Humans in the Future

[sealybobo]

Will we be a lot smarter?

In the 20th century, IQ scores increased steadily, but some scientists believe that this trend may have ended or even reversed

What about living longer? Yes, it's projected that humans will live longer in the future

Humans could potentially live to be much older than they do today, with some estimates suggesting that the maximum human lifespan could be as long as 150 years

I still think humans will be much smarter than we are today just because we are still a very superstitious war prone species. Even still, we're a lot better than we were 100 or 500 or 5000 years ago.

According to current scientific understanding, we use 100% of our brains; the idea that we only use 10% is a myth. Brain imaging technologies show that all parts of the brain are active, even if different regions are more engaged depending on the activity we are doing.

I really hope we do away with capitalism, communism, and every other ism that requires us to waste $200,000 going to school and then 45 years working 9 hours a day 5 days a week. What are we doing? I could be fishing. Or practicing guitar. Or camping out somewhere. At the gym. Sleeping in. On my boat.

If you want a boat, you may have to go work for it. Earn it. Or maybe the community has some public boats and you just sign one out. Is this communism? If there is no need for humans to work and we can live better lives doing whatever we want, why not move to whatever ISM that is? It's not communism. It's AI and automation doing everything for us. I want a life life robot who is in essence my slave/servant/lover/friend/chef/massuse/doctor/ass wiper/toe nail clipper/maid/butler/driver. And everyone can have one. Wouldn't it be wonderful?

In College, the Student Is Forced to Live Like a Child. So He Graduates with the Mind of a Child.

In College, the Student Is Forced to Live Like a Child. So He Graduates with the Mind of a Child.

In a lot of ways very true. My nephew is pretty mature he graduated and is going to law school. All his friends who graduated and are now at work are super depressed. They're all up at MSU right now for the Ohio State game getting drunk and jerking each other off. God I miss those days. But myself personally, I like just going to work for 9 hours, plus a half hour drive both ways, let's call it 10 hours at work. 14 hours to do anything I want. If I sleep 7 hours that gives me 7 hours to fuck around. I love being an adult.

But I make good money and I'm a sink. Single Income No Kids. We got it easy. I think there will be more of us in the future. With AI real life automated robot slave women, women will have to pay us for our sperm. We have internet porn now and young boys are all virgins or have ED today. Imagine once we have a Pam Anderson android. Or Pam Anderson Apple robot which is better than the android version.

Yes, testosterone levels in men are declining, and there are several factors that may contribute to this decline:

Exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) may be contributing to the decline in testosterone levels. EDCs are found in many everyday products, including plastics.

• Recent Pew research indicates that over 60% of young men are currently single.

• A recent Pew Research study suggests a tectonic shift in the dating and sex life of men. The study found that among men under 30 years old, over 60 percent are single, almost double that of women in the same age bracket.
• 
  
• As young women continued to pursue intimate relationships less intently post-pandemic, men could have increased their relationship skills to close the effort gap. They could have confronted their relative avoidance and challenged the gender norms that made them so anxious about intimacy.
  
  
  They appear to have done the opposite, turning even further away from real-life relationships and into the virtual world.

Whose IQ scores ? IQ scores have been thrown out decades ago as a measure of intellect…..few if any “ scientist” either use them or believe them as a measure of general intellect.

Isn't it obvious? Have you seen young kids lately buried in their phones? They have shorter attention spans now. Can't watch a 2 hour movie.

Yes, fewer people are going to college in the United States, and the trend is expected to continue

Do you doubt social media is making people dumber? Lying to them/us/you? Misinformed or uninformed?

How about reality tv and podcasts?

It doesn't surprise me if we are getting dumber. LOL.

But I was hoping we only used 10% of our brains and in 1000's of years we'd use more and be much smarter but it turns out that's not true. We use 100% of our brains.

The more AI and computers and automation do for us, the dumber we get. Look how most people can't do what our ancestors did. Hunt, gut a deer, make a fire, build a shelter, cat a fish, etc. In some ways we're dumber than our 1800 ancestors.

Collectively we are smarter but individually, not so much. Thank god for the 1% who run most of our infrastructure.

Still, we are smart enough not to use IQ scores. That’s improvement. If there are fewer people going to colleges, it’s for one reason, it’s too fking expensive. On average, college grads earn significantly more that HS grads. Not even close. And there is such a strong labor shortage drawing students Into the labor job market without college. Still, they will an average never make as much.

When we grew up, our plumber dad's wanted us to go to college and be white collar. It's amazing to me to see the masses now settling for blue collar jobs because they can't afford college. Yes they can. If it means $35K more a year, first go to community colleges and then only have to pay $40,000 for the last two years. And you don't have to finish in 4 years. Maybe you have to work too so it takes you 10 years. You're 28 and now making $35K more a year than if you didn't.

But maybe that's not true. Plumbers make good money. If that's your thing, go be a plumber. But most people who WANT to go to college don't want to be plumbers. You guys are acting like people who want to go to college are the plumber types. And visa versa. They aren't. You know the kids who are meant to be plumbers.

I heard something interesting this morning while watching a show on Psychopaths. They were talking about nature vs nurture. I have no doubt in my mind people who are firefighters and police were born to be the way they are. And some people are born timid and meek. I was born not good at math. Where some kids excelled at it. They just grasped it easier/quicker.

You know what else pays good? Doctor. Your kid should go be a doctor. But even if it were FREE, I would fail at it. And I doubt i'd be a good plumber aside from my crack.

Still, plumbing and electrical work are highly physical with a limited time frame.

I.Q. tests are based mostly on accumulated knowledge. I.Q. levels have been falling since the federal education system morphed into Social Services. Putting a condom on a banana became more important than learning the times tables. Factor in video games replacing books and it's a recipe for dumbing down America.

No they aren’t. They only test what the test asks for. No one uses them anymore except to entice the poorly informed to pretend they mean shit.

If your implying that general intelligence is measurable you’re wrong. The so called IQ tests only measure specific skills.

Also, this reminds me of the Bush crash. Suddenly Obama is giving people who lost their jobs money to go back to get retrained in something else. So a lot of women went for medical billing. So many they deluded the market. It lowered pay and women couldn't find work. Do we want to do that to plumbers? I'm sure plumbers are saying "hey shut the fuck up. I like being busy".

Huh ? We are in dire need of medical personnel. So much so, the positions are being filled by foreign nations. Getting US citizens trained and educated into the job market should be a priority. You delusional think private industry leads the way in training ? Hardly.
