its always really dumb when you have cyberpunk people being all broody about their sweet robot arms or their awesome robot legs or their washboard robot abs, same poo poo as when vampires get all :qq: about being immortal in movies and stuff. being immortal would own. having robot arms would own. immortal robot arm+leg+abs having vampire would be the owningest but i don't wanna dream too big you know

what if you just did robot brain and cloning?

None. A lot of today's tech is yesterday's science fiction, our productivity has skyrocketed as a result, and we're still killing ourselves working ridiculous hours in a capitalist society. Even if I could, say, teleport instantly from my house to work, that would mean everybody else could, too, and we'd be forced to work longer hours to compete. Honestly, I'd rather have the relative peace and quiet of the 20-minute commute from my house in a rural community.

Sci-fi and fantasy worlds may sound cool and exciting, until you realize that, regardless of what reality we live in, we'd still have the same drat problems, just in a slightly different configuration. "Hey, we're flying through space at 5 times the speed of light! Oh poo poo, I'm late for my meeting with upper management, hope I don't get fired and ejected into the nearest star while they replace me with a harder-working clone."

edit: yes, I am great fun at parties, why do you ask?

you should of just said the creation and use of weapons that set our technology back 100 years.

is it acceptable to say i'd like it if our world just became rifts because it'd make life far far shorter more interesting.

Like yeah on some levels some of the wanky sci-fi tech wouldn't really change all that much because it'd still be in a society that doesn't use tech to ease burdens, just to increase productivity but also some of it would def. change the way the world worked as a whole. like capitalism would fall apart overnight if some dude invented a replicator (and then we'd all die in replicator wars i guess)

wouldn't it be like uh the third kind the PKD story?

A Corporation nation. And I don't mean a country run by corporations, I mean "The Republic of Wal-Mart". I just want to see how that would work. Like, are all citizens considered employees? what happens if you get fired?

you never get fired from a company you get promoted to customer..

rich people get the best available fighting cats and augment them with the best available cybernetics and dominate the death cat fighting circuit

i figured this would be like cock fighting where you try to take all your poor friends money by killing their pets, in an abandoned barn.
