rising income inequality means that not everyone will have access to these improvements. our personal lives don't always mirror technological advancements.

>>70026901
Yes they do. Things will just get cheaper and more efficient.

automation will cause a major issue with job loss and shit by 2030
i'm not so euphoric about it

>>70026979
New jobs will emerge. People can be retrained to do different jobs.

More likely though is that jobs will just get easier to perform, and thus humans will be able to work at a higher and more efficient level. (See: accounting)

Plus it's too much of a stretch right now. Weren't people talking about "flying cars" and robots doing all our jobs in the year 2000?

Wonder where that is...

Just chill out and focus on the fundamentals instead of getting fooled by background noise, doomsdayers, schizophrenics.

Shit will work out for the best.

I'm taking care of my body and health. I'm saving and investing my money, I'm cultivating relationships with people who's company I enjoy.

Yeah I guess the world could end in 20 years. But I could die in a car crash tomorrow too, so what? Am I just suppose to sit in a basement and do nothing?

Stop being a fearmongering idiot. Or join the people on /pol/.

public transportation remains pretty shoddy in my neck of the woods and i don't foresee that changing. cheaper cars that go a bit faster and have a few more safety features are definitely nice, but they certainly won't make life worth living.

>Better medicine.
everyone likes such improvements, but medicine is ultimately a means, not an end. what good is a longer lifespan if you don't like the life you have?

>More information freely available.
not a guarantee with net neutrality increasingly being questioned. plus, look at the amount of file sharing services that have been taken down recently. it's a distinct possibility that the golden years of the internet we've had the opportunity to live through are fading.

>Everything is improving how is that bad?
once again you conflate new developments in certain industries with improvements in collective well-being. surely you can sense some folly in that mode of thinking?

It's a nice thing though, aircraft and cars are improving quickly. Can't wait for proper self driving cars to be a commonplace.
>>Better medicine.
>everyone likes such improvements, but medicine is ultimately a means, not an end. what good is a longer lifespan if you don't like the life you have?

I like the life I have. Also medicine is more than just lifespan, quality of life is more important. Which advances in medicine create.

If you have a joint problem you can get it repaired, and the technology is incredible these days.

20 years ago laser eye surgery or pinhole orthopedic surgery didn't exist. Imagine another 20-30 years from now.

Probably done entirely automated and with so much research the risk of failure and recovery will be absolutely minimized.
>>More information freely available.

Well then how you measure collective wellbeing?

According to you it's some arbitrary measure that you can't quantify, or even name the elements of.

never even said it was or wasn't so please don't put words in my mouth. to reiterate, all i've ever been challenging is your naive notion that the future is looking out for us.

do you think it was better to live under world war 1 than the relative peace that immediately preceded it? world war 1 took place after that, and thus must have been an improvement, right?

it seems like you have a hard time reckoning with intangibles, which is unfortunate for you since much of the human experience is intangible.

Why are you children so easily triggered by your age being called out? Your generation has a huge issue with that.

>>70028188
You can refuse medical treatment or any of the advancements, it's not like they're mandatory. No ones forcing you to do anything.

Alternatively just kys and make more room for the rest of us.

>>70028189
It is, unless you wish to dispute that the aforementioned advances do not improve the world.

Do you wish to do that?

What generation do you belong to exactly?

Isn't it time to get off anime imageboards gramps? How old are you exactly?

And no one's "triggered", you just look like a retard who feels superiority for spending more time and being older on an anime website. Is that really a badge of honour to you?

>>70028257
>What generation do you belong to exactly?

And ma y do not. Faggots like you would lock somebody up with severe treatment resistant depression who has sought care, been on a shitkoad of drugs and treatment for 20+ and has not gotten better because "DUDE THERE COULD BE A TREATMENT THAT WORKS THAT COMES OUT IN THREE YEARS OR WHATEVER"

It's not projection if that's exactly what you did. Do you even know what projection means?

You complain about the age of posters on a website and yet continue to spend time here. How long have you been posting on anime forums to notice a demographical shift anyways?

If you don't like it so much maybe it's because this website wasn't designed to be spent thousands of hours on.

'the world' is an incredibly broad term that encompasses much more than medicine and technology, so absolutely. were you to have posited that technological and medical advancements are generally good things, few would dispute it, i'm sure. nobody itt has challenged this. once again, all anybody has ever challenged is your faith in the future's benevolent hand.

>hey dude, your country's about to get nuked because ww3 but don't worry! thanks to medical improvements you have a lifetime of cancer treatments to look forward to!

not saying such a conflict is impending or even inevitable, but you have to realize that the future isn't necessarily bright and rosy because of some new developments in cancer research or more detailed graphics in your video games.
