How can we dodge our future of cheap bioweapons?
« on: February 11, 2022, 04:37:25 pm »

We've got 20 years until they become relatively easy to make.

How can we avoid a future of living in siloed communities? If that would even work?

Bioweapons have been cheap for centuries.

eh, another 20's fairly likely for most folks under 60-70 or so... most stuff that's falling apart in a particularly catastrophic way is doing it pretty slow, so making it (if increasingly less comfortably) another two decades is pretty reasonable

... 50-200 or so, things get murkier. Fair amount of shit don't change before then and we're pretty likely to have turned into our own extinction event, or near enough to it it's a distinction without a difference :-\

Bro who wants to buy my bioweapon NFT

Each NFT gives you a receipt of ownership for your very own randomly generated bioweapon
