Intelligence:

  1. Automation from intelligence. A new golden age.
  2. Ability to terraform Mars and Venus.
  3. Send probes to other star systems, and later send machines to terraform them.
  4. Spread life throughout the universe.
  5. No more over population because AGI will supply low cost mates.
  6. 3d cities.
  7. An end to absurdities like climate change disaster and standard model particle physics (there are only standing EM waves).

What do you mean by that

I mean we already see a similar effect strongly in well developed counties. There’s fun stuff to do besides fornciation and courtship, and kids eat into fun time and fun funds, MASSIVEly.

Also, as you stop needing a small army to work a farm, huge families become vanishingly rare.

So just imagine the effect of having mind-blowing robot sex readily available. It’s not that nobody will have babies; so few will bother that the death rate will outpace new births even more than they do now

makes sense. If people do not die then they don't need to reproduce anymore. Even if they do it will likely be through artificial womb technology. There is no need to use your body as an incubator when you can design a machine to do it far safer. Sex may become nothing more than vestigial behavior.

What happens when bots are good sex mates? Give you a good blow so you don't have the urge to chase.

You're joking I hope lol

The standard model is ugly, but least it works. You can't explain much of anything using standing EM waves.

I can explain everything with standing EM waves. Ugly = wrong, just look at history of bad / wrong theories. Standard Model breaks and they just change the theory to accommodate. The hallmark of something very wrong. Hasn't produced anything useful, another hallmark of something very wrong.

Bullshit.

Explain the existence of electrically neutral particles like neutrinos and why they're able to interact at all with other particles.

No, ugly = ugly and wrong = wrong. Physics has no reason to be elegant to humans. The Standard model is incomplete (dark matter/energy, quantum gravity, and antimatter imbalance not explained) and inelegant, but has made predictions which up until now have worked for the rest of particle physics. In the sense of incompleteness, it could be considered "wrong". However, it is effective at predicting everything we are able to test here on Earth, so in that sense it is "right".

In fact, scientists at the LHC have been trying very hard, to no avail, to find deviations to the standard model.

> Hasn't produced anything useful, another hallmark of something very wrong.

Bad predictions and inconsistency with reality are the hallmark of something wrong. Subatomic physics isn't really that useful (we have no real use for gluons, neutrinos, etc), but we still do test theories of it.

This isn’t necessarily always the case, just look at the most efficient way to fit 17 squares in a larger square.
