And how many we are horrifically far behind on. I mean, come on. Moon colonies.

We're not actually that far behind. Honestly, if the budget was available we could get them in 5 years.

If we don't have permanent Moon colonies by the time I'm sixty, I swear I'm gonna hunt down and butcher everyone who didn't provide funding.

No you won't. You will be busy being sixty.

Busy being sixty. HAH! I'm going to take that NAD miracle drug and be 23 forever!

NAD is not a drug. It's not even something new, it's a compound that pops up in high school-level Biology courses when talking about basic cellular biochemistry: Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide.

Gesundheit.

By the time you are sixty, you will be far too busy playing Dwarf Fortress 1.0

Nah, we'll have Mars colonies by the time DF 1.0 comes out.

[RedWarrior0]

Nah, we'll be incorporated into the metaphysical pandimensional collective before DF 1.0 comes out.

Who says that hasn't already started? Soon you will be assimilated

[Execute/Dumbo.exe]

I'm what you might call a casual conspiracy finder, I do it when I'm bored and I was talking to my friend when I had one of my more grandiose moments:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

"Yhea so my theory is that when a species establishes too much prominence in the world, it undergoes a evolution into a hive structure, like bees, they have the most compact grey matter of all creatures you know, they could have ruled the earth in earlier times."
My friend: "hmm, yes, quite."
"But, even though we have exceeded that limit, humans are too unpredictable to undergo that, communism was the first step, but humans are too unpredictable and attached to individuality for that to happen, right?!"
"Certainly, have you heard about the new iPhone?"
"Well, yes, but... Wait... Facebook and Twitter... They could have been the steps! The Evolution haden't  stopped! ITS TO LARGE TO SEE! OH MY GOD, THIS IS MASSIVE! THE WHOLE TIME, FACEBOOK AND STUFF WERE THE SECOND WAY TO MAKE US GO THAT EVOLUTIONARY WAY!"
"Certainly, now about this..."
That was the abridged version by the way.

Shortened up, I was talking about... Just read the spoiler, it's too large to recount even singularity like compressed.

[t. fortsorter]

Alleecat, you're not supposed to tell them that! ^^
Now they'll be looking out for something trying to assimilate them. This sets back the actual assimilation by... a week, haha~

Humans as bees, hmm... will we be able to make honey~? That'd make things so much easier... if a bit more disgusting, but easier nonetheless!

[Execute/Dumbo.exe]

It wasn't really that, I was talking about how in the situation when a species would become too prominent, it would become more... Centralised, bees I was using as an example for the fact how smart they were compared in size to humans, I was saying communism was the first part, the first part to a hive, not specifically mind, however, twitter and Facebook are like that, how much time do we spend waiting to talk, to 'connect', even here, it should be apparent, you see, once, my phone ran out of charge in a crowded mall, and you know what i felt?

Empty, humans always wanted companionship, but we have been more and more needing for that, in only specific ways, eventually, it will end when we have lost the concept of 'money' or 'reward', except if you consider enough sustenance and shelter to keep you alive 'rewards', the fact is, the size of the earth and unpredictability of humans has only slowed it down, it haven't stopped it, it never has.

[t. fortsorter]

Oh my... you believe communism is a plausible system? I would like to agree with you.
The information hive is not going to happen, methinks. Facebook? Real people, fake opinions. I hate to say, but on imageboards people are more honest with their feelings than on Twitter, because nobody will track you down and make your life miserable if you tell others something bad about your neighbor, haha~
Which doesn't mean I'm not taking into account the multitude of trolls on both mediums!
Your phone running out of charge explains why you feel so invested into your theory~ Humans are social beings! Surely, this has changed once we no longer needed to be huddled together in a cave in order to not starve to death, but even the most extreme introvert will interact with society at large... once a decade maybe, haha~
The powers that be will never allow us to enter post-scarcity because they will have as little hold over resources as everyone else at that point, and their power comes from being able to control resources. That's what I think at the least, sorry~

[Tack]

This.  This makes me happy.  And I'm happy to share it with you all, too.

This doesn't involve mathematics and your portrait isn't something delicious.

CALL THE CONSPIRACY POLICE!

[Execute/Dumbo.exe]

What? Oh, I'm not invested into my theory, I'm fine with it being debunked, I was pointing out what I had gathered, nothing that I was invested in at all, I guess you could come to that conclusion honestly, my ending did sound a bit melodramatic but I always do that, apart from that, I can't tell how you made out that I thought communism was a plausible idea, I never thought that at all, anyway, sorry if I said something wrong anyway.

[t. fortsorter]

Well you should be invested into your theory! :3
These are my thoughts, and that's how the world may work! This may be our future! Would you let go of your future easily?
You're way too soft~ Not that it's a bad thing of course! You should be able to stand your ground though, and not end up apologizing because I've jumped to conclusions, haha~ Especially since I've done so to the wrong ones!
I assumed you said communism was plausible because you said that humans will inevitably form hives, and communism is the first step to a hive, so obviously when forming the inevitable hive humans will form communism! I... really can't see the flaw in logic this might have. Could you please point it out to me so I make no such mistake again?
Being melodramatic is fine, really! as long as you don't do it all the time, since it loses all meaning, and nobody wants that you know~
