I lack knowledge on this topic. My source is from Lydia and Claude Bourguignon, french "expert" on soil. They did an interview on it, however i just checked and stubled on articles critizing part of their unscientific method, so what i wrote may be wrong.

I may go outside their analysis.

I would be worried about food quality and its nutriments. Bourguignon's couple explained that vertical farming use a standardised soil for economical reason. So there won't be any terroir : soil's unique attribute that give a certain taste, nutriment to the vegetable. They can't put every soil components (too expensive) hence the lack of personality (taste) and nutriments.

So whatever is its location, it will have the same taste. A vegetable depend of the soil and climate to nuture its taste and nutriments.

As for animal, dunno but i think the lack of activities will hinder their health like us (=medications that will end up in your meal or soil). And their muscle fiber will be weak. They need exercises, sun and a healthy diet.

Futhermore, i wonder how much energy you will need for the soil, the light...we walk on it, the sun is warm, it is free, it's a lively gut that feed generations of various animals and plants. The apex of life.

So, let's imagine what could happen with a standardised meal...That's not a great futur.

We really need to stop industrial food, reduce our population and improve soil's quality by removing bad agricultural practice that spell doom to humanity survival and life.

20-30 years is very very optimistic prediction. They imagined flying car. It will be the same for self-driving car. Although we did lot research and progressed by leap and bound, we still face ton of challenge as tagged traffic sign recognition, unpainted road...it's not ready and AI is not able to understand our environment, nor able to do any ounce of adaptation.

We are in a very early stage. Their main asset is finding the correct data and copy-pasta. They can't think.

I wouldn't put any cents in neuralink : this technology already existed and created a connexion between a brain and computer. Nothing more. Musk is only an investor with a sprinkle of personality cult.

We are very far from understanding how brain work, nor illness as depression, bipolar…and that doesn't mean we haven't progressed but we are very far from this step aside connecting brain to computer and moving a mouse on the screen.

If we succeed in memory transfert, there is still lot challenge to solve. We know nothing about our brain and memory.

When you transfert memory data, we will need to make sure various point :

• that we are able to create new memories, think and use the data received
• that we can solve possible memory conflict between old brain and new brain.
• that the data transferred last.
• Is the clone another version of yourself ? It maybe someone else with a different habit. In fact, you died.
