what social issues do you think we'll be talking about in 15 to 20 years I was
kinda reviewing what we talked about in 2013
thinking about our 2014 resolutions and I have a few ideas there was something
about somebody's of it %um
in 15 to 20 years I believe human genetic engineering will be a big
social ethical discussion what is acceptable what should we be allowed to
do in terms of Engineering humans
before they're born or even in making modifications once they are alive
I think that human genetic engineering combined with the population growth will
continue
is going to creator force some very real conversations
about the ethics have long life if we do see
continued increases in life expectancy which we are not seeing in all countries
around the world by the way
but if we do see that in part because if human genetic engineering
can you get life extension treatments at any age
is there a certain point at which because of overpopulation
we would have to say you know if you're over X X age
you can't get certain treatments that are now available that i think is going
to be an issue
prison reform are we going to finally get some kinda real prison
reform in discussion above prison as a social issue in the next 15 to 20 years
hopefully
I maybe human genetic engineering will allow the
and are now deprogramming I have the parts if someone's brain that makes them
commit crime or something I mean I say it somewhat facetiously but I think
there may be a connection there in terms of rehabilitation
and what that means also I'm hoping
there'll be a broader discussion at the inefficiency of the nine to five job
we've talked a lot about
the inherent inefficiencies of people commuting from all over
to go into this little room from nine to five for 40 hours a week is this really
the best way of working is the best for
the individuals is it best for that the company
and there are some countries that are already thinking about this a little bit
more
critically also Louis one of our most popular clips on YouTube
robot sex orgasms extending human life
there are going to be issues about I think within 20 years
%uh robot prostitution and that's going to be much like the internet created a
huge
upside down situation in terms of how the internet is used in what the laws
are
I think once robot sexism or common thing is gonna be some questions there
that are going to need to be hashed out
yeah I think I think you've pretty much wrapped it up I'd like to think that in
15 to 20 years will will kinda be over
the the abortion stuff okay well that was my next thing will we be talking
about abortion teaching of sexuality in schools and marriage equality
homosexuality in 15 to 20 years
I hope not are yeah
I don't know I think I think income inequality
is going to be a big *** I think we're going to see
I think we're gonna see that get worse BRS
I so I i think we've wrapped it up pretty nicely
and again income inequality not on my list because
ike albeit interesting it considered more than economic issue
but the effects avitar obviously social so it really is also a social issue and
what will be done in the next 15 to 20 years about income inequality
will we go the way I have dystopian novels
or will we go the way over more equitable society
with a stronger bigger middle-class
or not that does it for our last show
