oh wow

i love you op. This shit has a way of working itself out though....at least i hope anyway

>>>/g/10632887

fuck off

Let us start a revolution

I want blimps to be a common transportation alternative.

If you want something interesting, go build it. I'll come join in once I get my degree.

Make a science based enclave someplace and promote unrestricted scientific research. A science city.

>>993593
tl'dr: your childhood died

Wouldnt it be awesome if anon changed the world in a greater way than chanology.

>>993593
I find it worse that we allow companies to disguise themselves as states.

>>993622
Actually, there are some companies working on developing airships for large scale transportation.

I agree, if the worlds power comanies stopped caring only about money and competition and worked together, we could have fusion power sorted in 5-10 years.

>>993593

Op this is what the '60s think of the '80 and what the '50s think of the '70s and so on and so forth.

If you dream of the merely impossible you shouldn't be amazed it will never realize especially if it is swimming against current.

>>993644

OP's given me depressing thoughts :( I'm going to increase my drinking rate and think of a solution.

>your car can't fly

Wrong, flying street legal cars already exist and are being manufactured and the expected release date is 2011. The Personal Air and Land Vehicle(pictured) has already passed certification and safety tests in Europe. In the US the Terrafugia looks pretty promising and costs about as much as a luxury sports car.

And wow what a shock, money makes the world go round.

>>993593

We need war.

Without war we will continue to focus our intelligence in creating useless commercial products. With war and competition between nations, the scientists will once again turn to what really matters.

>>993731
War usually is just an extra funding into research for e-penis.

>>993731
You can replace "war" with any other goal. It's a lack of focus and purpose that is stifling scientific advancement. That and self centered greed for the detriment of everybody else.

>>993731
We have war with Iran.
And
PROTIP : No one wants to go to war with everyone with nukes out of their asses.

War technology has basically reached an end.

>>993731

Not to mention that we need more unethical people. The Nazis had great ideas about creating the Aryan nation, if they had today's technology they would have created armies of demigods, they didn't had any problem on making wild and unethical experiments in humans (lol jews)

>>993695
>imply human race isn't stupid
>point out paragraph is riddled with grammatical errors

>>993731
We might destroy ourselves. Then we can't venture to the star ;_;

>>993742

I don't think so, survival is the best motivation of every area. Lazy bums will work hard when they have to survive, and Cold Wars will make countries worry so much about their survival that they will focus on making ground breaking discoveries.

>>993746
>>993731

>>993593

>Our dreams have died, and we have stagnated into mindless collectors of useless shit that's thesame thing as we had in the 1980s with bigger numbers and prettier cases.

And then the 90's/early 200's came and with it a shitstorm of technological advances.

So let's wait til 2020-2030 before bitching, m'kay?

>>993756
it's extremely difficult to kill all 7 billions or somewhat people on earth.
there's a infogram somewhere where the required nukes to kill every single person on earth are calculated.
We don't even have enough to kill 3%

>>993771
Enjoyable book.

>>993731

Don't worry, the sandniggers will force us into something major soon enough.
That'll be one major religion down, at least.

>>993773
But... but all those nukes could be used to make spaceships.
Or provide energy for the masses.

>>993773

This. People drastically overestimate the cost (in terms of casualties/damage) of nuclear war.

>>993790

Would you sacrifice yourself in order to make humanity more technologically advanced?

>>993794

fuck no, but I'd be willing to sacrifice the populations of most major cities.

>>993794
Reminds me of the 0,7% in the TV show heroes.
We have to sacrifice for the greater good.
And that sacrifice won't even be that big.
We do not have enough nuclear material.
Even if we WANTED, we would not be able to kill ourselves.

Just going to say "The Internet." Honestly think back to the 60's no one could have predicted what the internet would become in 50 years. Think about the 90's. We can now get access to the internet anywhere we want all around the world from mobile phones. The internet is one of man's greatest inventions and despite the outside world being "dull and bleak" on the internet, life is A-O.K.

>>993593

With the advancements in cloning alone we could live like 500 years, and if food is a problem we could just clone food. If the space we take is a problem we could always build huge sky scrappers. And with the increase of human population, the number of brilliant minds would increase, therefore we could live in space in no time.

But stupid people won't let us because we're playing God and we're evil because we want more.

Now think about the advancements that could be done in nanotechnology and other areas and imagine how far we could go in little time

>>993790
It's not the direct impact of nuclear weapons that's so bad, it's the indirect impact of destroying infrastructure and making places potentially inhabitable.

Also geoengineering will become common as climate change progresses, it would be very unlikely that geoengineering wouldn't have military uses. Why invade a country when you are destroy their climate?

>>993810

>when you are destroy their climate?

I am destroy their climate?

>>993805

Problem with that graph is that most of the world's population is in cities. If you were to nuke the big cities half of humanity would be probably be wiped out and we'd probably have nukes left.

>>993813
>approx 100 warheads

um...

>>993810

Even the impact zone isn't 'that' large. I mean it would take a fuckton of nukes to make whole countries uninhabitable.

>>993819

He obviously mean >"when you are going to", learn to comprehend. Someone can make a typo or mistake, you know.

>>993820

nothing is ever gonna happen.

>>993637
Chanology did not change the world.

>>993842

a girl can dream, can't she?

I weep for my children future.

>>993849
Based on your grammar, they will need more than your tears.

>>993805
>Implying you need to "completely" destroy a city to kill all their inhabitants

>>993853

Even though I prefer correct grammar and punctuation, I'm not being a prick unlike you who feels the need to insult everyone who makes a spelling error.

>>993826
You could use conventional smart bombs to destroy most infrastructure hubs around the world, no problem. Even just destroying some electricity hubs would be enough to throw most countries back to the stone age. Add to that the possibility of escalating to nuclear war and the whole world dies.

>>993805

This >>993859

A single nuclear explosion in a large city will genetically mutate thousands upon thousands of people for decades to come.

>>993859

ah... i can't even be bothered

>>993862

We could always use Neutron Bombs

>>993863

Example: Hiroshima Japan

>>993862

>whole world dies.

hurr

>>993862
Someone please do this

>Fucking everybody's getting converted into a fucking hipster downloading alternative indie rock on their Macbooks in Starbucks via iTunes.
The population is getting gradually more stupid and we're wasting our last essential resources for microchip-production on Mac parts and Fermi flamethrowers.

>downloading alternative indie rock on their Macbooks in Starbucks via iTunes.

YOU CAN ACTUALLY DO THAT?!

>>993593

>Star trek didn't happen.

Who would've guessed?

>>993871

>90,000 people die
ZXOMG HOLY SHIT HOLE CITY DIES BRO

>More casualties in Tokyo and dozens of other cities (counting each death toll seperately) from regular bombings

>>993593
>The population is getting gradually more stupid
[citation needed]

There have been great medical advancements; using robots for surgery. Military robots and drones too.

And many cool things do exist, but they're too expensive for personal use. And don't forget the enormous computing power we have now.

>we do not entertain ourselves in immersive virtual reality.
well, we do have MMOs

>implying that small number matters when 300.000 people die everyday because of cancer and we have 7 billion people on earth

>>993808
>But stupid people won't let us because we're playing God and we're evil because we want more.

You know, that argument always bothered me. If such a God truly did not want us doing these things, then we wouldn't be allowed to do it. Who the fuck is some uneducated twat to speak in the place of God and say that humans shouldn't be allowed to reap the benefits of their own hard work? Fuck that shit

>>993891
"part of your comment is not allowed to be posted =("

i cant fucking write H1r0sh1ma

>>993773
This here was a retarded comment. Just India's nukes would be enough to start a nuclear winter, thus ending any photosynthesis related life. Let's see you eat sand after the last plants and animals have died.

>>993874
US military is training, remember those last "wars", yeah, they all started with destroying the infrastructure and watching civilians die.

I'm betting these same Nuclear War alarmists were the same cats going ape shit saying the Iceland Volcano was the fucking end of the world because it too would 'alter the environment'.

Newsflash fuckwits. The environment isn't as fragile as you god damn hippies make it out to be.

>>993924
I want to hug you and never let you go

fucking thumb-saver

/sci/ do you guys think revolution in a highly industrialized nation is possible? I mean, back in the day, revolutions were happening all the time. But now I feel like a revolution in, say, the US would be near impossible.

>>993924
It's not the environment that might disappear, it's the humans that might disappear with even small environmental changes. (small as compared to the history of life on earth)

>>993953
>revolution
>in US

I'm sorry, but I find it hard to imagine a mob of obese people carrying iPod in their pocket doing that. Asianfag here.

>>993593
>I want REAL technology /sci/
>WAAHHH why won't people do things FOR me?!
If you want change, do something about it. I'm so sick of people bitching to /sci/ about where technology is today without even making an attempt to contribute.

>>993953

Depends, it can be successful if :

Most of the population revolts or if we become as extreme as terrorists. It's kinda hard to make a revolution without bringing the country to chaos and begin anew.

>>993971

>Asianfag here.

why in the world is that on the end of your post?

>>993805
I don't have to point out all the errors with this, do I?

>>993964

okay, bro, whatever you say. enjoy living in fear.

>>993982
Don't know, maybe because it's 10pm here.

>>993983

I'd like to see it. I'm betting you just disagree with this, but have no actual evidence to back it up.

>>993997

righto. it just had nothing to do with your post, as retardedly stereotypical as it was, that's all.

>>993623
Play Bioshock, you now see what happens with unrestricted scientific research. It went pretty well untill you put people into the equation.

>>994014
>implying bioshock was about science and not about capitalism

>>994014

>Bioshock

what the fuck are you even doing here?

>>994032
Oh sorry, just happened to point out something clear as day. It isn't the fact that a "Science City" sounds like a bad '50s comic or that it seems like the same things that OP pointed out would happen there anyway, it was the fact that anyone who understands human nature at the most childish levels would see that would be the downfall of such a concept.

I agree OP.

/sci/ I propose that we buy an Island in the Pacific and start a Scientopia. We can all be Scientologists...okay not really but I lol'd a little.

Entry into the country can be gained by achievement and intelligence, those that want to stay will have to qualify as well. I'm not too opposed to having a civilization much like Sparta from 300. We can have a mutually beneficial relationship with the US. We can ship them goods, in exchange for protection, and tariff-free agricultural goods.
