My grandad sailed tankers carrying aviation fuel for the allies, which meant he spent the 6 years of WW2 being chased all over the world by U-boats. He saw lots of horrific stuff, like tankers in his convoy being torpedoed and vanishing in seconds. He had a rotten war. But despite this, he always said that war advances technology by decades, in a very short space of time… In peace time, everybody focuses their efforts on domestic squabbling over trivia and fiction, meaning technology advances very slowly.

What is kinda terrifying is having recently learned how incubators have developed. Between improvements to help increasingly premature infants and biologist making incubators so they can visually observe zygote development, some are estimating we could incubate a human being from conception to birth in about 8 to 10 years. All a government would need to compete in a supersolder arms race is quietly obtain donated eggs and sperm and raise batches of experimental humans in secret. Of course this is still lagistacly difficult to do in secret, but the fact that it entirely possible in the next few decades is insane.

The Spirit of Truth should arrive soon. John 16: 7-15. Lucifer and Satan were judged by the Ancients of Days far from Earth in 1985. The devil and dragon remain on Earth. Their judgement is set for 10/12/26 -- one heavenly hour after Lucifer refused mercy. They fully expect to absolve themselves of blame by proving Mankind Unfit for God's Kingdom with WAR. Every desperate nation, tribe, and peoples for themselves . . . in the Name of GAUD -- Grand Architect of Ur Destruction. "After all," the devil argues, "Jesus, Himself, tried to teach these beasts to love one another 1,992 years ago -- almost two full days in Heaven. Surely, the ancients of Days will judge Man at fault. Or Jesus. Not Me." The devil is delusional, Daniel 7: 9-14. But over 93% of men and women are nearly deaf and blind spiritually. That's NORMAL.

Its called explosively pumped EMP. Pretty rad niche info Might be useful against a robot uprising. Just damage their faraday cage with guns perhaps then use such easy to manufacture emp bomb lmao

And once we've made these super soldiers, what do we do with them once the war is over? I thin there have been several movies and books about this and most of them don't end well for the rest of us.

I have wanted this topic to be explored so badly. I know so many people have strong emotions about this, but in all reality this is a amazing achievement of human capabilities, health care, human attributes, we can work through any trial and error to gain so much benefits from this field of science. And this won't spread like a virus, these things can only directly effect the people who have children after the gene editing. And even then, it's not 100% that that gene will transfer and be active in your baby when passed from the parent. The mom has the dad has another. So it's very much more likely that the original crisper embryo would gain the added Gene's, and then if a family lineage builds off of that individual, then it's more likely that in that family lineage throughout the generations will have some random individuals in that bloodline with those active genes in them. It can be very helpful. Honestly, life in general is very risky. Just naturally reproducing organisms have a very likely chance that their children could have a medical condition... So in all seriousness, we're not really altering much, if anything, if things get advanced, we could be actually increasing the likelihood of healthy reproduction. Alternatively, say this was never a situation, the bar of standard was stuck at a pretty low point, with medical issues being highly common. So the bar isn't super high level and we're irresponsibly tossing that out the window. Also, last point. This will only be an option for very very very few people in all reality. Either, the richest of the rich, or select individuals that agree towards trials and study's that they would probably follow the individual as they grow and see how things are, do tests, see if certain things are doing well and equally if things are not doing well, so it's going to take a long time to get this zoned in and calibrated but once our knowledge and understand of it and the make up of our genes and how they are activated, etc. It could greatly improve our species as a whole but probably the biggest factor in the far far future is "those who have advanced Gene's and those who happened to not have them?" But it's always something like that in nature, be in high altitude adaptive people, free diving swimmers, endurance athletes, people with the Hercules gene that allows them to naturally have more muscle than normal people. So it's just a matter of keeping the right goals and perspective on this. It's potentially one of the greatest chapters in our evolution since we've gotten to this era of our timeline.

I’m reminded of a Voyager episode where B’lanna Torres was captured by silver robots and made to try to figure out how to build compatible power cores so they could start creating new robots. She almost succeeds but is rescued before she can. And it’s revealed that the silver robots are fighting an almost identical version of bronze coloured robots in a war against each other. Then it’s revealed that both groups of robots were created for a war between two alien factions to fight for them. But when the aliens wanted peace, for the war to end, the robots now saw them as the enemy and both factions were made extinct by their own robot armies. Then the silver and bronze robots resumed their war against each other. Pointless war. Just because they were programmed. The only thing is that they can’t make new versions of themselves because their biological creators made the power units very hard to build. Beyond the capability of the robots themselves. So without the ability to “reproduce” eventually the silver or bronze version will eventually win. I guess after that the victor version would find someone else to fight until eventually someone wipes them out too. There are times when I wonder if we’ll end up like that.

Why mess with the genetics of an unknown human, when you could edit the genes of a known human and enhance what's already there. Without giving the plot of the book away (because it's one of my favorites, blending humor and suspense in a way the MCU has mastered before Ironman ever hit theatre's), 60 year olds are expected to enlist into the military and then live the next 20 years as they normally would. Once they turn 80, they wake up in their genetically modified 20 year old bodies. They then go off to fight the world's enemies around the universe.

That way it can make an optimal system with each part of the new "dual conciousness" supplementing the caveats of the other. And will allow for multiple "thinkings" ( not "thoughts", brain can already do that. Something like considering two conceptually unrelated things at the same time ) to be done at the same time parallely, like the way multi-core processors work nowadays. Problem would be the question of *the individuality* and the ownership of the thoughts. If another conciousness is involved in the thought process, is it really the same person thinking? Or is there one person at all? I think that it could still be considered the same person ( as much as a person is the person he was a minute ago is ), just extended. Computers are already doing it to us. Our Smart Phones are extensions of our own mind, seing that we use them to ofload part of our thinking. They are involved in making our discisions more than we give them credit for. But I am just an arm-chair man imagining stuff up, so it might as well not be :-)

@Kavinu Nethsara Koswattage No, Neuro Link works on giving your brain more computational power(and memory) to be able to keep up with AI(when it is powerful enough). It doesn't need AI at all. That would be counter-intuitive. And phones do work like that. They give us the mental power to use our brain for things that are not memorising-related.

"Give war a chance" ;) Red sun Red sun over paradise Red sun Red sun over paradise Golden rays of the glorious sunshine Sending down such a blood-red light Now the animals slowly retreat To the shadows out of sight Arid winds blow across the mountains Giving flight to the birds of prey In the distance machines come To transform Eden day by day Only love is with us now Something warm and pure Find the peace within ourselves No need for a cure When the wind is slow And the fire's hot The vulture waits to see what rots Oh how pretty All the scenery This is nature's sacrifice When the air blows through With a brisk attack The reptile tail ripped from its back When the sun sets We will not forget the Red sun over paradise Red sun

Always the the best videos I watch them all the time great content

This man has kept me sane for months!! Thank you Thoughty2!! 😃

There's a type of armor for a foot soldier that offers more protection than bullet resistant vest or helmet. It makes it easier to scale various buildings, walls, or other such structures, make it more efficient to cross creeks, swamps and some other bodies of water. Offer better operation under hot sunny conditions or when in winter. The Swiss Army knife of body protection. Interestingly the military did use such an item, yet impressive as it was, they used it completely wrong. If slightly modified and used differently it would offer an immensely more opportunity for protection. It would offer safer protection in urban, forest, snow, fields, the majority of battle conditions.

In the future, we will likely see the UN and other groups passing laws and legislations, conventions, etc. that there has to be a certain ratio of human soldiers/operators to autonomous combatants involved in any military, police, or relief operations. That being said, amplifying the human animal seems to be another method in keeping human combatants viable in modern and post-modern warfare. This is already being done with the recent developments in exo-skeletons, augmented reality implementation, genetic conditioning, and improved/dynamic training regiments. TL;DR: Future wars will be fought by a combination of autonomous robotic drones/satellites as well as augmented human soldiers.

Probably the same thing here, but instead of breeding super soldiers, we'd be getting super athletes or something.

I dont think it's viable, cloning your most decorated soldier is more likely to happen. And then you have to train them from birth, so the costs will be insane. Lucas' vision in Star Wars is more likely to happen. Robots on the battlefield first (already happening with drones) followed by clones.

Thoughty2, please do the world a favor and kick that mustache game up to 10. I know a "Thoughty2 lvl 10 mustache" will solve everything.... well at least everyone who is blessed with its magnificence...

This beautiful film and especially its unmanned airplanes reminds me of a story I was once told: that two kings fought out their differences on the chessboard, instead of on the field. Nobody died. I can imagine a far future where two future kings, queens, or anything in between will fight out their differences with unmanned chessboards. Nobody died. Both scenarios are the only two scenarios where I can see the beauty in 'war.'

"periods in history just have seen large amounts of conflict have traditionally catalyzed huge leaps forward in technology" That's not necessary for technological advancements. Also these days people from many developing countries have greater resources to research than they previously did. By that logic, we'll make better progress without war.

Yeah this subject drives me insane…. The process of naturally evolving the genetic code over thousands of years is slow for a reason. We could discover methods to make someone immune to illness with one alteration that seems to have nothing but pros and no cons. Just to find out hundreds of years later that there was an unrealized consequence that we weren’t aware of until the entire human species is trapped in a bad situation because it was considered “safe” and “harmless” editing for a hundred years already. Things like this don’t show the full consequences in a 12 year clinical trial. It’ll eradicate an entire species after a thousand. Of course then we’ll just edit again and again and again to eliminate the next undesirable trait…. Losing track of our starting point and introducing so many unknowns and variables it would be impossible to determine at which point we made a bad edit. You don’t have to be religious to understand this is stupid… humans don’t have the patience for this kind of science, nor are we historically responsible enough for it.
