese, religious people) we will be even more overpopulated then we currently are and the system will be stressed because it won't be able to change quick enough and poverty will exponentially increase

You know,

Ive been getting a lot of shit for being a trip fag.

Ill admit it, I think it defeats the spirit of 4chan if there are a lot of trip fags. With that said I still post anonymously about half the time.

But I really enjoy seeing familiar faces. So, I like some trip fags. I like trip fags in that I can see a familiar face. I dont like trip fags some trip fags though.

Future Timeline says 2065, but I am expecting it will be closer to the late 30's.

Lol @ the retard who said nothing had been done in the last decade.

lol mfw, while real economics would tell you that as civilization and income increases so does the number of children being reared.

"The Perplexing Income-Fertility Relationship"

In a highly developed economy, overpopulation wouldn't and shouldn't be a problem.

Forgot to post mfw. >>2932465

DEBATABLE.

>implying pharmaceutical companies havent already been able to pull off massive mark ups on drugs.

If they could make more money by making it affordable, they would also be making current medications affordable, and they arent.

But who knows.

They cite kaku as a source.

bullshit as fuck.
