Scenario 2 – What if Basic Income Goes Badly It is the year 2040. We are in the United States of America. In some periods in history the past is not discussed, and in this particular 2040 United States all people live in a shiny, wonderful present. Everyone is in total agreement the US is…

In response to the invitation posed on Reddit I formulate a typical illustrative four scenario matrix range. I also take in to account the speculative philosophical concepts of “Singularity”, “Transhumanism”, “Existential freedom”, and “Abolitionism” . Clearly the idea is growing – futurist Robert Theobald in Free Men and Free Markets back in the 1960s made…

The universe has become a tower and the tower mounted a lance of fire. Deep below the tower was a barely visible yellow dot with a half crown bright arc of silver. The dot was millions of kilometers distant, and the illusion is was below the tower was cultivated by the onset of deceleration of…

In this article I will be arguing why we can never willingly accept a partial die-off of the human species on the planet. I will argue we can’t even accept a transition to widespread disparity as a result of sharp decrease in available planetary resources. The point I will be making – any massive collapse…

My series 2113 is a speculative series of articles on a fictional timeline of the future set one century from now. This time portrays the future as it might be based on several premises. In 2010 there are many things wrong with the world, and we might experience major wars and crashes. Also, human rights…

There are two problems. First problem is there is an increasing number of rogue types and former military people fighting as mercenaries world wide. These people routinely engage in human rights violations. The second problem is closely related – that of people who are currently citizens of a EU member state and join in to…

Just a short while, a researcher by the name of Safa Motesharri came out with an article that got some support from NASA. NASA at least put some money in that study, and it caught on in the media that the story was an officially NASA sanctioned, supported or otherwise prominent study. It isn’t but…

Eylhrene is a ringed planet far far from Earth. The main orbits at high metallicity star slightly bigger than the sun at a mean distance of 190 million kilometers, but with a margin of fifteen million kilometers eccentricity. Eylhrene was impacted fairly recently in geological history by a lunar sized object, which resulted a 90…

Seconds To Minutes The Pacific Rim convulses.A spontaneous pandemic of hysteria and psychosis rips through the population like a psychic rupture — beginning along the faultlines of the Pacific Ocean. Empaths collapse, clawing their own chests. Children scream without knowing why. All across coastal regions, the mentally ill erupt into violence, their conditions grotesquely sharpened….

In the future there may be a few modest opportunities for personal benefit if you grasp them. So there might be a range of opportunities between now (2014) and 2025, and increasingly more probable somewhat beyond this time – when it comes to the field of life extension, or rejuvenation. Yes I full well acknowledge…

Link My reply: Irrelevant. Oil formed in specific periods in ancient history. It does not form appreciably today. In the distant past you had these inland seas that became anoxic. That caused lots of material to deposit at the bottoms of these inland seas. The rotting anoxic crap was captures by sedimentary accumulation. If that…

If by now you still think you are a temporarily inconvenienced m(b)illionaire, I’ve got a bridge to sell you. . It is very difficult these days to argue against the alleged merits of Capitalism. Even though “Capitalism” may be a very diffuse concept. You’ll find no coherent definition of “Capitalism”. The idea veers all the…

An RFID chip is a small electronic device that is implanted in a human body. Such a device is embedded to contain information. These chips are implanted to tell things about a human being, such as identity or contractual information – such as a money debit system. This signifies a risk, since it means the…

Human evolved from something else. The term human is linked to terms “humane” and “humanist”, and these terms imply benevolence and kindness. The suggestion being that alone among all animals and mammals humans have instincts towards charitable behavior. This isn’t strictly true – humans have a child-rearing instinct and that may in large part explain…

“Libertarianism” will be victorious … … only when it acknowledges the majority of human beings will be left unemployed by the advance of technology and automation. The simple fact is that unemployed people create a vast and irresistible demand for government. The government is actively pushing to make this unemployment irreversible – jobs lost now…

It is the year 2113. It is a very strange future, and one that has been shaped by the world we are already forming. 2113 is a the result of good 21st century where people didn’t die, and there was no major collapse or instability, and very few people died. There was no “great reset”…
