The transcension hypothesis: Sufficiently advanced civilizations invariably leave our universe.

There's no need to colonize other solar systems when we are compressing everything into 'inner space' rather than the 'outer space' because it's more efficient.

We will compress everything into virtual realities, it makes it possible to explore more with lower cost and we'll escape this physical reality.

That’s a huge stretch tbh constructing virtual worlds without ASI will be pain in the ass

We'll have A.S.I. before the end of this decade.

  1. idk. Maybe the solar system with exploratory missions beyond. 2) Yes. 3) Yes.

So I watched a short 30 minute mini doc called “Culture in Decline” by the Zeitgeist Movement. Highly recommend it.

And in particular the last episode they made which was way back in 2013 was titled “Tale of Two Worlds”.

It basically talked about what the would could be 100 years from now in two different scenarios. A dystopia and a almost utopia world.

It’s both interesting and very informing.

As far as where we are by 2099 is anyone’s guess. I hope we’ll have ASI by then. Depending on how well humanity is with ASI taking the reigns(and if the ASI is accessible for the masses), the singularity may have already occurred and the world may be unrecognizable from today’s world.

It will definitely be different hopefully immortality exists don’t care if asi doesn’t happen hopefully it does

No, the majority of humanity has a Dickensian hellscape to look-forward to living on a very modest UBI.

Humanity will never leave this rock in any meaningful way. We are evolved to survive here, space is a very harsh environment that humans are not adapted to live in. The AIs may go to space, humans never will.

Except we go to space, we're currently seeing commercial space travel and companies are working on making said space travel affordable to the middle class as a vacation package. All of this has happend within the last 15 years. Space X, Virgin Galactic, Blue Origin. I'm sure China and other countries will follow suit, especially once the tech gets better and old tech becomes sold to help fund research into advanced tech. Humanity will definitely leave this rock, we already are. With all the programs running, I can definitely see aging become a treatable disease, what better way to remedy overpopulation than to populate other planets.

We're building information highways in space right now, with project kuiper, starling and even Google has satellites that are trying to create a global and in the future inter Galactic web of sorts. Internet that connects planet to planet. I'm figuring that will be the next wave of misinformation, what service provider you use to get information from different planets.how trust worthy is it. What can you believe is going on in a planet light-years away. With the link set up, we would genuinely receive this information as it happens, but how edited and filtered would it be?

Most so called "space travel" is just going into low Earth orbit. The farthest we've been is the moon haven't been back for 50 years.

Yes, im aware, it's also our start. Like, do you just expect it to stop there? Hey guys we have achieved lower orbit we're good. The goal is space, the tech just has to catch up to the goal. It's not something that will happen quickly, but I can see it happening withing the next 30 years, possibly sooner depending on how fast machine learning can accelerate the development of new technologies.
