If (as I suspect) we develop artficial photosynthesis in the future, we will require the carbon dioxide level to be maintained at a particular level. Burning fossil fuels might be one way to do this; the people of the future might look at our reluctance to burn fossil fuels with some bemusement.
“Poverty” isn’t considered a moral failing now. The ravings of a select few does not make it business as usual.
“White Flight” doesn’t actually exist, though “Middle Class Flight” might.
Oh, I get it, you’re screwing with us. Right? Um… RIGHT?
The amount that the US is currently getting up in everybody’s business. The other countries of the world are, for the most part, perfectly capable of running their own country and they don’t need us, they don’t need our military, and they certainly don’t need our laws and morals. We’re really not all that, never have been and never need to be.
It is far more widespread than a “select few”.
That is true, I was just using the more well-known term for it.
No. Obviously this is less deplorable than some of the other things mentioned here, but much of modern art ought to be revolting to any right-thinking person of Western Civilization especially considering we ought to know better and are not fetish-worshipping subsistence farmers in the Sahel.
Embalming and burying our dead.
The idea of indoctrinating a child into your religion. I’m assuming as psychology and neuroscience advance we will realize a lot of a person’s personality is (more than we already know) heavily written in the first 10 years or so of life. So parents who drop their kids off at daycare with strangers, and then indoctrinate the kinds into a religion will not be looked well upon. It may be seen as infringing on someone’s free will.
How is that different than any other belief system a parent might “impose” upon their children? Doesn’t your prediction presume a widely accepted belief that religion is bad? I’m not arguing that particular point (for the record, I’m religious), but I don’t see that happening.
Jailing addicts instead of giving them medical treatment will be regarded with the same incredulousness and shock that we now regard burning witches. That one is not too far down the road, except perhaps in benighted reservoirs of superstition like Saudi Arabia.
Farther down, all religious belief will eventually be regarded as a simple product of cultural brainwashing and/or ignorance. Perhaps not horrible in and of itself, but the cause of many horrors, since as the saying goes, 'If you can convince a man to believe in absurdities, you can convince him to commit atrocities."
Not quite, that ignores the **other **evil twin of global warming: Ocean acidification.
And then the ocean rise will not make the idea of keeping the current high levels of CO2 a good one.
Those judging us in future countries will be living in different times and situations, and therefore their opinions of our behavior will be just as hypocritical as our present condemnations of our ancestors. I doubt you’re going to see a linear progression from current trendy political and sociological movements. Some will undoubtedly reverse (see the Progressive movement and alcohol), or divert into directions unknown. In any case, it’s likely that radical changes in human behavior and civilization would be limited to a few select areas. For a few examples off the top of my head…
A is a civilization composed of minds uploaded from flesh to computer networks so advanced as to seem to a modern man like magic. The thought of deliberately impairing and possibly damaging the function of your consciousness with mind-altering substances like psychedelics, hallucinogenics, and other drugs is unbelievably horrific. Doing such substances “for fun” will make about as much sense as the idea of setting yourself on fire recreationally. Or perhaps the removal of physical harm and the resulting legal penalties from the equation means that a disturbing number of individuals divert themselves in Holodeck-like environments to committing all manner of atrocities against virtual creations, including sentient AIs.
B has found an easy way to synchronize the mental and physical states of trans individuals. All it takes is a brief outpatient procedure, and you’re good to go. They view the sex reassignment surgeries and hormone therapies of their ancestors as butchery, akin to bloodletting. The causes of homosexuality, asexuality, etc are found, and most parents opt to modify their child in-utero to “fix” them. Someone allowing a child to be born gay is seen as equivalent to letting them be born blind, clubfooted, harelipped, or mentally retarded.
C barely weathered the emergence of radical movements in the tradition of Bolshevism, Fascism, religious fundamentalism, and other lovely “isms.” As such, the very idea of freedom of speech and religion is considered an incredibly dangerous and archaic institution that cannot coexist with the survival of modern civilization.
D faces massive resource problems. Starvation is rampant, and they can barely keep their own military fed. The idea of giving convicted felons three full meals per day, heated quarters, and education programs is unthinkable when your average law-abiding citizen can barely obtain that much. Similarly, there is no point in taking care of the mentally retarded or profoundly disabled when the costs of maintaining them are nowhere near what they will be able to return. Past societies that didn’t just shoot them in the head and recycle their remains for Soylent Green are looked down upon as weak, wasteful, and degenerate.
E has developed a means of transferring fetal humans into artificial wombs at any stage of development. In such wombs, they can either be gestated to term; or preserved in stasis until someone wishes to adopt them. The very idea of abortion is incredibly abhorrent, placed in the history books alongside cannibalism, genocide, and human sacrifice.
F experienced a massive influx of immigrants that followed a different belief system. In a manner similar to the Anabaptists in Munster, the new arrivals attempted to supplant and marginalize the native population. After just barely managing to ensure the survival of themselves as an independent culture and people, F is incredibly xenophobic and considers illegal immigrantion to be tantamount to a declaration of war.
I could see Orthodox Jews and some Muslims having issues with it do to Halal and Kosher dietary laws, though perhaps less so with Muslims since Islam for all it’s problems tends to be fairly pragmatic and Muslims tend to rely on religious authorities far more than scripture in comparison to Jews or Christians.

Subject: CASH INTO YOUR PAYPAL ACCOUNT WITH JUST A FEW CLICKS
IT REALLY WORKS-IT’S NOT A SCAM – YOU NEED $6 / TIME / A COMPUTER
!!!QUICK MONEY!!! – FAST CASH
At first I thought this was too good to be true, how wrong I was!! I decided to give it a go, it was only 6 dollars so why not? Well I was astounded!! Money has, and still is coming to my account.
Ok this is all you need:
- An email address
- A PayPal account
- then POST,POST,POST,POST,POST,POST,POST,POST,POST… …
Only hours after implementing this exact system I about fell out of my chair as money ACTUALLY started rolling in. I couldn’t believe it and for that reason, I became a believer in this system.?
WHAT IS IT?
The idea is that of a system that takes advantage of the power of compounding. And in a big way, let me tell you. First and foremost understand that there are countless spin-offs of this system that try to make a “quick buck” off of people. Long lists, the 5 & 10 dollar trees, the birthday systems, etc… Those spin-offs do make money because of the ease of implementation of this idea, but they do NOT use the compounding advantage. This system is THE legit and profitable one.
HERE IS HOW IT WORKS…
There is a list of 6 email addresses (you’ll see it as you read further). Each of these people has already taken part in this system.
When someone new comes along (such as yourself) he/she removes #1 off of the list, moves the other five email addresses up one position (i.e. #6 goes to #5, #5 to #4, etc.), and adds their PayPal email address in the 6 position.
This process is what develops the power of compounding.
The bottom line is this… Honesty and Integrity creates Profitability.
Following this EXACT process is what creates the money, and that is why this system has been raved about in the Altering the system creates weak results. The legality of this system comes from the idea that you are of course creating a mailing list, and a “service” is being provided (more on that later.) Now on to how your SpamSpamSpamSpamSpam creates BIG money…
INSTRUCTIONS:
STEP 1:
The first thing to do COPY, PASTE and SAVE this entire post in word or notepad on your computer so you can come back to it later.
After that, if you are not already a PayPal user you need to go to the PayPal website at https://www.paypal.com/ and SIGN UP.
To receive credit card payments from other people you must sign up for a PREMIER or BUSINESS account (not just a PERSONAL account). This is highly recommended to allow others easy payment options.
To place the initial $6 into your account, you will have to verify your bank account with PAYPAL (which may take a few days).
PAYPAL is 100% secure and is used by millions of people worldwide.
STEP 2:
Here is where the action occurs. Then next send a $1.00 payment to each of the 6 email addresses on the current list from your PayPal account. To do this quickly and successfully, follow these simple steps:
- Login to PayPal and click the “Send Money” tab near top of screen
- In the “Recipient’s Email” field type: the email address
- In the “Amount” field type: “1” (your $1.00 payment)
- In the “Category” field select: “Service” (Keeping it legal)
- In the “subject” field type: “EMAIL LIST”,
- In the “message” field type: “PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR EMAIL LIST”.
(By doing this, you are creating a service and maintaining the legality of the system by “paying” for the service. ) - Finally, click on the “Continue” button to complete the payment.
- Repeat these steps for each of the 6 email addresses. that’s it!
(By sending the $1.00 payment to each address, you are implementing
the compounding POWER of the system. You will reap what you sow! )
Here is the current e-mail list:
- fathe_byl@yahoo.com
- armoedz@gmail.com
- ibez@bigpond.com
- lawrence.a.spann@gmail.com
- melsott@hotmail.com
- mattias__ohlin@hotmail.se
STEP 3:
Now take the 1st email off of the list that you see above (from your saved file), Move the other addresses up (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, etc.) and add YOUR email address (the one used for your PayPal account) as number 6 on the list. This is the only part of the document that should be changed.
** Make sure to use the email address you registered with PayPal **
STEP 4 now post new file created in STEP 3 to at least 200 newsgroups or message boards. Keep in mind that there are tens of thousands of groups online!
All you need is 200, but remember the more you post the more money you make - as well as everyone else on the list!
I’ve began to see money roll in before I even hit 100 posts, but try to hit around 200 to allow maximum exposure. Use Netscape, Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, or whatever your internet browser is to search for various news groups, on-line forums, message boards, bulletin boards, chat sites, iscussions, discussion groups, on-line communities, etc.
For example?
Log on to any search engine like yahoo.com or google.com and type in a subject like ‘MILLIONAIRE MESSAGE BOARD’,MONEY MAKING DISCUSSIONS’, ‘MONEY MAKING FORUMS’, or ‘BUSINESS MESSAGE BOARD’, etc. You will find thousands and thousands of message boards. Click them one by one and you will find the option to post a new message. Fill in the subject which will be the header that everyone sees as they scroll through the list of postings in a particular group, and post the article with the NEW list of email addresses included. THAT’S IT!!! All you have to do is jump to different newsgroups and post away. After you get the hang of it, it will take about 30 seconds for each newsgroup.
HOW THE MONEY WORKS
:
When you post 200 messages in various forums, it is estimated that at LEAST 15 people will respond and send you a $1.00 ($15.00). Those 15 will Post 200 Posts each and 225 people send you $1.00
($225.00), etc. through 6 levels of email addresses. For comprehension purposes, here is an easy viewing chart:
- 15(1) = 15 people ($1) = $15
- 15(15) = 225 people ($1) = $225
- 15(225) = 3375 people ($1) = $3375
- 15(3375) = 50625 people ($1) = $50625
- 15(50625) = 759375 people ($1) = $759375
As you can see, your SpamSpamSpamSpamSpamSpamSpam has multiplied exponentially. What other opportunity that is as simple as this can cash in the way this can?! I’m not going to say this is going to make everyone over $800,000, but within a few WEEKS you begin to see results, thanks to the speed of the internet!
When your name is no longer on the list, take the latest posting in the newsgroups and begin the process again. Simply amazing…Follow the system as described, and enjoy your PROFITS!!!
REMEMBER… HONESTY AND INTEGRITY = PROFITABILITY YOUR NAME COULD CYCLE FOR A LONG TIME!
Good luck!
HOW TO POST TO NEWS GROUPS?
Use Netscape or Internet Explorer and try searching for various newsgroups (on-line forums, message boards, chat sites, discussions.)
Log on any search engine like yahoo.com, google.com, altavista.com, excite.com, etc. Search with the subject "millionaire message board; or; money making message board; or; employment message board; or making money discussions; or; money making forum; or; business message board; etc. You will find thousands & thousands of message boards.
Click on them one by one and you will find the option ‘post a new message’.
Then Post this article as a ‘new message’ by highlighting the text of this letter and selecting copy then paste from the edit menu.
Fill in the Subject, this will be the header that everyone sees as they scroll through the list of postings in a particular group, click the post message button.
You’re done with your first one! It only takes about 60 seconds to complete postings on message boards
after you catch on.
REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL MAKE!! !!!GOOD LUCK!!

I didn’t mention current levels, but a certain level of CO2 is necessary if our planet is to avoid freezing and to allow plants to perform photosynthesis. If we develop artificial photosynthesis and use it on a significant scale, it will be necessary to top the atmospheric CO2 level up.
Adding CO2 to the atmosphere near a source of carbon and allowing the wind to distribute it would be an essentially free method of transport for carbon across the face of our planet.
Capital punishment - we’re largely there already.
Lack of universal health care - same.
Burning fossil fuels - getting there.
Using religion as a pretext for oppression and killing - well, we can dream.
Tribalism - after we evolve enough to be considered a new species, maybe.
Post-secondary student loan debt.
If, as I believe, free will and responsibility are myths, then response to errors of behaviour need to be treated as such. Kind of rules out vengeance and punishment to placate the masses and concentrates on protection of the public and rehabilitation.
I don’t know why whenever someone asks something like this, one of the answers is always “eating meat from animals.” Ho,ans are animals, it’s not inherently aberrant for animals to eat other animals. I am aware humans are capable of living sufficiently long and healthy lives without eating meat, and we’re able to think about the moral issues potentially involved, but I’m not sure why people are so eager to see this “meat-eating” thing as just a phase.
I’m in favor of researching vat-grown meat, but still.
My answer to the question: capitalism.
Ok, the serious answer: organ transplantation, as opposed to growing new ones. The idea that stem cell research was condemned as immoral and prohibited by law in supposedly civilized lands will be seen as an prime example of the callous cruelty of the late 20th/early 21st century.
If, as you believe, free will and responsibility are myths, then responses to errors of behaviour can no more be controlled than can the behaviour in the first place, and it is meaningless to talk of oughts, shoulds and “needs to be”. Behaviour occurs in response to stimuli, and itself occasions further behaviour in response, and that is all. We’re all puppets on strings, and both my post and your likely reply to it are just as the tugs on the strings dictate, never mind what public policy on crime and punishment will be.
I used to think that fatalism was the only option, but after much consideration I can now see an alternative. It is worth remembering that the great majority of philosophers and scientists working with human behaviour do not accept the myth of free will, either being Libertarians or at least compatibility- believing that although all is determined, we are still justified in treating people as if they did.
The philosophical alternative to fatalism is a form of statistical randomness in outcome- where although there is no locus of responsibility, outcomes are not totally determined- a form of indeterminism rather than Determinism.
You talk well in fantasyland, but how exactly do we alter our criminal justice system to no longer hold an individual responsible for a crime committed against another human being?
Is it the fault of the victim in your scenario, or is he simply acting out his fate by taking the burglar’s knife in his neck?
