Futurism

A place to discuss the ideas, developments, and technology that can and will shape the future of civilization.

Tenets:

(1) Concepts are often better treated in isolation -- eg: "what if energy became near zero cost?"
(2) Consider the law of unintended consequences -- eg: "if this happens, then these other systems fail"
(3) Pseudoscience and speculative physics are not welcome. Keep it grounded in reality.
(4) We are here to explore the parameter spaces of the future -- these includes political system changes that advances may trigger. Keep political discussions abstract and not about current affairs.
(5) No pumping of vapourware -- eg: battery tech announcements.

You're Elon-rich, but not Elon-crazy, what future tech do you invest in? (self.futurism)

I would really like to get this app I’ve been dreaming about for years off the ground. It brings together fans of “Sandstorm” by Darude by issuing successively longer and louder clips of the song as you get closer to other app users. Within close enough proximity the whole song plays on a loop and the screen and camera flash goes off to the song on all phones and a dance party starts.

It’s also installed on every phone on every OS and default active at all times…which is maybe Elon crazy but definitely Grimes-fun.
