Report me all you want dummy. I literally answered "yup" long ago and you're still digging like you're going to accomplish something.
Ah, I guess I missed your answer. If every prediction about the future is true, it includes all the predictions that humanity will be wiped out relatively soon, meaning that house building will never be fully automated and no one will commute by personal jetpack. But also all housing will be automated and people will commute by personal jetpack.
At the same time.
I can't wait to see how you resolve civilization simultaneously collapsing and advancing.
Now you're getting it
No, I'm really not getting it. I don't get how two completely opposite things can simultaneously happen. That sounds literally impossible to me.
Schrodinger would like a word with you
You really shouldn't talk about things you don't understand. First of all, that wouldn't literally happen to a cat. Secondly, that's not what a quantum superposition is.
I was a porr attempt at a joke. You're allowed to laugh a little dude. I don't know what will happen in the future. Nobody does. I choose to belive in a world heading towards Star Trek over Mad Max. We have bad 'jetpacks' now. Why is it so hard to think they'll upgrade to the point where they will be more accessible in the future. A la what happened the buggies and cars. They would be self driving I presume to.keep everyone more safe cause trusting the average person to fly is a bit much, but idk maybe.
We may also start ww3 at any point. Still don't know the future. I guess for my own sanity I try not to think that way. But like, if you really want to get into thus we have to bring up a lot more subjects, mainly UBI. But, regardless, most jobs being automated, including construction, so everyone gets to be happier is a world I want to live in.
So now you've gone from 'house will definitely construction will definitely be entirely automated" to "I don't know what will happen."
Fascinating.
As far as jetpacks- people don't want to fall to their deaths if they run out of fuel or have engine trouble on the way to work in the morning. I would have thought that would have been obvious.
I 100% believe it will be, I was trying to relate to you asshole
You have a strange way of relating to people- arguing with them, refusing to answer their questions, making trolling comments, insulting... not to mention never asking the person you're trying to relate to any questions about themselves.
Is this how you claim to relate to others?
How's your day been?
Sorry, after you've insulted me, especially since you didn't apologize for it, I'm not particularly interested in telling you about my day. It's strange, but I'm just not inclined to have a friendly discussion with someone who just called me an asshole.
Ok
