Examples to seed the discussion: fully mapped human brain at synapse-level, reliable molecular nanofabrication, global economic equality, true interstellar travel, or a 100% cure for aging.

I really can’t think of a mechanism but that’s still futurism even if it doesn’t align with your view of it. It’s basically Dune (sure it’s fiction and the prequels kind of hinge on AI but the main novels don’t and are considered scifi which seems like a reasonable yardstick).
That said, their follow up is pretty aggressive. I can see that killing community. So would their pessimism I guess but I kind of hope this channel isn’t only for soft sci-fi discussions as if they’re realistic.
