Presumably we will have a better grasp on the mass mechanism for neutrinos. That’ll be cool

Thanks for the thread @bamnan.

Must say I’m somewhat shocked at the paucity of ideas, and the sense that post-capitalist society will be something like Mad Max. Capitalism has only existed for a few hundred years and has narrowly avoided terminal failure more than once. The tendency of the rate of profit to fall is the fundamental flaw in capitalism and it will fail eventually. It’s just a matter of time. I am utterly perplexed as to why people find it easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism. There is more than enough on the planet to support us all. The problem is simply one of distribution.

All you have to do is watch Star Trek for a few ideas.

So:

  • No need to do bullshit jobs for fear of not having a roof over your head or food to eat
  • Freedom to exist in whatever way you wish, whether that be sitting on your sofa getting stoned and watching telly, making great art, or doing great science. It won’t matter, humanity will naturally have all the bases covered, they just haven’t had a chance to demonstrate they can do that yet.
  • No-one starving or dying of curable diseases or living a life of alienation because they don’t have access to an arbitrary means of exchange.
  • An end to the dog eat dog mentality of competition because there is no longer any need to compete when resources are superabundant.
  • Great banter

once we solve human conflict and resource distribution it’s going to be interesting to see how our ideas about “nature” change

Surely the only problem with conceiving of a superabundant future is the big old climate nightmare that’s currently bearing down upon us. Nature is less and less abundant and fruitful every year - can you be so sure that humanity manages to dodge that bullet and attain the utopia you suggest? I’m not an end of the world doom bastard, but I think there might be an end of capitalism scenario that results in a much reduced state rather than a beauteous one

would quite like to see whoever the future tony robinson is preset on whatever the future equivalent of television is a show about how capitalist-era man lived their lives buying fitbits and sporks and bitcoins in a vain, desperate attempt to starve off boredom and the inevitable depression that came with working for corporations that sold fitbits and sporks and bitcoins
