Are humans going towards a dystopian future? We're having things like test tube babies, tight government control over the media we consume as well as government spying, the media encouraging people to buy things they don't need to keep the system going (consumerism), more of a focus on carnal desires (things like porn, drugs etc) etc

how old are you

why do you ask?

Sure. The more money a few people amass, the more influence they have on governments. This will eventually lead to the asianisation of the west, majority of the people will be living off UBI, in secluded shitty ghettos, with tons of surveillance. This is absolutely guaranteed, unless some catastrophic event forces a "political reset" of some sort and we move to a different economic system.

because you worded your thoughts like youre still in high school

any society that surpresses knowledge, truth, etc is dystopic, its been such for 5 thousand years, the advents of slavery and centralised societies (egypt etc, fucking niggers).

if you dont understand in the age of survielence internet and technology that we are already balls deep in dystopia then you dont know fucking shit

stay woke

if you havent read alduous huxleys brave new world revissited BTFO

softbacks better but this is better then nothing

I'm not. I have had very little sleep so that may be it

how old r u

...

It has always been like this

No, stop using that shitty meme.

Childhood is fearing that the world might become a dystopia.

Adolescence is realizing it already has.

Adulthood is realizing that it has never been anything else.

Here nigger

what about when we wuz tribes and shiet with no rulers

It's especially annoying when you think a couple of decades ago speaks for history

Kill yourself

Majority of men died violently and you always lived under the threat of raids by other tribes and society was dominated by who ever was biggest and meanest.

The dream

The good old days

don't worry climate change will kill us all soon enough

How fucked is the trajectory of human environmental genetic selection? All the good men go to war and die and don't breed. What you are left with cuck shit up and this is what remains.

>Adulthood is realizing that it has never been anything else.
Maturity is realizing that things are getting better

Worse*

oh yeah I forgot about that kinda shit. Unironically sounds better than today though

Yeah I unironically long to be a dirty ass tribesman living in a society where 'might makes right' is the accepted moral code. There's way less pride in living in a modern era

>Wanting to die in bed
Why would you not long to die in battle with your enemies?

>ywn be a knight fighting for his lord and for honor
Life is painful
>inb4 akshually that's just a steroetype of knights :^)
>dying in bed
I'm no s*Yboy

It still is that way the only alternative is anarchistic utopias where all citizens are bounded in agreeance to the non aggression principle against one another with effective dispute resolution organisations that eventually become redundant. For this you require a hyper educated citizenry and symbiotically a post scarcity society. Neither of which occurs anywhere in the world yet. I can't even achieve smoking of a blunt through free market enterprises that's how restricted it is where I live. So fucking archaic. (Somewhere in anglosphere)

>implying test tube babies are a bad thing

>Are humans going towards a dystopian future?
Yes but not because of the dumb reasons you listed

>say quote
>wow so deep so true
>continue living as if nothing is wrong

These pop-quotes are the ultimate sedative for the complacent consumer

>being able to genetically modify children is good
they are methods of control

I think this whole equality thing will end up just being an anomaly of history that lasted for a few hundred years until it inevitably died. Widespread democracy and egalitarianism was originally made possible with high population and firearms. With these, the balance of power was shifted toward the plebs and they were able to oust the nobility and take over their governments. Before guns, the elite could subjugate the peasantry much more easily due to being able to afford greatly superior weapons. But when you have ten times as many peasants as there used to be and they all have rifles instead of spears and axes, you no longer have the means to buy yourself a significant enough of a technological advantage to keep the masses down.

However eventually guns will become obsolete and the balance of power will shift again. The elites will use drones/killbots in conjunction with a massive surveillance state to take out anyone standing in their way as they gradually consolidate their power. The current liberal fantasy that a bunch of militias with rifles are completely toothless against the state's military machine will actually become a reality. The old classes will re-emerge, with the elites that control the corporations and governments at the top, the peasantry that swear fealty to those entities in the middle and the dirt-poor serfs at the bottom.

But dude a militia is already toothless against modern military.
Look at every insurgency war of the last 50 years. Generally the US or any other modern military rekts the insurgents really hard.

This. Only with the support of the military can a rebellion go succesfully

So what solution do you propose? Build our own superbots/killingmachines and take part in the shitshow? Or try to find the next best elite and open your buttocks to them and have your descendants live at mercy of their local nobleman?

The problems are deeper than that

That hasn't happened in Afghanistan. Taliban still going strong 17 years after the invasion.

Well you live in a nation where you can afford internet. You can afford a plane ticket to bumfuck Africa and marry a tribal girl and live the alpha life.

t. soyboy

>It's a bad thing that you can keep my brother from having scoliosis

Well it's bad for the folks that can't afford it.

But supreme children could eliminate many genetic conditions and essentially clean up the species without gassing autistic people.

The US wins the conventional war, but you just have to look at Vietnam or even the modern Middle East to see that the most advanced military in the world can't keep down insurgents.

>Generally the US or any other modern military rekts the insurgents really hard

*blocks ur path*

>Are humans going towards a dystopian future?

You're already living in "dystopia justifies the means" trope world.

hmm...

Those aren't insurgents you fucking moron

Nah, maturity is realizing that utopia and distopia are two sides of the same coin: merely a perspective. Any society can be framed in utopian or distopian language

Actually tribes develop a very tight moral understanding, small isolated tribes have separate matriarcal and paternal codes and a bunch of stuff that they follow extremely close.

That is basically what we do today with nationalism and localism.

you surely are a newfag

most of the time and most places but never all the time and everywhere

>test tube babies
That's the best thing that can happen.

We've already gotten to that point user. Wait a few decades, we'll basically be balls deep in the world you described with no hope.

Looks as if it ripped all its material from some Metanoia films documentary.

Do you seriously think that'll happen without an unpredictable amount of social conflict?

unfortunately just some of us
