These exist.

Cancer isn't one disease, there is no one cure.

That's a matter of engineering, not science.

We found it but are making money off chemo

Engineers fault. Not science.

Engineering problem, no fault to science.

But we have holograms, flying cars, and hoverboards and have had them for years. They're just impractical or only have extremely limited uses. Our technology is far superior to many past predictions of where we would be at this point, particularly in computer and materials engineering.

Whats wrong with VR and hololens?
>flying cars
No need for flying terrorist anon, also they exist, also they require pilot's licenses
Also, flight for individuals consumes more energy than wheels hitting dirt.

>brain implants
exist


>hoverboards
impractical and averse to rough surfaces in any implementation-whether air powered or magnetic; we have those little scooter things anyway
>bionic limbs
trolling
>cure for cancer
this is actually a valid point, but oncology is improving and the cure for cancer pretty much guarantees biological immortality

Cool paper, but no application will exist for a very long time. It's one thing to identify a mechanism, but a very different thing to actually transform it into a preventative medication.

Yes, I agree. I just wanted to make the point that these things not existing (even if they do) have nothing to do with science.

Not everyone follows the same paths and commits themselves at a young age to being a pedantic and obedient point grinding autist for four more years of pop science. And maybe... just maybe you'll get that 500 dollars scholarship and a consolation prize for not getting first place, if you satisfy all the paperwork and strict conditions that can see your funds revoked.

Fuck that. I'd rather work and sell drugs. There's no better success story than one where a person fails miserably teetering on the brink of suicide, has to climb back up to zero and go from there.
