I believe tech like Neuralink will enable a type of digital telepathy. We will use actual speech less because we will be able to send it to one anothers brains. I believe the planet will heal due to tech like meat culturing. We wont have to keep concentration camps of animals either. This style of farming creates vast swaths of pollution...this will begin to go away. We will rely on things like insect protein...we will use it to print foods that mimic others so closely that you won't know it unless someone tells you. I am so excited for the future. I feel like we will think ourselves to a healthy planet...well at least a planet on the mend.

PS- we will be living on Mars by then and will be venturing into deep space. I think we will have known about ETS for decades by then too. Can someone remind me about this in 2050?

Ew. Neuralink sounds fucking terrible then. Cyberpunk 2077 kinda exposes a lot of problems brain implants will have, and it's actually being tame. Imagine Spyware just sending your every thought off to someone else who can blackmail you over it. Stared at someone's butt too long? Your spouse now knows. Think about how much you hate your boss? Enjoy your meeting with HR. Someone snuck into your visual feed while you showered and now the recording is online for all to see.

The person behind Neuralink is the absolute last person I think should ever be heading such a product, and there are worse people out there who will gladly exploit every last security flaw that you're too poor to protect yourself against.

That stuff sounds all fun and cutesy until you realize how much of your information gets hijacked from your phone or computer, but now it's your thoughts being intercepted. Count me out.
