      *takes deep breath* i am exhausted by our failure of imagination. at least give me flash mobs on demand. give me city-wide AR games and houses that grow — literally. because genomics. take me to that goth rave where neo met trinity, and HELLO: where the hell has laser tag gone?

      where is medical tourism? why aren’t we building countries on that giant trash continent in the middle of the ocean? and shouldn’t we be strip mining mercury to build a dyson swarm capable of harnessing large fractions of the sun’s total energy by now?

      boomers “were promised flying cars,” but i was supposed to be riding to work on a chocobo by now, and sure, colonizing mars would be great (if anyone were actually working on it). but are we really not doing *anything* with antarctica? ever?

      i’m done with the “should we replace private healthcare” debate. what we should be replacing is the human body. it sucks. let me regenerate my limbs like a lizard already, and if i want giant bird wings that’s my prerogative. bioluminescent eyes that glow purple? take. my. money.

      “free college for everyone” is a scam. kids go to college to 1) get drunk, and 2) have sex. technology can improve both of these things for a fraction of the cost. but while we’re on the topic of actual education: if it isn’t an adaptive learning AI gtfo of my timeline.

          i shouldn’t have to drop the mic. there should be a global network of displays and feeds that free us from portable hardware by now. and if we ever decide to learn something about the human mind we might even have a shot at interfacing with machines directly.

          i want to live forever. i want you to live forever. i want us all to be taking seriously the goal of living forever. but for god’s sake, what is any of it worth without vision? life doesn’t have to be an endless social media misery parade. we have to start dreaming again.

          My main man, I literally tweet AI and ML at @tinder all the time to get them and they won't listen. I think it is both: 1. a really hard problem. 2. one where we don't have engineers for.
