I guess on a related note anyone have a good recipe ? If you want to do something right you gotta do it yourself , amirite ? <| sep |> There are some good points here but a few I would dispute . First , those young men may be content playing video games all day but will they still feel that in twenty years ? I don ' t think so . My guess is they ' ll feel a sense of regret that they didn ' t enhance their skills when they were younger and hate how much of a burden they are . Second , having a world where people can create their own utopias sounds pretty utopian but there still the knowledge that everything they do is pointless and without meaning . Even if I create a world where I fulfill vital functions through society , there is still the knowledge of how artificial it is . I ' m not sure that more elaborate simulations can fix that . Third , there will probably be a fix to the technological unemployment problem and that will be intelligent amplification through technologies such as genetic engineering and mind uploading . These will solve one problem but open a Pandora ' s box of terrifying possibilities . I don ' t really see these intelligence enhancing technologies not being invented so it ' s really those problems that I think are the problem in the long run .
