I like to imagine our modern cancer treatments would be considered primitive in the future.

>>73990291
Three things occur.

1: better diagnostic tools. Imaging systems that make it possible to look into a patient's body. Foreign bodies, parasites, cysts, micro-cancers... all detectable in the GP's office.

2: better surgical tools. custom fabricated devices that allow an entire operation to be performed while barely breaking the skin of a patient. Tools that are generated inside the body of a patient and break down automatically after the operation is complete.

3, and this is the big one: better human bodies. You think the anti-vaxers are terrified now? Wait until genetically engineered micro-cultures and implanted immune systems start getting added to people. Imagine the rich-poor divide when the rich can live forever with bulletproof skin and the ability to regenerate from any injury. You could keep humanity at baseline. It's what we're doing in real life. We've collectively said FUCK THAT to human genetic engineering. But that doesn't mean that similar techniques in the future won't be more palatable to future generations.

AI may have taken over most forms of diagnosis.
The choice of medication and dosage today is largely "trial and terror". This will hopefully have been refined considerably, using age, gender, a full DNA scan, and various other measurements to get a highly refined starting point.
Anything resembling routine surgery is done by robots. Advanced such may or may not have been handed over to AI. If not the combination of keyhole surgery tools and all the robotics in place for the common stuff means a lot of the advanced stuff will be done remotely.
Possibly greatly miniaturized tools for finer work when we no longer need to work with human hands?
Much more DNA therapy. More probiotic treatments.
Bacteriophages is one of those things that have been "around the corner" for quite a while now. Maybe it'll never work out, but it's certainly possible as a SciFi technology. Works well thematically with the custom tailoring of medication, since it seems good effects rely on precise matching of a cocktail of different viruses to kill any specific strain of bacteria.
Possibly artificial antibody production or other such "designer molecules on demand"?
In the case of widespread use of AI and robotics humans may be kept around simply because human interaction is good for out health.

And all said and done doctors wills till be trying to get their patients to stop smoking, eat less and exercise more. How successful they are in this will likely also matter more than all the other stuff.

>They just, what irradiated the entire body?
>Yes, our ancestors were limited by their knowledge and thus made barbaric by it, but do not exaggerate their failings. The radiotherapy treatments focused gamma rays on confirmed defective cells and destroyed them. And in the process destroying other cells.
>But it changed with Just-In-Time imaging and creation of aggregated rays.
>True, the former allowed for greater resolution, and the latter for greater accuracy.
>And we learn of ancient techniques because?
>The same reason why we learn about bodily landmarks in surgery. Redundancy and experience.

>>73990477
That's a bold claim. Comparing ancient times where you had to slice a body all the way open to get to the damaged areas, to modern techniques where you can make a tiny incision and do surgery through robotic tools traversing veins.

Compare herbs of the past to modern medicine.

Compare RNA cellular modification for disease resistance to even the hugely modern vaccinations that only arose in 1796, a scant two hundred and twenty four years ago.

Why do you think "nothing has changed"?

>>73990667
Sorry I'm running off 24 hours of no sleep, I meant that in the future, medicine will not change at all and will likely become worse.

>>73990887
Any grounds for that reasoning? There's already literally due to this pandemic development of RNA based vaccines, which has significant differences over current biological-based vaccines.

Regenerative medicine is going to be huge. I imagine there would be something like full-body 3D printers that could print tissue based on a patient's own DNA so that it will be recognized by the body. Being able to regrow body parts is one of the Holy Grails of medicine and has been for thousands of years, with vast amounts of funding and effort expended on it. We might see real results on it soon, sooner than 150 years, maybe even sooner than 50 years.

Fuck yes.

I think it was found that you need something like a 21 cm layer to negate cosmic radiation?

Anon this shit is very very real. No handwavium here.

>>73992640
Due to the dangers presented by the mould you'd likely have to have it in a heavily sealed layer in the hull. Don't want it growing out of control after all
So you'd likely never know its there.

>>73992678
>Don't want it growing out of control after all
ah but you see that's exactly what i want, the ayys will fear the moss fleet

>>73992678
I'm talking handwavium involving needing a thinner layer of moss for some random spaceship design/function requirement that may come up.

>>73992697
Exposure to lots of fungal spores rarely ends well for humans since our lungs are a great place for fungus to grow.
Plus you can't grow it on the external layer of the hull.

>>73992710
Is 20 or so centimetres really that much?

>>73992723
>Is 20 or so centimetres really that much?
I know that spaceship design can be really demanding on size and makeup. For all I know, the necessity of the sealed space for it to grow could cause serious problems for breaking atmosphere or otherwise cause a large spike in ship making cost.. I just like to play safe than sorry when dealing with things I only have passing knowledge of.

>>73992754
>>73992723
>>73992710
Honestly, if the estimates are true, the cost of including the 20cm gap would be vastly exceeded by the cost of getting other radiation measures into orbit. One of the good things about moss is, it grows. You can launch it with a sample and grow the moss enroute, thus saving launch mass. Additionally, the moss itself appears to not be radioactive after, so that's a secondary benefit - you don't have to replace the moss as much as you would other hull materials.

I'm amazed that only 21 cm is needed, to be honest. Moss isn't dense and I'd have thought gamma radiation would go right through that without stopping.

Personally, I'm fond of ripping off Blindsight and making them see our treatment of multiple personalities disorder (trying to cure it, calling it a disorder, etc) equivalent to how our ancestors viewed and treated homosexuality.

The thing is that the moss eats it.
The moss performs radiosynthesis. Converting gamma radiation into energy for growth.
You could probably genetically engineer a version that provides a nutritional supplement or some other useful function once grown.

>>73994368
The CCP won't allow it.
They'll instead pursue a caste system that implements it.
So basically it'll be reserved for party loyalists.

In order for the moss to eat it, the moss has to actually interact with the gamma radiation it first. If the moss isn't dense enough it'd just go right through. That's what I'm amazed at.

>>73995165
I wouldn't be so declarative about exactly what they will do, but I think that you're probably right in this first being implemented with loyalist families just due to initial implementation cost.
Either way it is gonna be a fucking astronomical amount of people compared to any remaining competition at that point. In one generation they would have the West's entire "elite educated" alumni replicated just from this program. That's a massive advantage, especially considering the only real advantage the west has over CCP at this point is intellectual capital and military might.

>>73995313
>Either way it is gonna be a fucking astronomical amount of people compared to any remaining competition at that point

Chemo doesn't irradiate the whole body, there's different kinds. Radiation therapy is targeted to a specific region via an implant beneath the skin while Chemodrugs are essentially poison and are used to kill off abnormal cell clumps while also causing damage to the vessels surrounding it.

Genetics is going gangbusters. Custom-made organism purpose built with only feint traces of their original species or an obvious combination of a dozen or more creatures. As intelligent as they need to be, with a pre-disposed personality made to order.
The cows will graze themselves and keep off the roads, gorge at the feedlot when they're old enough, and then walk themselves up to the slaughterhouse. North Koreans will likely behave in a similar fashion.

The ruling class will likely have their life extended. We'll figure out how to keep telemers from snapping themselves off like they do in Lobsters. We'll co-opt the immune system of whales to deal with cancer. They'll have as much muscle and body fat as they want without having to do anything. Their metabolism will let whatever excess pass through without absorbing it.
So we'll have gluttons that are in peak physical shape. And they'll shit out completely undigested food slurry.

Gene therapy will let this advances affect those alive instead of just the super-babies born with it. Although purpose made super-babies will dominate industries. From physical labor, space exploration/colonization, to academics.

On the downside, we'll have custom-made plagues. Like let's say a nation is facing dire consequences of their aging populous getting all up in arms wanting to live forever with modern medicine, but being too old and frail to contribute anything. They can make a plague that leaves kids alone but kills off the elderly. Of course, the elderly are the ones in charge of most countries. Imagine just what a horror show that would be.

I'd argue that there is more intellectualism occurring in the west than anywhere else. We just also have a culture build around the stupid being allowed to voice their opinions very loudly, and then getting elected to political office and having a say. The really smart people are too busy working on their shit. There is simply too many people not to have intellectual growth. The difference is that until 50 years ago, advancements as big as we make on a daily basis were logarithmic in scale. Pasteurization, penicillin, the metal cartridge, the microprocessor, etc. These were foundational advancements that, compared to today's tech, are very simple to accomplish. But because we have that foundation, we get to enjoy working from that foundation, making everything easier. And everything builds on itself too, making those advancements seem easier each time.

In places like china, sure, you have a huge government process that is throwing billions of dollars a day at problems. eventually something is going to get done, ala monkeys on typewriters. Here in the west though, we have the freedom that some smart dude with too much time on is hands is going to beat a multi billion dollar government contract to the punch working out of his garage.

The CimaVax-EGF (the vaccine you're talking about) only treats non-small-cell lung carcinoma's, which are the more survivable ones and it's not a cure so much as it helps with treatment and improves survivability. The issue with cancer vaccines is that cancer has many MANY different types and it would take many decades, possibly centuries, to developed vaccines for all of them.

There's the reason I quoted 'number one problem'. You know about the tragedy of the commons, correct? Where humanity will never really be in balance because everyone's gonna want just one more sheep for their own flock? Now scale that up. We're in a situation where we need to think about the long-term sustainability of Earth. And someone who's mortal will never really think about the far long term with the seriousness of an immortal.
There's death to think about, and the possible ramifications of dying. But if medical immortality is reached, the only thing the elite/those that benefit have to deal with is assassination, accidents, and maybe disease. Without the moral, mortal peril of age and weakness, it becomes infinitely easier to treat people like tools or numbers expending resources instead of people.
A lot of elites already see people like that, thanks to the perfect storm of nihilistic materialism (which treats humans like expendable animals for whom individual experience does not matter) and crony capitalism (which assumes no value to anyone other than for what they can do for you).

You think so? A platform where 'everyone gets what they deserve, kill the third-worlders and take their stuff to prove your superiority' doesn't appeal to fascists? I think it will, but it just has to be properly presented to each group they're going to try and recruit.

The ONLY major problem for the amoral bigwigs is that it's still cheaper and more efficient to exploit third-worlders than it is to put down robot harvesters to replace them.

This does not stop with the Chinese. The main benefit of being a rural citizen is that you have to wait for the world to provide you with your investments instead of running after money. I feel it myself- the eternal lure of fast money.
The perennial answer to the question "Why do you need so much money anyway?" made by the powerful is "If I don't make it, then someone else will." And they are sadly correct.

In moderation, nothing. But once they have enough, they pretty much rise above the state in terms of power.

>>73997609
It's not hard to understand.
The Chinese are a very extreme example but you see this behaviour at near all levels of Chinese society.
Basically throughout its history China has been in a perpetual state of lowkey famine. It's not so much been a case of "In these years there was a famine" more a case of "In these years the famine was this bad"

This has baked itself into Chinese cultural norms and likely instincts too. So whenever resources are available you take them. You take them all. Because if you don't then someone else will.
As there was never enough food or other resources to go around if you tried to ensure everyone got a fair share of what was available then nobody would have enough.

>>73998417
As long as you have enough of the right kinds of resources to live a comfortable life, you don't need to rely on the kindness of the rich.

And just like we look at body changing they used to do in the middle ages doctors from 150 years from now will look at how we did it. Shoving bags of jell under the skin, cutting of genitals and going doctor frankenstein on the wound are quite crude from a technical point of view to say the least.

>What futuristic tools will they have, "realistically"?
Cybernetics, proteus retroviruse, nanomachines, bush bots, gene-editited bacterias, bionic organs, bush bots, nanosymbionts and other things. I imagine that being healthy in the mid 22th century will be quite different compared to what we see as healthy today, especially if we hop on the transhuman train. Even modern medicine tries to not just cure people but to give them more life quality, in the future we all would qualify as sick because none of us were genetically engineered, got nanomachines in their blood/integrated into their cells or got cybernetics. None of us got a retroviral bath in a exowomb to make us young and immortal. Future medicine will be quite wild.

The biggest issue with human augmentation is the growing gap between the rich and poor. Coupled with automatization your common baseline will not be able to compete with augmented rich or get access to the necessary enhancements. That's why I see a cardinal importance of establishing a Universal Health Care System that does not just seeks to treat people but to enable and enhance them. A society will benefit immensely if its children will all be born healthy, fit and smart and if it let's no potential go wasted by enabling anyone to have access to good cybernetic and nanotechnological treatments. In developed nations this might work out, but then the already existing gap between rich and poor countries will grow even larger. In 100 years a common european or japanese will differ fundamentally from anyone that grow up in a third world.
Just like the computer, cars or penicillin at first the rich will be the users, but the rules of demand/supply will enable anyone to get augmentations.
>I would not benefit from this in any fashion.
Oh you would, especially in regards to medical treatments. Most diseases, even aging will become treatable. The costs for augmentations will not stay high, especially biological ones will see a fast decline in prize thanks to CRISPR. The first Ford of human augmentation will become a trillionaire, augmentations won`t stay a product for the rich - it will become avaible to the masses a decade or two after hitting the market, sooner than what happened to the car and computers. In 2060 you might afford yourself nanosymbiont treatment, that keeps you healthy, rejuvinates you a bit, enhances your physique and gives you a better focus.

>>73990291
Preventative care will be taken much more seriously; many common health problems will be prevented from needing corrective or curative treatment in the first place, even going so far as using corrective gene therapy. Diseases that are common now will be eradicated by advanced vaccines and containment procedures, as has been the case.

Emergency medical care will be handled mostly by machines, like the MedPod caesarean scene in Prometheus. Cloning technology will make replacement organs readily available and advanced artificial organs will be used while they are grown.

A manufactured fascimile is embraced, because it is useful to control those vaguely conscious of class issues but too stupid to read a book or think harder than a couple tweets.

I don't think that at all. We will have to move mountains to educate people on how to react to a pandemic and convince governments to spend the money for proper pandemic handling; both will need to work together to pass intelligent pandemic response policies. I'm optimistic that the American political machine, dysfunctional as it is, will do that eventually.

If we can't move mountains, we blast tunnels through them anyway.

>>74002337
>economic damage only happened because we attempted containment procedures
They are already eating crow or are preparing to as TX, AZ and FL are eaten alive despite their lax responses. Politicians who did not take this pandemic seriously will be voted out for no other reason than the ensuing economic damage and their successful successors will be made to learn from that example.

The reality is that most of the people having this sort of reaction take their cues from the highest political leadership with which they can identify; if it comes down to their local Mayor begging, they'll do it.

Future doctors will look at modern medical practices the way we do medieval ones. Which is to say modern medicine at it's worst.

And that would be their take on first world medicine. To here the 2170 books tell it the third world would never have access to treatment at all.

Doctors in the next 20-30 years will readily euthanize the elderly and terminally ill. There will be billions of climate and war refugees, many will be triaged due to overwhelming shortage of doctors and medical equipment. As more virulent urbanized diseases spread and more countries collapse we'll see patients euthanized and cremated if the doctors don't think they have a chance, in order to save their work for those that might live. Entire refugee districts will be incinerated without evacuation to try to race ahead of the disease.

History has shown time and time and time again that the rich and powerful will use their resources to get richer and more powerful. This means starting wars, exploiting workers, destroying the environment, killing dissidents, creating laws that only work in their favor, hoarding resources, and doing everything they can to engineer society to better serve them.

It`s about fairness. The free market is not a moral system, it only one that values supply and demand/profit maximisation. You could work hard and smart you entire life but someone born rich will still have more than you despite not having done any work for it. And even if he has done some work, some work is overvalued and some is undervalued by market forces. The biggest threat for any democracy is the break-up from a communal society to one that is divided into different classes. If we want to live in a free, democratic and fair system, a govermental support system will be necessary to mend crass econocmic/social injustices.

Because otherwise you will see it develop in autocracies, black clinics and east first. Once the augmented new societies outcompete the old western societies, they will be forced to adopted the technology as well, but now stand second. It wouldn`t be so bad if it only would be Japan, Taiwan and South Korea but China is also on its tracks.

150 years ago, blood types were still unknown. There were no antibiotics. Pasteur's germ theory of disease had just been discovered. X-ray hadn't been discovered, yet. There were no vaccines against anthrax, rabies, diphtheria, cholera, tetanus, pertussis, polio and yellow fever, but inoculation against smallpox existed. Even simple stuff like a standardized patient record didn't exist. Life expectancy was under 40 years (it is around 78, now).

That's assuming it can be done, and that you aren't just doing what everyone has always been doing, seeing something interesting and believing all the future will be shaped by it. Successful, long term modification of the human body is reliant on dozens of emerging and almost wholly untested technologies being everything they're cracked up to be on their own and then making them work in concert. If the recent advancements in medicine have taught us anything, its that the human body is a volatile and temperamental environment governed by everything from the shape it to its innumerable encounters with the world. Medications and procedures that were once commonly prescribed can years later be revealed to be incredibly dangerous simply because testing, no matter how sophisticated, cannot always foresee every problem. Sure we may have CRISPR, but we're no where near the point where we can forecast the potential dangers of using it on individuals over several decades, much less the general population; if its even possible.

>That's assuming it can be done,
It was already done. (https://www.technologyreview.com/2019/02/21/137309/the-crispr-twins-had-their-brains-altered/). To a quite limited degree thoug.Wwe have already identified several thousand possible DNA alleles that we can modify to our benefit. https://arxiv.org/abs/1408.3421 And by benefit, I mean objective good traits such as health, fitness and intelligence. We could modify the GRIN2B (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19838302), the PDE4B (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=26272049), https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25225386 and the FOXP2 strain (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19838302) to help our children to have more potential. Add modifications with TP53, CDKN2A, CTNNB1, NGF, MSTN, EPOR and APOE genes, and you got the basis for a healthy, fit and smart child. But it is true, that we need some 10 - 20 years to test it out, but CRISPR is progressing and computer become better at simulating biological processes, so I`m optimistic that such progress will be made.

>It was already done.
On an experimental basis, not what I was referring too. Sure, in the short term you can apply sequences that are fairly well understood, but there's no way to forecast the interactions between artificial sequences in the general populace, especially in cases of modification after people are born and after several compounded generations of modding.

>I`m optimistic that such progress will be made.
I think there are applications for the technology, but just like any medicine a measured and conservative approach would be the best and probably what we'll see.

This assumes an optimistic future instead of 'get euthanized by enforcement killbots as soon as age or poor health makes keeping you alive more expensive than the value of your work.'

>>74001823
>Why would anyone sell augmentation when their own augmentation gave them an advantage over the non-augmented?
For... money?

Money tends to be a good reason to sell things. If you don't sell it to unaugmented folks, other people will and it'll still get given to them and you're just not getting any money out of it.

>>73990291
I like how OP's post has 0.00% to do with any form of on-topic traditional game, it's literally just a question about the future of real life.

>>74021332
Killbots cost money and social disruption caused by systematic murder could threaten the immortal power structure. It is easier and more stable to install a UBI that keeps the population happy. Well, atleast in borderline democratic nations. I don't know what hellscapes will develop in russia or china.

>>73990291
>What will future doctors think about modern medicine
I hope will gain a greater understanding of the brain and how to treat mental illness.

I also hope they will marvel at how bad we were at handling pandemics, the same way we laugh at bloodletting and balancing humours.

Only in Africa.

>I also hope they will marvel at how bad we were at handling pandemics
That's less a medicine thing and more a dont be contrary retards just because you don't like the people telling you how to reduce the rate of spread thing.

idk probably horror stories of dilation stations

Nanotech. Small dude robots.
Quantum surgery?

>>73990291
They will probably look down on Chemo, needless vaccinations, surgery, needle injections, organ donation, blood transfusions, sex changes and circumscisions (I hope)...

>>74022246
Believe it brother. big true good is in ascension.

>>74022246
>blood transfusions
These are actually perfectly reasonable, seeing as we can't exactly manufacture working artificial blood in a lab.

Short of inventing star trek replicators so even the poorest can have unlimited material goods, those wealthier than you are always an inherent threat.

"Did you know that neo-millennium doctors used to give people chemical capsules to treat diseases? Sometimes they'd even make inert viruses to get their immune systems working. In extreme cases, they would need to use radiation to kill the defect but harm the patient at the same time."

"Lucky we have nano-retainers now. Imagine dying from something as simple as cancer."

>>74032286
Meanwhile, said nanites have a subscription fee.

>>74032328
>he doesn't jailbreak his nanites

>>74032328
That`s not how they work. Atleast nanosymbionts can only be programmed to be permanent or temporary, you would have to inject the patient with specialized nanosymbionts whose sole purpose would be to delete those anti-cancer nanosymbionts. It would possible for some corp to force people to do that but that is way too complicated and unprofitable as you would have to built up a specialzed research while other corp will make progress in enhancements and gain far more money.

>>74032328
It would more likely be considered closer to tax or national insurance contributions. Except in the ruins of the US, where they're still fighting a civil war and get charged by Israel for nanite coverage.

>>74032632
The second the US goes down, all Israel's neighbors have no cannon fodder to stand in their way.

Different poster here.

People /pol/ attacks are targets generated by racial propaganda. That is the literal point of /pol/: displacing the violent behavior of dissatisfied morons.

Are even 1/4 of the threads in /pol/ bitching about millionaires with clear programs that screw over everyone, like Koch? Fucking nope. That's how you can tell where /pol/ directs its hate. /pol/ is a failure in this, and absolutely every other sense. It might as well be training to self-lobotomize.

The only way /pol/ would ever get mad at a filthy millionaire was if it was some combination of female, <insert ethnic group>, or liberal millionaire. You would not even care what the millionaire was *doing*. The important thing is that they are (((stupid /pol/ meme about ethnic group, females, or liberals))).

You all suck.
You pat yourselves on the back for making up hate fantasies.
You can't even be bothered to hate people actually causing the most problems, because most of them are of the same race as most /pol/.
Your collective ability to screen and determine who is causing actual problems is worse than fucking children.
You deliberately spend your time making fact-checking, analysis, and critical thinking abilities worse for yourself and others.
You spend your time building conspiracies against people who have not shit to do with fucking up humanity.
Whenever anyone attempts to seriously consider these problems you actively try and fuck it up with your shitty memes and derails.
All of that is what /pol/ entails as a hobby.
You are shit.
Your board is shit.
There is absolutely nothing good that will come of it.
It literally blunts the tools needed to fix anything involved in politics OR any fucking where else.
Sane people legitimately fucking hate you.

Wake the fuck up, if you fucking please, you fucking bastards. You are already happily slurping upper class dick. That is what /pol/ is about, right fucking here and now. And you aren't even getting paid for it.

>>74033371
Nah, you've got /pol/ confused for the libertarian freemarket cultists. They're fascists. There's a difference.
