Poll of the Day > What are five things you hope to see in your lifetime?

(+) Yeah! (+)

End of racial inequality. Weve come so far since the days of slavery and yet, we have so much more progress to be made.

End of the American two-party political system. For people to vote on how they feel the country should go, not just how their political party says it should go.

Halleys Comet. Supposedly its a sight to behold.

Earth from outer space. Been spending so much time looking up at the night sky lately and imaging life on Mars, the moon, and other planets. Would just be nice to see it in reverse.

A cure for Alzheimers, Dimentia, Schizophrenia, Cancers, Luekemia, etc. I dont want to be old and not remember anything or be tricked by my mind into seeing what isnt real. Its be cool to someday come home from the hospital and be just like good news everyone! Its only cancer. Ill be fine in two weeks, three tops!

Universal American healthcare
Legalization of marijuana in United States
Reduction of police brutality and discrimination
Affordable college

Death of the Sun.

Human interstellar colonization and viable terraforming (which could be used to improve the Earth as well)

The revival of dinosaurs, possibly in a park setting of some kind, along with newly created creatures.

A new unlimited energy source

A way to control/reverse aging so humans could live thousands of years. And that ability would eradicate countless diseases.

idk, superpowers? Coming up with 5 things is tough

What would this even look like to you? If you're talking about equality of opportunity, we're more or less there on the grounds of race If you're talking about equality of outcome, that's an unreasonable standard.

Not for a couple hundred millennia at least.

I'm pretty sure there was at least one movie about this and it didn't end well for anyone.

People treating others fairly, from a philosophical, psychological, and sociopolitical standpoint. Just people treating others like they'd want to be treated. This leads into the equal sexes and proper wages bit, but that's too soon and likely never to happen given common greed.

Full Dive VR
Be able to record dreams and play them on a computer as well as retrieve past dreams
Full Dive into the dreams-Since there is quite a few of them I wouldn't mind re-visiting.
Full Dive VR game of Pokemon, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon(Would pick to play as Ninetales and probably have two partners being Espeon & Lucario). and Zoids.
And possible confirming whether or not parallel worlds exist or not.

1. a Pokmon game that has all regions, this more than likely would be for the switch.
2. the Philadelphia Flyers winning another Stanley Cup.
3. winning a big lottery.
4. seeing Aurora Borealis.
5. an end to human and animal cruelty

Probably wont happen. Hell futurist where calling for that 30 years ago as being a thing. Meanwhile people are working 50+ hours a week to survive. It might be a thing for yuppies, along with the concept of retirement still being around. But for the working/lower classes the 40 hour week is vanishing just like the concept of a single income supporting household.

It would probably be a fan game for the PC, since Nintendo/Gamefreaks would never do a full set of regions and, of course, they keep adding more. Unless they do a MMO, I guess.

So a 5-hour work day? Oo

Seems like it'd be a tremendous waste for skilled professions as well as resulting in a lower quality in many fields.

A proper remake of Resident Evil 2 and 3.

A Spirit-R RX-7.

Thats all I care to mention.

I think theres enough inefficiencies in both the workday and training that would allow more work to get done and more people to enter...at the cost of high salaries. There could even still be some professions that keep the their 60h a week roles. Id like to see modern education go away and get back into a more classical education for degrees and apprenticeships for jobs.

I know Im only paid well because we have a few hundred new graduate degrees given a year and artificially limit the field to about 100 new people a year.

Simple things:

1. Parts of the world. - I'd love to travel.
2. Seeing the people I care about be happy
3. I want to develop mind control
4. Get ripped
5. Eternal life.
