I got nothing.. except, while thinking about it.. i went "fuck.."

>sustainable nuclear power still a long way off

No it isn't it's right there god damn stop yelling

Oh wait it's not you yelling, it's the goddamn idiots afraid of the raydiayshun.

>no robots that can actually do anything useful Inb4 bomb disposal

What exactly do you think robots are?
They build nearly everything advanced nowadays.

>asian countries will surpass us within our lifetime.

You know, I don't support the concept of the technological singularity (transhumanism is an unrelated concept, you know), but I don't think it would care about nationality.

>no hoverjets

But there are personal ultralight helicopters if you have the money for them. Still not legal to fly around in urban areas however.

>no cure for Arthritis, Cancer, or even Hayfever

Cancer is a myriad of diseases.jpg
Allergies can be suppressed. "Curing" an allergy is illogical.

>no manned space missions anytime soon

The last space shuttle flight is in July, I believe.

>2011

Is not that far in "the future", despite what hollywood believed.

>no cure for Arthritis, Cancer, or even Hayfever
Science is not a box with a big flashing red button that says 'Dispense Cure Here'

>no manned space missions anytime soon
Blame politicians using NASA as a political football. WILLIAM PROXMIRE AND NIXON, I'M LOOKING AT YOU

What the bleeding fuck are you smoking? I, Robot is still 20 years away.

And? Learn Chinese/Japanese, move to said countries.

>humanity is still ununified and screaming head first into environmental suicide due to subservience to myopic institutions and authorities

We'll never get into space at this rate.

But what if intelligent species simply self-destruct at a certain stage?

What if that's us? What if we're looking species-death in the face right now?

>no cure for
Arthritis - hook worms
Cancer - we have a vaccine for cancers prevention > curing
Hayfever - hook worms

>no manned space missions anytime soon

why should we waste our resource son that?

Rest is true nonetheless.

We're not dead yet. And as soon as shit begins fucking up and people begin starving, there will be revolutions and changes.

>humanity still can't use words appropriately
>2011

i mean, ununified? what? It's 'divided'!

We don't need nuclear power we have perfectly viable green tech we just don't use it because it kills the profit motive. We do have jetpacks(Don't know exactly what you mean by hover jets) that work they are impractical so no one is improving them. It won't just be asian countries, Brazil is ahead of us in a lot of ways so are a lot of other countries out there.

I'm sorry. I don't know what I was thinking.

>no robots that can actually do anything usefu
Robots are good workforce in car/electronics manufacturing for years idiot

Oh wait you were thinking that robot must look like human or at least have some wheels didn't you?

>they actually believe the most cynical outcome is the most realistic outcome because they can claim anyone who disagrees is "AFRAID OF THE TROOF"
>hurr life is shit, humans are shit, im a middle class in a 1st world country who has more opportunities piled onto him than a shoe repairer who earns less than a dollar a day and shares a room in a shanty town with 12 other people in kolkata but I'm not going to do anything except feel sorry for myself
>durr the only solution I can come up with is inurdaes style "post-scarcity" "resource based economy" communist shit

>>3305003
you look sexy even with that expession

>hurr derp fucking pessimists
>durr herp fucking optimists
Such is life on /sci/.

Asian countries will not surpass any of the western worlds
And i'll tell you why, they have no creativity. The Chinese kill whatever innovation they have when they spend a year sixteen hours a day studying for that stupid test to get into college.
They are book smart but that's it. They are beyond ignorant.

>>3305003
That's just bullshit. There ARE plenty of threats to survival. It's not a matter of positive or negative outlook, it's a matter of the facts.
