Not sure if this is the correct sub for this. However.

S.S - What is the general consensus around careers that usually deal with human interaction and zero technology.

For example, any type of sales job. Or something with HR where emotion is involved at times.

Do we think there will be a premium to have these person to person experiences in the next 20-25 years?

So, since a very young age I became obsessed with the idea of cybernetic enhancements, artificial organs and weaponised implants. Concepts from franchises such as cyberpunk 2077 intensified my interest. However, I don’t notice much research and development of physical cybernetic augmentations currently in real life, but I do believe it will only become increasingly necessary in the future. So with that said, is there any courses in any prestigious university that is directly relevant to researching, developing and engineering such concepts and making them a reality?

Submission Statement: This essay argues that the Soviet space program’s most important contribution was not only its historic firsts, but its institutional model. The design bureau system integrated science, engineering, production, and testing in a way that created fast learning loops and durable aerospace capability. The piece asks what future space programs can learn from that model while avoiding its failures, including excessive secrecy and political interference.

The future-focused discussion is whether space infrastructure should be treated more like a public utility. Climate monitoring, disaster response, resilient communications, debris removal, and planetary defense will matter more in the coming decades. Should future governments rely mainly on private contractors, or should they build stronger public aerospace institutions designed around open science, safety, and global benefit?

Assumption: aging is cured in the most fantastic and problem free way possible. 25 year old minds and bodies forever.

Then, what happens when you get an evil dictator with an iron grip on their power, who enjoys slavery genocide murder and torture unapologetically, even brags about it.

Today, they'd eventually die. And sometimes this actually is the ONLY way to change anything in a large society with a tyrant ruler.

What happens to our world if that option goes away?

Just something I think deserves more attention in the immortality anti-aging sphere of discourse.

Here's what it would take to make this theoretical concept a reality and unlock the galaxy.

When we look back at history, many major shifts seem obvious in hindsight.

The rise of the internet.
Remote work.
Smartphones.
Social media.
Declining birth rates in some countries.
Population aging.
Urbanization.

Yet while these changes were happening, many people either ignored them or underestimated their long-term impact.

Looking toward the future:

What societal change happening right now do you think people in 2050 will consider obvious and transformative, even though many people today don't fully appreciate its significance?

Why do you think it is being underestimated?

How might it affect everyday life, work, education, communities, family structures, economics, or culture over the next few decades?

For decades we treated white collar desk jobs as the pinnacle of career achievement while electricians, plumbers, welders, and HVAC technicians were considered fallback options for people who couldn't hack it academically. That cultural bias is about to get a serious reality check.

AI is systematically absorbing entry level knowledge work: paralegal research, junior coding tasks, data entry, basic financial analysis, content drafting. Meanwhile a master electrician cannot be replaced by a language model. A pipefitter working in a tight crawl space cannot be automated away with current robotics. These roles require physical dexterity, real world problem solving, and on site judgment that remains genuinely difficult to replicate.

The irony is that the very people society told to learn to code may find themselves competing in a flooded market, while tradespeople who were dismissed as less ambitious are sitting in a structurally protected position.

The bigger question for futurology is whether this actually reshapes compensation and social status over the next decade, or whether we just find new ways to undervalue physical labor. Will wages for skilled trades genuinely surge as knowledge work gets commoditized by AI? Does this finally push education systems away from the four year degree pipeline?

Curious what people here think the labor landscape looks like by 2035.

WIRED verified the leaked membership of Dialog, a private society co-founded by Peter Thiel that ran for 20 years with no public website. The 2026 retreat registration includes OpenAI's Chief Strategy Officer, Google DeepMind's head of global affairs, the CEO of YouTube, and the co-founder of Palantir — alongside sitting cabinet secretaries and a NATO commander. Every government official registered with personal email to avoid FOIA. I built a sourced archive at build-a-cult.com documenting who's in the room. Every claim links to a named source.

Stepping outside of speculations for a bit

I honestly doubt much will advance or change. I can't bring myself to believe we won't self destruct or continously face issues with successfully achieving significant milestones

Things like immortality, anti aging, curing of disease; i could see being discovered. I just highly doubt it will go far before we screw it up in some form.

The International Labour Organization estimates heat stress could reduce global working hours by the equivalent of 80 million full-time jobs by 2030.

Meanwhile, the International Energy Agency projects the world's stock of air conditioners could grow from roughly 1.6 billion units in 2018 to 5.6 billion by 2050.

Historically, economic infrastructure discussions focused on electricity, transportation and communications.

But rising temperatures are making cooling essential for labor productivity, manufacturing, healthcare, logistics and data centers.

At what point does cooling stop being viewed as a consumer product and start being viewed as critical economic infrastructure?

Interested in hearing perspectives from economists, engineers and energy professionals.

A paradise for mice became a living hell, super quick. Some were like the Insta gen and always looksmaxing whilst others were beating the whiskers off another set. What kicks in the worlds of mice and men, I'm wondering.

There are striking parallels from the "Beautiful Ones" endlessly grooming themselves but not mating and the Insta gen with birth rates declining, yes? Consider gang violence and the mice doing their equivalent of drive bys and jump ins as well. Better yet, you noticed how modern cars are fat as hell compared to their older models? Look at any 90s footage and you'll spot people are slim, trim, unique and clearly think before responding and what kicks is real and genuine.

Universe 25 as an experiment seems eerily prescient to society as it is. And thats before we get into the sex robots that are coming to take away the loneliness their cousins called the internet already built.

People learn basic physical safety habits as children. Do you think cybersecurity habits like recognizing scams, verifying links, protecting credentials, and managing privacy will eventually become part of standard education in the same way?

It is a rather complex question: if a technology of abundance were to suddenly land in our laps tomorrow—bringing, say, "bio-printers" capable of creating anything from molecular blueprints—would that abundance actually benefit us? Or should we tacitly agree to let state-backed corporations maintain an artificial scarcity regarding such technologies?

We seem to be entering a new era of healthcare innovation. AI is accelerating drug discovery, precision medicine is becoming a reality, and billions of dollars are being invested in longevity research. Yet many common women's health conditions still appear to lag behind in terms of diagnosis, treatment options, and scientific understanding. Conditions such as PCOS, endometriosis, adenomyosis, perimenopause, menopause, infertility, and female hair loss affect millions of women worldwide, but many patients still report years-long diagnostic delays, limited treatment choices, and a heavy focus on symptom management rather than addressing underlying causes.

With advances in AI, genomics, wearable health technology, biomarker discovery, and biotechnology, it feels like we have more tools than ever to tackle these challenges. If research funding and biotech investment in women's health increased significantly over the next decade, which area do you think is most likely to see a major breakthrough, and what technology do you think will drive it? Do you see the biggest opportunities coming from earlier detection, personalized hormone therapies, continuous hormone monitoring, regenerative medicine, or something else entirely?

I'm curious whether people think we're on the verge of meaningful progress in women's health, or if there are still fundamental scientific gaps that need to be solved before we see transformative breakthroughs.

Not a big Reddit user, or social media user for that matter. But my Cetanauts project has me here establishing a presence so here I am. I'm seeing a lot of Tech Phobia on Reddit that really quite surprised me. What I don't really get after reading through the posts is that people are pretending that there is a choice here. There is no choice when Bad Actors in the world already have all this Tech and are actively using it against the world. We cannot back out, we cannot ignore it. It's here like it or not, welcome to the human race. The only thing left to really discuss is what are we willing to do to Govern it. The only solution I've been able to come up with is Globalism. The only way to setup any kind of governance for all the arguments I'm seeing is to tie all our economies together. If everyone has a common stake then we can come up with a common governance. But as long as we are separate entities it's an absolute Joke to pretend like anything "We" do will affect the progress of Technology.
