Next empire will be based off a illusion of ethics, population control and spectrum techs. Will still be driven by power, social classes and paying free shit while having limited privacy in any shape at all. Even if you could fix everything today, it would be hugely lobbied against or killed lol too much danger in giving everyone power or usage of high techs.
your phone will be eventually be giving you speeding tickets and Google will get your ass put in jail. You'll still be paying for energy and Internet regardless of it could be created freely.
Already see the hand chips growing. Other gene tech improving over CrispR casp9 and that shits already a huge leap. Running around with the golden scissors while building d wave and other quantum computers. Synthetic blood with binary encoded proteins or cells for mad storage space.
I don't see a society not based on usery and classes popping up anytime if based off a human mind. Would a Ai consider good and evil being a human construct like old religions?
