Most of our technological progress has to do with manipulating matter at a fairly simple level. biology is way more complicated than physics is, and we're very not good right now at manipulating it. Still enormos ond room to go in the physic side of things, building better computers. I'll be dead, unless biologists cure aging, ind which maybe a case i'll be around.
Welcome to the August 2022 Ask Me Anything episode of Mindscape! These monthly excursions are funded by Patreon supporters (who are also the ones asking the questions). We take questions asked by Patreons, whittle them down to a more manageable number — based primarily on whether I have anything interesting to say about them, not whether the questions themselves are good — and sometimes group them together if they are about a similar topic.
Here is a link to the Mindscape Big Picture Scholarship. Please consider donating!
