The year 3007. Post your thoughts!

What will the year 3007 be like? Please post your ideas here. Heres mine.



First of all I think language is important. I think that we will have a universal language in which all countries can understand. This language will be a form of sign language much more detailed and complicated than todays sign language. I think that we will be able to compile and sign a full sentence in just a few signs. I think our brains will have 'evolved' enough to be able to read such detail.

On the other hand, I thought about communication to people who physically cannot see you. So we may be able to speak/read/ right in a code, IE, binary code.



My second thought is awful. There will be no males! This is because genetic engineering will have come on so much that a female embryo will not need to be fertilized to produce a baby (female). Therefor, the male population will die out.

If this is not the case, the traditional way of conceiving a child may not be contempary and be seen as taboo. Like i said before, genetic engineering will have gone wild as you could modify the XX chromosomes to create an XY for males. Furthermore, our penis will not be needed, therefor our balls will shrivel up and disappear. Then we would have no testosterone which makes males male. So we would be some kind of genetic malfunction and we could end up being females. Yet again, the male population would die out.





In the year 3007 I think we will have made contact with an intelligent alien race or at least found premative forms of life on another planet. I don't think space is as populated as some people think. I don't think we will have developed light speed space travel as Einstein theory suggests that the faster we get to the speed of light it becomes even more harder to accelerate.



I also think that the world will be a cleaner and safer place. Cars run on tiny fusion cores. The thought of having flying cars sounds cool, but its too unrealistic for 3007. I think there will be multiple story roads pilled on top of each other to handle the congestion.



I think there is going to be world peace, everyone has equal rights, no one is poor, no one is in poverty, no one wants to fight because we all have the equal ammount of renewable resources.



I've got so many more realistic ideas but I cant babble on any further. I want to hear your ideas. I'm more of an optimist, i think everything will be great in the future and it will be a wonderful place to live. Are you a pessimist or an optimist?

 

If earth is still here and not exploded from a nuclear war, or a meteor, or an attack from aliens then we will probably be in a one world government with a dictator and chips implanted in us to buy sell and trade. The government will be giving out drugs that make everyone think they are in some kind of utopia because the authorities will kill those who resist. And they will choose peoples jobs and who they can marry for maximum breeding benefits (intelligence and strength). So anyway, there’s my thoughts, hope I am wrong, but I am glad my life is now.
:behead:

 

no cars. no guns. very small human population. world government, but mostly out of sight and out of mind. national soverignty severly limited though, also mostly out of sight and out of mind. idiology forgotten or local option. economics likewise. religeon will finally evolve in ways currently unimaginable, unrecognizable, and for the better. lots of clean tecnology. environmental carelessness might carry the death penalty though, if and because that may be what it will take for humanity to survive. probably NOT that extreme, but no one will be taking it for granted.

off earth development well under way. alien contact uncertain but probable.

long term optomist, short term relative pessimist. we may have to go through hell to get our heads out of our assess, and as a resault of our current refusal to do so.

on the other hand, that CAN chainge too!

the long term though, for those who survive the short term, will be very bright indeed.

there is still an 'if' though. and its more about environment then conflict. or more likely to be i should say. or rather the if of environment is a certainty, the if of conflict a real maybe, but still a maybe.

by 3007 ALL of that will be soooo completely long forgotten though. everything that happens in the next 40 to 100 years, and certainly most of what has happened for the last 2 or 3 hundred.

I think that by 3007 global warming will have made the earth a very stark place. Many species will be extinct including humans probably. Perhaps there will be a lot of rodents and cockroach like insects. It will be tropical and humid and oppressive and the air will be barely breathable.
I know it's bleak but I really think we've already gone too far.

 

well if it does, and yes that's the direction we're heading as long as thinking in terms of little green pieces of paper keeps us burning things to make energy and propel transportation and not take effective measures to reduce birthrates, but then i think, the creatures that evolve in that environment, if life still can, then eventually, given another 30,000 years, or a few million, then eventually those rodents and whatever, someone will again evolve brains and creativity.

or poets from alien worlds will visit what remains of our dead one and write depressing ballads speculating about the final events of our last days.

but i really have a lot of hope that it doesn't HAVE to happen that way. things can and do chainge. the intractable factors that seem to have us locked into the self destructive path we are togather currently on, are no more immune to entropy then all the good things they are currently threatining and destroying.

In the year 3007, Britain will be non existent. We would all be living on the side of cliffs in nests and we will return to the hunter gatherer mode. But the human species will be devided in two. One above and one below. It is my estimation that mice and rats will survive and be crossbred with humans through science. Affectively we create a hybrid or a human who was conceived by a rodent.

 

The human race will be much smaller.

 

and they won't be in such a big hurry either.

Heh, i love you Jon!

 

not exactly hunter and gatherer mode at all. though no oil and coal certainly. but we will be using what tecnology we have to live a lot closer to and in a lot closer harmony with, nature.

of course there won't be a great britten or a u.s., or any other currently existing nation or idiology. all that will be esoteric trivia for historians of absolutely zero impact on anyone's daily lives.

we MAY have gotten the recombinent dna thing down to where we might could be real fury's, but otherwise even a thousand years is too short a time fraime for evolution alone to be likely to chainge our appearance signifigantly.

we won't, if we're still arround, become any less likely to enjoy creating creative tools to create with, we just might though have been forced by nature, that or having wised up sufficiently, to exercise greater wisdom and consideration for our surroundings and our dependence on them in doing so.

i don't see a world without tecnology, but a world without being careless with it, and of course without reliance of careless kinds of it. which means among other things, not using burning anything to generate energy or propel transportation.

there will still be refrigerators and all sorts of electronics and even some, perhapse many, forms of mechanical transportation. but not cars or credit cards or television.

and there might not be borders or building codes either. nor more fences then there need to be, and those very few.

if we were really smart, we'd be headed in that direction now, instead of what we've been doing.

i dont wanna be cynical or negative, but i seriously doubt the human race will still exist in 1000 years.

 

we have several choices. that IS one of the options.

we do, or may, still have a couple of others.

honestly i think the world will have come to and end by then. look how fucked up the world is becoming now and the people in it. i think we're all going to die out within the next few hundred years. not to sound pessimistic or anything, but really think about it.

 

oh i think there's going to be a big population implosion at some point, and not do to war but what we're idioticly and unneccessarily doing to the only environment we've got that makes our own existence possible.

but i also think, once that's happened and in the past, and there's a real good chance an entirely sufficient number of humans (along with an essential diversity of nonhuman wild creatures) will survive it, then i think things can and will get pretty darn good.

and of course we could stop doing the stupid things we're doing now.
i mean it won't happen by expecting people to give up everything out of some sort of sense of noble sacrifice or anything like that.

the point that keeps being missed, and vested intrests WANT us to keep missing, cause there getting fat off our ignorance of it, is that the kind of policy chainges that could and need to be made (in order to avoid most if not all of the unpleasantness between now and then), don't require giving up anything other then a few of the most nongratifying ways of doing things that we only keep doing that way because it is what people have been manipulated into becoming most familiar with.

and of course the biggies of those totally nongratifying nonneccesities include the use of combustion to generate energy and propel transportation and an excessively increasing already excessively out of balance human population.

all we really need to do, is lower human birthrates accross the board without bias or exception and use other means then those which involve burning anything to generate energy and propel transportation.

those are the biggies. overharvesting of forrest resources and human encroachment is a problem too, but these are directly tied to out of control human population growth. so for that matter are all of them, as big a problem as they are, precisely because of there being so many of us for them to be done by and for.

what i won't dispute, of course, is that the biggest threat to our future, IS us.

It's interesting to think of the many possibilities. Have any of you ever seen the movie War of the Worlds? That movie isn't entirely fiction. Imagine if something like that were to happen. Think about it. The universe is endless as far as we know. There are many dimentions and other planets that we don't even know about. Out of the entire universe, do you really think Earth is the only planet with life on it? Whatever other life out there could be planning the fall of our planet as we speak, and could be planning on making all of us...well, there are many possibilities there.

 

i think the earth is stronger then you think and that the global warming will cool down naturally.

 

the probability of other sentient life, possibly as close as a few tens of light years: extremely high. the probability of an signifigant portion of premeditatedly inimical to our own, along with willing and able to do anything about it: exceedingly low!

the probability of our being on diplomatic terms with other worlds by 3007, enterly reasonable. the probability of it being a major influence on how we live, those of us who are here then, not very high either.

no more so then the presence in every country of diplomats from nearly every country now.

yes, TODAY'S dominant culture has a lot of karma to be paranoid about how it used its tecnology to commit genocide on indiginous cultures in the western hemispher a few centuries ago, and in many cultural ways continuing to.

but when people assume the rest of the universe HAS to be even less well behaived then we ourselves have been, that's just making subconscous excuses for our own inequitous past.

far more likely, as new kids on the block, we'll run into some kind of galactic united nations that's been there a lot longer then we have, and have to learn how to behaive ourselves 'out there'.

diversity doesn't equal bad. diversity equals good, bad and a whole lot more of everything inbetween. and that's mostly to the good. if anything, it is always the adamant fanatical repression of diversity that is the root and dawning place of suffering.

we WILL have to have gotten over freeking out over it. but i have complete confidence we will have by then.

another extremely low probability is that people from any one world, being able to breath the atmosphere of any other world. or at least not safely for any length of time, without some pretty fancy filtering and suplimenting aparatus. anyone from one world, on the surface of another, is more likely to have to wear some sort of equivelant of aqualungs at the very least, if not some sort of environment suit as well.

and of course if we are, again as seems like, though in much smaller numbers, still here, we will have had to have long since stoped contributing to the triggering of 'global warming phenominon'. i think it will go on for a pace once we have. we may even find ourselves having to do something to reverse it long before then in order to be. we don't know if our triggering of it has gone that far. it is indeed the biggest long term threat to our own species. far more so then anything else we might mutually or collectively do to ourselves and our planet.

but that is an issue that will be resolved one way or another in no more then a few centuries. indeed, where we are here in 3007 depends on our doing so as imediately as possible. but assuming we can and do, then that will be a lesson learned and far behind us by then.

as will so many of the wrongs our currently dominant culture takes for granted as rights.

3007 will be a green world with humans, a green world without humans, or a baren world without humans. a baren world with humans anywhere near it is the one thing it won't and can't be.

nor humans without a diverse and thriving ecosystem.

The world in 3007 C.E.??? The same human nature that the Sumerians document in their writings five thousand years ago is still pretty much the human nature we have today. And the same holds true of technologies--other than evolving variations on a theme, there's not much new. E.g., soldiers still use sharp pointy objects to kill other soldiers--just more efficiently; oral communication is still the same except electronically enhanced and written communications, likewise. So, I don't think human nature will change much and I think that technologies will simply evolve in complexity to facilitate the expression of our underlying human nature--unless there is a speciation event. And as for that, a basic truth is that until the human species starts to speciate, it's going to remain pretty much the same species it finally became at the end of it's last evolutionary spurt eons ago. And I guess the only real question is whether the human species will use its mastery over biology to cause human beings to speciate so that there are two or more species of humans by 3007. I personally think that will happen. And I personally think that if it happens, the new species of human (i.e., a new human nature) will reach ascendancy within a very short period of time because its creators will not have created it to be "stupid" and it will have advanced technology to aid it unlike the very lengthy co-existence of the last two human species, Neanderthals and Sapiens. Of course, this new species' creators could create it so its nature was nurturing and helpful and loving and kind and strong and very very smart, and then it would take care of all of us like a nice sweet nanny and not let us hurt ourselves--sort of like the gods on Olympus except nicer.

 

Earth will be in a community, composed of several other colonized planets within the solar system.

Travel to nearby stars is a reality, but still takes a long time. Colonies in other star systems are common. Mostly made possible by "alien " technology, gleaned from the encounters with other civilizations and their native elements.

You can live to be 200 years old if you want. While you can perpetuate the body, the mind often grows tired and wants release before then.

Teaching will be done electronically through direct mental transfer, bypassing whatever shortcomings the student may have in learning. There will be no more grade systems.

Technology will whizz by, leaving it's human creators in awe. But it will do nothing to advance them spiritually. They still have to do that by themselves. And even in a 1000 years, the human condition will still be a major problem.
