CDZ Five Top Tech Challenges for Nations over the next 50 years

[DOTR]

Yang is the only candidate who sees what's happening and what's coming.

Uh oh...another non-crazy candidate from mac. This one wants to give away money. Not his of course! Perish the thought! He is so kind hearted he wants to give away other peoples money! Like a kindly old uncle...who mugs people on the subway and gives you their wallets.


Sheesh even parents, who love and live for their children, know that handing out money is damaging (not to mention unsustainable)

I don't expect you to honestly examine his reasoning.

I can't make you curious.
.

When a candidate for office offers to pay people to vote for him..you should get real curious.

If that's your perception of what he's doing, great. You're voting for Trump anyway.

Our predominate concept of fiduciary responsibility needs to change from merely making profit to also include reputation and a moral framework that makes it a better player in the national community.

...and if we don't start heading down that road, those who are pushing for socialism will be thankful for the assist.
.

So, are you guys in favor of the digital social credit program he's proposing?

Haven't looked at it. Not a top priority at the moment.

China has started ranking citizens with a creepy 'social credit' system — here's what you can do wrong, and the embarrassing, demeaning ways they can punish you

Hes handing out free money! What else do you need to know?

Nothing. You're right. Don't vote for him.

I dont hear too many people running for President talking about these things, other than Yang, and this concerns me.

1) Miniaturization technology combined with DNA editing becoming ubiquitous will allow for massive destruction of human life by virtually anyone that has the resources and will to do it. We have to find ways to peacefully integrate all ethnicity's, religions and ideologies so that they will resolve differences peacefully instead of going to suicide bomber mode. How do we do this?

2) Space mining is going to be the New World of the mid 21st century, and that is not scifi folks. The immense wealth in Near Earth Asteroids is in the thousands of trillions of dollars and that is less than 10% of the total asteroid mass in our solar system. 16 Psyche is just mind bogglingly loaded. We need to try to iron out rules and appeals, etc to avoid conflict triggering events and not tank our commodities market.

3) Strong AI and the Singularity is definitely coming people. Strap in and hold on to your ass cause its going to be a thrill a minute.

4) Androids will be ubiquitous by 2050. Everyone will own at least two. How will that change our culture, our economy? Our family structures? Where will the government get revenue from with almost $0 from individuals tax funds?

5) I think the odds are very high that we will openly encounter extra terrestrial intelligence. How will this affect our religions, our self image and our sense of security?

I wish I could do this without politics. Because we do have very real technological challenges. But before any of that can happen...or toobfreak many good ideas...society has to be rebuilt and the destruction of the last few decades undone not to mention the chaos that easy money has caused.

For instance power and clean water and sewage. Our forefathers could do it..and they didnt need to wait on the DC gods to bless them with permission.

The solution to most of my 5 key points is OVERPOPULATION. If we could only get population in the USA back to 200 million and the rest of the world accordingly, that would go a very long way to solving everything, every problem we have. So really, our technical challenges can be reduced to one: ending the growth of more population than we can really support. I've been telling people that for nearly 45 years but no one wants to be the first to be denied offspring.

The chinese were the first to be denied offspring.

I want two; one outdoor android to do my lawn work and another interior android to clean the house and provide medical assistance like a live in nurse. And maybe a third to help me find my car keys.

We all say that now. Years ago I turned down two jobs, one for Siemens and the other for CMU that both dealt with developing robotics and computer intelligence. Just wait till the day your android mowing your lawn looks back at you and intelligently understands you and can reason and plan on his own forming independent thought. Soon after, they will be deemed intelligent with feelings and self-awareness and be given rights. Sleep well my friend as that android you just pissed off denying him a wish or need sits in your living-room as you sleep.

I find it revealing, and disturbing. I definitely don't want government micromanaging society in that way.

I think Yang would like to do a cell phone voting system...what could go wrong?

I will put a governor chip in so he cant get too smart.

Why not solve the Earths over population problems with immigration to O'Niell colonies in space?

 

[JimBowie1958]

Hes handing out free money! What else do you need to know?

I think Yang is a little ahead of his time, but eventually we will probably have to do a UBI as Androids become ubiquitous and we have massive unemployment resulting from it.

But I will give him points for thinking about a com,ing problem BEFORE it is here, something Washington has severe allergic reactions to; forethought.

Im willing to revisit this *after* androids become ubiquitous.

That is the problem with disruptive technology, after it becomes an obvious problem, the solutions are a million times more difficult and expensive.

4) No, I don't think so, not by 2050. It's like when we expected lunar bases by 2000.

These warnings come from billionaire democrats. I just dont believe them.

If number five happens just know that will not end well seeing our Humanity has yet to learn to play nice with each other...

Remember if that Alien race reached us mean their technology is advanced and we would be wise to turn our lights off and pretend not to be home and hope they go on by...
