Tell me something about life which most people find acceptable that you find unacceptable - and which can be changed by scientific and technological endeavour?
The taboo against incest.
>>8275413
What scientific / technological endeavour do you propose would change that?
>>8275421
Probably designer babies that will take care of any genetic issues with an incest baby.
As for my suggestion, I'm hoping that any sort of accessible travel within the solar system along with colony technology will allow people to set up their own experimental societies far away from the overbearing forces of mainstream society. Something like all those weird christian charter townships in early america.
>something you find unacceptable that you find unacceptable
The fact that I haven no friends
>scientific and technological endeavor
A friend robot.

It's 'something which most people find acceptable that you find unacceptable' m8

Yeah I mistyped. Probably my brain is rotting because I have no social interaction outside work.
But yeah, that's something other people are cool with that I am not cool with.
>>8275458
Would a friend robot be a true friend?
Is it real friendship if it's programmed to be your friend?
If it's not programmed to be your friend and it has to choose to be your friend, what makes you think the robot will want to be your friend?
That most powerplants need so many steps of transforming energy before it gets usable.

Does anyone actually do that, or is it just something from movies?
I'm from the UK and nothing even vaguely like them exists here.
developed nations still engage in destructive fishing practices while whingeing that catch rates are declining but failing to calculate a mass sustainable yield

Would it be possible for us to massively increase the supply of fish?
>>8275455
Most people find it acceptable that a social pariah has no friends.
>>8275588
Yeah through open ocean fish farming.

American here. Frats are a huge part of college life here and it's exactly like it is in the movies. Maybe that's why you don't have to pay for colleges over there, because they aren't any fun.

Genetic altercations? Cryogenics? Radical Life Extension? or all three?
Because we are technically working on all three right now.
