Yes, I plan on it.

heh, that's actually what i am living/working for

>>8051414
No, I'de rather have my brain archived or something or sustained in a virtual world.

Dont have the money for that shit. Im not a baseball player.

THE SINGULARITY IS COMING

Only if it places me in a time in which I have an overwheming advantage over everything.

If not then no.

>>8051478

What does that even mean, an overwhelming advantage over everything?

How much does this cost? Im sure I need a million dollars. Even though that's overpriced just to keep me refrigerated.

>>8051414
Have you ever left some meat in the freezer for a few months, and then you thaw it out and it's all tough and crappy tasting? That'll be your brain if you go through with it. You'll be preserved up unto the point where they thaw you out, and then all your squishy bits turn to mush.

>>8051567
Idiot, you think they would freeze you directly? They first drain out the liquids in your body, which is mostly water so that it won't be crappy like that. They substitute it with another liquid that will not expand when frozen, so that your body would be preserved.

protip; they are already dead, they are hoping that by preserving their body that science can one day bring them back. more likely the business goes bust and they die, get lost, anyway.

>implying you wouldn't still be basement-dwelling neckbeards after you were unfrozen

I read about the freaky shit that that company Alcor did in their facilities. No fucking thanks, man.

>>8051414

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frozen_Dead_Guy_Days

Was crowded this year.

nope. its just a joke in my opinion. a futile grasp at eternal life by those that fear death.

Protip: lrn2entropy. you simply can't live forever.

>>8051665

I fail to see how entropy could stop it. Or are you refering to the literal meaning of "forever"?

>>8051665
but life extension technology is not to be frowned upon. in the future, people will benefit from medical technologies we can only dream of, and why shouldn't we try to be part of this? you're not losing anything, except some money i guess you could donate to some BS charity or something, just by trying. it's like the lottery, sure, the chances of winning are slim, but there's no chance at all if you don't buy a ticket.

Are people against this beacause it costs a lot of money or because they don't want to wake up in the future?

>>8051887
i think it's the money thing. who wouldn't wake up in the future? WAY COOL, MAN!!

your cells burst when the water in the freezes so it wouldn't even work

cptbr cpovenoo ogtcqrcfcd m qg bqaf qa agt nzfax d

>>8052048

you didn't read the leaflet did you?

>>8052048

the technology to freeze exists. The technology to unfreeze and repair is basically what the frozen people are waiting on (as well as the cure to whatever disease was killing them).

I think being frozen like that would definitly kill you and I'm sure the technology to revive the dead will never exist. Looks like a scam to me.

>>8051634
what did they do???

if they design it so i can reach the end of my natural lifespan, then they unfreeze me and bring me back, i'd do it.

if i had to give up some time (ie get frozen while alive), no, it wouldn't be worth it for that crapshoot.

>>8052048
this is pivotal in how successful it will be.

anyone can take a garden-variety housefly and stick it in the freezer. they'll be suspended indefinetely. bring them out, blow on them, and they live normally.

if a company tries the same trick with humans, the cells are too big and, as mentioned, the body will turn to mush. however, if they ever invent 0-time instant-freezing, no 2-10 minute freezing procedure, they could be on to something.

>>8052228
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcor_Life_Extension_Foundation#Controversies

Wait for complete brain mapping and a medium for storage.

Flesh is history.

I would never do it, you would literally be Phillip j. Fry.

You could be frozen at the end of your lifetime a master of whatever your field of work is (granted fry wasn't) but when the unfreeze you in a thousand years you would be so far behind educationally that you would only qualify for manual labor.

I for one am not afraid of death. And would rather spend the money that would go into freezing my head on seeing the world or something tangible, rather than a off chance of successful cryo.

I can confirm that cryo is a dead-end. It's supplanted by coldsleep in '37, a sort of frigid hibernation in which your blood is replaced with a fluid that slows your metabolism so much that you can live off the oxygen and nutrients in the fluid for about ten years. After each ten year stretch they put in fresh blood, you jog a little, take a shit, shower, piss, basically to work the built-up cellular waste out of your system. Then they repeat the process and put you under again.

It's $10,000 (ten for ten) initially, but the price does come down over time and when enough automated labor compounds were built it became essentially free. If you lived frugally and didn't blow your entire dispensation every month, you could put aside enough to cover coldsleep in about 8 years.

>>8054096
Hey Future Guy!

Why do those people use coldsleep? Are they all waiting until the "aging problem" is solved? Waiting until their specific disease is cured? (although I believe you mentioned earlier that all diseases and cancers have been cured)

>>8054096
>Boring day in /r9k/
>See Futureguy
>HOT DOG!!!!
Where the hell have you been?

>>8054198
Seriously! I about squealed like a little girl!

>>8054096
I hope nothing bad has kept you from /r9k/ Futurebro.

>>8054230
>>8054198
dudes, he's from the future, he probably replied to this thread out of sequence, because last I heard, future bro wasn't doing to hot what with half his fucking face shot off

>>8054255
whoa whoa whoa. Is he ok? I didn't hear about that.

Do you have the thread saved?

>>8054279
no, i don't have it saved but something about a bubble popping and him going off to war and then him coming back and typing liek uhreeree cuz his fucking neural cortex is mush

>>8054308
Ohhh man. I believe their medical technology should be able to fix him up pretty good right?

do you people actually believe that freezing you in liquid nitrogen and draining all your blood wouldn't kill you? forever?


i thought this was the thinking man's /b/.

>>8054339
i dunno, but if you're reading this futureguy and you didn't go full retard...
WEAR A FACEPLATE
or someshit. wait, maybe I told you this and you DID wear a faceplate.

>>8054198

Medical plaza. Long story. I'm doin' pretty well though, all things considered.

>>8054188

Fear of death, I guess. Some people sincerely believe technology will make them immortal one day (lol singularians lol) but others just don't like the idea of having no control over death. At least this way it's something gentle, gradual and happens when they're ready. Plus, a slim chance at living forever sure beats none.

They don't even know how to unthaw the human Popsicles yet

>>8054339

I dunno what he's talking about, but I got fucked up pretty badly in the autolabor compound assault. Remnant squatters had holed up inside because they knew we wouldn't be permitted to damage the machinery. I was one of four hardsuit pilots on point, we drew all the fire on the way in and everything was going smoothly until explosive boobytraps dropped a couple tons of machinery on two of us, and partially crushed my suit's EESU, at which point it was not only dead weight but posed a serious risk to my life. I managed to crawl out before it melted through. We got most of them anyway, using bee drones with small explosive payloads but the rest of them managed to drive us to an exit. We did retreat, and they followed us out. That's when Iron Hill showed up, and turned everything around.

>>8054673

Man this sounds AWESOME.

Makes you realize why people want to live to see the future.

Why you think they're going to pull your sorry ass out of the freezer?

>>8054801

My back, shoulders and neck are badly burnt and I'm undergoing regenerative therapy for multiple gunshot wounds. Infected gunshout wounds. From crude ballistic rifles. Oh, and I'm waiting on a new goddamn lung.

I'm glad that entertains you.

>>8054349
Dude, we already know it won't work. Just read what Future Guy said. >>8054096

>>8054573
Interesting. They fear death, so they deny themselves the chance to live.

anyone hear about those immortal jellyfish?

i think that having constantly repairing cells would be better than being frozen for 600 years, thawed out and living for another 40 years then die in a car crash

>>8054934
Crude ballistic rifles?
So what is the standard if slug throwers are obsolete?

And is it like the scifi cliche wear weapons technology moves on so the countermeasures do to, leaving everything almost completely unprotected from older tech?

>>8054958

The last ten years of life aren't really quality ones. They're better spent dreaming in coldsleep for a century than pissing and shitting yourself while robots spoonfeed you applesauce. If you ask me, coldsleep is the graceful way to go. It makes the transition from life to death a smooth, gradual one. It's the abrupt and unexpected nature that people fear, I think.

>>8054673
>I was one of four hardsuit pilots on point
Is this a suit that enhances your physical abilities? Kind of like an exoskeleton? Or is it mechwarrior type machinery. (pic related, in-case you haven't heard of mechwarrior in the future.)

What is "Iron Hill"?

>>8055008

A mixture of LIPC, pulsed laser and reaction munition coil rifles.

I would do it, but when I was 96 or so. This way I could have friends and family. Then I get old and feel bad so I just freeze away and wake up feeling young. Then surgery to be young in form or whatever. Freeze my friends too, actually.

>>8055043
Is there any reason people are still using old fashioned ballistic weapons other than I assume they're a lot cheaper?

From the initial post I take it that they cause more trama, at least.

>>8055019

An exoskeleton, but it doesn't augment your strength. All of the additional power is used to negate the weight of the armor. So basically you can casually stroll along, encased in about 450 pounds of composite ceramic, reactive charge or EM deflection armor while feeling absolutely none of that weight. A modern hardsuit can shrug off a rocket to the face. Of course your ears will be ringing for hours afterward. The one thing they can't handle is falling from a great height, as your body absorbs most of that energy, and they'd have to clean your remains out of the interior with warm water and soap.

The nice thing about hardsuits in theory is that if you're rendered unconscious (or dead), the suit can walk you back to base. This prevents chridoms from getting their hands on hardsuits, and it ensures Unisec has a body to send home if you get killed.

FUTUREFAGGOT

TELL ME YOUR SECRETS

Does virtual reality ever get going? Anything like the novel Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson? You'd think with cold sleep they could find a way to wire that in, no?

>>8055198

I guess optics count as virtual reality. They range from cheapie disposables with terrible resolution and field of vision to high grade eyebands from Apple and Microsoft that offer UHD res and 120 degree fov. The last pair I had was from Microsoft and it was a clunky piece of shit but I never upgraded because I liked the weight and heft of it, I'm weird like that. The apple ones are coated with little cameras (like the ones in stickercams) on the outside and retinal laser projectors on the inside, so that the appropriate 3D feed reaches your eyes and the band is effectively invisible to you, like it's totally transparent. All you see is whatever apps you have to add AR info to your view, or whatever jackass cartoon characters want you to buy some shit. Lots of businesses transmit that kind of stuff to anyone's band that's in range, and it startles the fuck out of you because you don't recognize it as part of one of your apps and if it's subtle enough (a pretty girl approaching you or something) you might not realize it's an ad rather than reality for a couple seconds.

>>8055305

Oh so it's like augmented reality? That's pretty cool I guess.

>>8055117
If a hardsuit can walk you back to base, why not just operate them remotely? Wouldn't that be safer?

>>8055331

There's full on immersive optics for gaming too, where you can't see anything but ingame shit. But that's fallen out of use. A couple games still support it (mostly traditional shooters, driving/flight sims, etc) but for the most part gameapps used mixed display setups. You sit in front of the panel (the rollups can wrap around three walls, so it's as immersive as any pair of optics you can buy) which puts out nice high res 3D, and you wear an eyeband as well. The idea is, the game synchronizes the eyeband with the panel so that characters can seamlessly walk from the distance (as displayed on the panel) then out of the panel and into your room, right up to your face (at which point the parts that aren't displayed by the panel are filled in by the optics) with no apparent 'pop' where the transition from panel to optics occurs. Also you can grasp shit and it looks right, which it never did on older games, because if you held out your hand and you're holding a gun, your hand overlaps the handle because of course the panel is behind your hand, it just looked wrong and took away from the experience. The addition of synchronized optics allows the game to 'paint-in' the portions of the gun (or whatever you're holding) that should obstruct your view of your hand/arm in realtime.

>>8055422
So there's no system for feed pack, though?

Like you can't actually feel the gun in your hand

>>8055413

They do, on occasion. Outsiders make use of radio jamming but the hardsuit AI is bright enough to be useful anyway. It doesn't take a genius to provide cover fire.

The reason human pilots are involved at all is because law requires human beings ('field operators') to oversee all armed drones. It was a kneejerk reaction to the public's fear of 'killer robots'. We supervise, provide tactical direction, and we're occasionally prompted to authorize a kill when the robot can't tell if the target's a hostile or not.

>>8055439

You can actually, that's where the impressor comes in. Do you know what electroencephalography is? Pair that with targeted electromagnetic stimulation of specific areas of the brain and you've got an impressor. They're built into some o the clunkier optics, but if you're wearing a slimline pair (like eyebands) then it's a separate thingie you drape over your scalp, looks like a flexible web of soft plastic connecting cylindrical metal EEG nodes.

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT YEAR?

>>8055486
That lead to any problems with shit like 12 year olds being saltier than an SF operator with years of experience?

By the way, it costs $155,000 for the most expensive cryo plan.

Fuck yeah, I'm totally doing this when I'm ~50. So what are my time options for regeneration? 2150 or so would be nice.

>>8055459
What about having the hardsuits controlled remotely?
Use optics (that you talked about here >>8055305) so that the human being is safely operating the suit from a military base while still having total control over the suit? It would be like the person is actually inside of it.

That is what we do in our present time with UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles). Society views them as a safe technology. Much safer since there is no physical danger for the pilot.

I totally would.

Only if I'm guaranteed a robot pal like Bender when they unfreeze me.

>>8055500

Highspeed rail begins construction, more habs open up worldwide, Google pioneers automated energy production, teabaggers become increasingly violent in the run up to the foundation of the CNPA, and the 'nuclear backbone' plan I've told you about is approved.

>>8055534

I already told you, outsiders appear able to jam Unisec comms.

>>8055582
So what year does the war actually kick off?

Regardless of personal beliefs, I'm just looking to profiteer and it'd be nice to have a date to know to be ready for, even if it is made up.

>>8055623

Arguably this whole mess started in 2016. The Chridom civil war. It should have already begun in a sense, with teabaggers organizing violent rallies prior to the formation of the CNPA.

>>8055648
Well, I've already got connections I could call on for guns and drugs, intelligence is something I'll have to wait till the ball actually starts rolling to get.

Other than the golden three, are there going to be any other commodities I could make a quick buck on during this?

Also, what year were you born? Provided you aren't full of shit and I make a mint I'd like to buy you a drink at the very least.

>>8055734

Textbooks. A lot of fraudulent 'alternative' texts were produced as "supplemental study materials", and it's the legitimate ones that were singled out for burnings.

Also, I've mentioned the date, and if I told you my birthday you'd be able to work out my age. Hope you don't mind if I keep that to myself.

how big is your cock and what happens to australia?

>>8055863

>Gay question
>Australian

no surprise there

murder is going to start having so much more relevance when we can virtually live for indefinite periods of time

>>8055863

About 7 inches and the Australian government deals with Google to build experimental autolabor compounds in the outback to leverage unused natural resources and to demonstrate to the world that the technology and economic theory behind autolabor is workable. It's a success and before long Australia is flooding the international market with high quality goods that are priced so low as to undercut Chinese equivalents by a huge margin. Faced with economic recession and a currency rapidly declining in value, China issues a series of threats that go more or less ignored, before lining battleships up along Australia's northern coast. The UN defuses the situation by arranging for the construction of example autolabor facilities on Chinese soil and supplying the Chinese government with the information necessary to produce their own. China had already taken to hab living like bees to a hive, and autolabor was the last piece of the puzzle. China, Australia and the US were the first nations to automate industry and migrate into habs, and the rest of the world gradually followed suit as meaningful economic competition became impossible without severe trade restrictions.

>>8055938
fuck yeah shit happens

What are the prominent small arms firms of your time?

I it still HK, Sig, Colt, Diemco, Ishevsk, and IWI or are there new players?

>>8056193

I've heard of those! Some of 'em still make traditional ballistics for the collector's market. But most of the guns I use every day are made by Raytheon, Ionatron, AE and Vecna.

Date and year that aliens come to Earth?
When do we hear about the CNPA (just a date)?
In 2016 there is a Chridom Civil War.. What is the Chridom Civil War?

>>8056268
Seriously stop right now. He's already answered these questions.

But since I know Futureguy is into vidya; WHAT IS THE 3DS LIKE

OMG I HAVNT SEEN FUTURE BRO POST FOREVERRR
>also still waitin for pics futurebro

>>8056268
1. Hasn't happened yet.
2. 2015 or so, although you'll hear other ideas tossed around well before then as the hardline teabagger movement builds up steam.
3. The freshly formed CNPA fields Huckabee/Palin in 2016 and they're beaten by Maynard/Kucinich. The movement had placed all its hopes on electoral victory in 2016, and had been instructed to revolt in the event of a loss. They did, in every state, for a full ten months before the National Guard gained the upper hand and put an end to the 'war'. Only during the postwar cleanup was the full extent of the Chridoms' war crimes revealed.

For all of you behind on Future Guy's exploits.

You'll finally get a sense of what panels are like. Lenticular displays eventually give rise to microprism displays, where a tiny prism sits atop each pixel and directs a left and right eye view for between 18 and 96 angles so you can walk around the display and the perspective changes appropriately, not just for one viewer but for everyone in the room. It also allows several different people to watch different programs, as it could show different channels at different viewing angles and send the corresponding audio to their audio implant/earpiece.

What happens in Eastern Europe?

futurebro, obama hasnt been shot and that law to make clinton's kid pres hasnt even been heard of much less passed.

so, pretty soon, you will be 'alternate history dude'.

>>8056466
well, MyGirlfriends sound awsome, but seem about the same as modern-day sex dolls: over priced and make one seem creepy/ and are hard to hide.

>>8056461

Google, ABB, Kiva and Yaskawa were some of the companies most directly responsible for making autolabor technology a reality. Google's experience with renewable energy and the others' experience with robotics gave rise to showpieces like the Cornucopia, North America's first automated farm tower, or 'vertical farm'. Inside, agribots planted, cultivated and harvested crops without human involvement and machinery in the base of the tower cleaned, prepared and packaged that produce for immediate consumption. It was, according to the sensationalist press of the period, a "free food machine". Google's explanation as to why they chose a farm tower was that global hunger is an iconic "unsolvable", one of the issues that always gets brought up when world problems are discussed, and they felt that if they could build and demonstrate a workable solution to it, they wouldn't have to try to convince corporate parners to build them; instead, because of the revolutionary possibilities it created, the world 'beat a path to their door'. Everyone wanted to automate. Farms, hatcheries, manufacturing plants, mines, construction yards, you name it.

>>8056499
prob nothing as it sucks balls.

futurebro, did you ever talk to your wife about your work/her leaveing you? after we let you know about your future and the sad drunk you became because she left you, you said you would talk to her to ensure that doesnt happen.

i would be sad if you went through all that trouble, and let us know your future, just for you to fuck up again :(

don't they ex-sanguinate you?

>>8056549
so, if i was smart, i would invest a shit ton in google right now?

>>8056507

I already am, and it's distinctly possible that one or more of you is responsible for it. I was careful to ask that none of you contact any of the people I explicitly named as being pivotal historical figures but you fucking did, including my grandfather, Glenn Beck and Jim Maynard. Maynard dropped out of politics, my grandfather was apparently pretty spooked by the experience (as the fuckers who emailed him knew things about him that he hadn't told anyone but my dad and me) and the next time I posted one of you mentioned Becks' "plan", which read like something straight out of Voliva's Ambition.

It was naieve to expect that you'd just shoot the shit with me and have a good time without being tempted to manipulate the course of future events, but seriously? Giving pointers to one of the founding members of the CNPA? Are you people suicidal?

>>8056594
well, it appears you didnt LURK MOAR FAGGET before posting.

4chan tends to ruin things just for the sake of it.

also...your GRANDFATHER? since when did you give out your last name? i knew we got the faggot out of running (mabey stopping the civil war, thank you), but what was this about emailing beck? what did we give him?

>>8056594
I'm not, I'm just crazy.

EVERYTHING MUST BURN

>>8056499

The EDL and similiar hard right political groups band together to counter the increasing cultural and political influence of Islam, but their role is gradually usurped by secularists, including Pat Condell, Geert Wilders and other notables. They manage to muzzle the BNP/EDL thugs and manage the situation more even-handedly, though that's not saying much. There was an international outcry during their mass-exportation of Islamic clerics deemed anti-government radicals, and eventually the process was halted, but not before upwards of 80% of European muslims were ejected. The comparisons with Nazi Germany's persecution of the Jews made the plan politically volatile and it simply couldn't continue following the UN's near-unanimous condemnation. Nonetheless it's popularly thought that it was necessary to preserve secular governance in Europe.

>>8056613

I mentioned my grandfather's first name in one thread, his last name in another, and his profession in yet another. Some of you apparently played detective, narrowed it down to a few possible candidates and emailed them.

One of you also sent the timeline of the CNPA's formation and the following civil war to Beck. Someone else posed as one of his followers and pitched the idea of the CNPA and the redshirt youth to him as a way of taking the country back from 'liberals'. I don't know if he responded so I can't say how he took the news.

>>8056727
do you know if they were BSing?
anyone got screens?

also, person who is reading all /rs/ of futurebro threads. post his grandfathers name. i think i may be him.

If you are, make sure his name is something silly.

Perhaps a reference, Like Marty McFly, or just something lulzy Like Dicks McBlowjob

>>8056756
i need to find out if its me.

That's my plan. I'm going neurosuspension, of course.

Leading up to that is a lot of work. Ultimately, what we need is that one dude's sulphur dioxide stuff for a more gradual takedown, and a legal system that will let us neurosuspend while we're still in some kind of shape to do so. Waiting until you're room temperature and your blood hasn't been circulating for hours isn't a fantastic way to preserve neuronal structure. Ultimately, the best way to do the procedure is voluntarily, while you're still alive, so you can minimize the damage done before everything is nice and chill.

i know he's probably answered this, but does 4chan still exist in his time? if not, how long do we have left?

what does history say of 4chan, and anonymous?

>>8056937

4Chan is bought out by some media company and its userbase largely deserts it. That's as much as I recall, the last time I looked that up was literally several years ago. I do know that the imageboard format was aped alot after that and integrated with the big social networking sites.
