Things in the future you fear the most

[BazzBee]

Seeing red cum on my trousers.

 

[Callypigia]

My pipes burst and flooded my basement. I fear the water bill, plumbing bill, the Servpro bill, and construction bill to replace my ceiling, molding, and carpet.

 

[DarkStar1]

Being drafted into a world war.

 

[BlacLord™]

Planetary exploration and colonization.

More toys for the kids to fight over.

At first, I read that as Planetary Devastation (Dub name for Chibaku Tensei). XD

Cloning isn't even gonna be a problem because majority of people all ready see it as wrong and clones are people too so they will still have human rights. I don't see how it's that easy to brainwash or why anybody would want to kill me though.

Time travel is fiction. How would you even apply technology to do that? Let alone the theory of it.

I fear being forced to go to war or just war in general. Me becoming what I consider to be a failure in life.

If time travel were to be achieved, it would imply predetermined fate, which is not the case, as we are all given free will to make decisions and choices. (We already know this, as even as much as choosing the clothes we will wear in the morning portrays how we've all got the power to choose) Imagine if you were, to say, go back in time to meet your 'previous self'.. Put yourself in your 'previous self's' shoes and you have a 'future you', going back in time. Now imagine, yourself in the present, a 'future you' goes back to you... Everything that your 'future self' has experienced or done, is what you will do in the distant future sometime.. What has happened to the 'future self' will happen to you too, once the right time comes for that particular situation. You would think, that as your 'future self' is warning you about your future that you need to change, you'd be able to quickly change your decision and it'll be all 'Happily ever after'. This is, however, not the case as a 'future self',already, visiting you shows that one's fate has already been determined the moment they were born.

That can get pretty complicated fast.. Also, time travel is controlling time itself, which is 'playing God'.. Therefore, I'm fairly sure it'll never happen.:hmm:

The clone thing, that's also 'Playing God'.. You can't simply just create another human with the exact features, DNA, attitudes, behaviour, personality, beliefs, etc of an already existing human, or a new human for that matter, unless you were God.

On another note, imagine just a 'copy and paste' machine but for humans. Lol That might work.:snick:

Eh, that's just my two cents. Feel free to have a differing opinion. Lol

We can already clone animals, why not humans? Sure they have a lot of defects and end up dying but we can do it, still.

So... you see no problem with cloning...

 

[Transcendence]

I doubt those will ever happen.
... But.. If it were possible, I'd fear people making dinosaurs.(Jurassic Park) Lol

Cloning is already a thing.

But time travel is fundamentally impossible with the known physical laws of the universe.

 

[SIR HERDERP PRESIDERP SDO]

Being drafted into a world war.

Run to the Himalayas! :hyper:

Time travel would only be possible if people could withstand speeds beyond the speed of light. Which is impossible. Sorry, time travel fanatics.
I fear being unable to find happiness or slipping mentally.

 

[NaNaNaaaaa]

Total loss of religion and morality

 

[NineSNS]

Another asteroid

The collapse of the world economy

Sharia law in North America

Alzheimer's disease

first of all you cant go faster than light. thats a fact. light is a constant in our universe. second, even if we could, the speed itself would be no problem for us humans. speed doesnt affect us whatsoever.(except for the fact that by going at the speed of light everything around you would be like frozen and not moving. time would go different for you than for your surrounding....) acceleration does however. we can feel acceleration, and it can harm our body. but we cant feel speed. but yea all of this doesnt matter anyway, since nothing with mass can actually reach the speed of light. you would need an infinity amount of energy to reach the speed of light, but even if you actually did that, all you would gain would be mass instead of speed. just saying^^

 

[RasenUchihaChaos]

Me breaking my shell and becoming what I once was

 

[YowYan]

Total loss of religion and morality

haha that cracked me up Lol

 

[Izou Xaxa]

Extreme justice for example if you throw something on the ground and not in the rubish you walk into prison
I also fear that they are too many rules

 

[NaNaNaaaaa]

haha that cracked me up Lol

Glad you found it funny...:hmm:

 

[RicardoA]

I cannot fear what i do not know. Since i can't see or know what will happen in the future, i don't know what to fear, only imagine. But i prefer to focus on what's actually happening.

 

[Floydical]

What do you fear the most about the future? As in the discoveries that are going to destroy humanity.

The 2 things I fear are cloning and time travel. Just imagine. Someone could make a brainwashed clone of you, kill you, and replace you with the clone and noone would notice the difference. Everyone around you could be fake.
Time travel would allow one to control the entire words by reshaping history how they please. They could change one thing and bam you never existed.

So what do you fear the most in the future?

Time travel is nothing to fear. Considering things like WW2 are still history strongly implies no time travel will ever be invented; at least not by a person that would want Hitler to be killed. That is, if you believe there is this one reality and no other. The scenario you create for clones is comparable to AI I suppose. It would only become truly dangerous if done on a large scale.

The thing I fear, or more accurately am anxious for, is the discovery of alien life and the traveling to different solar systems. It would be far beyond our lifetimes, but colonizing new planets will be a very arduous task.

 

[Dannie]

Going bald.

 

[Kαmi]

Not being able to live my life to its full potential. Like dying early, becoming crippled physically or mentally, going to jail, things like that.
