True, thank you. I'm also a bit into analogue synths and diy stuff, you know the projects one always pushes foreward because of priorities. There are for example touch sensitive synthesizers & they can be made pretty easily, metal foils and chemicals and a little creativity & sigils and voila

In the end the monetary system that uses and redirects human energy through mediums or media is a form of vampirism so to speak.
Huge topic, I guess it's basically almost but not fully decided yet. AI will determine that by large degrees & population development, some like musk speak of a drastic decline that will happen, and we'll officially peak in population in 2084 at over 10 billion people, but that might be bs.
If the population were to decline to extreme degrees through catastrophes we would for sure enter the brave new world scenario, because with a way smaller population and strong ai/robots serving as armies and all that good stuff the division in 2 different evolutions would be quasi set in stone for a while.
But i think we already have many things we can use today as mere mortals, but that may also change with different scenarios, like the 15 min cities and whole emissions thing- if that gets implemented fully the supply chains are reduced to a mostly local radius & it'll no longer be profitable to ship fast fashion - or useful life enhancing chemicals- around the globe. So yeah, i feel it's really just some years left to manifest ones position on one or the other side- especially when the money system gets a reset to energy tickets and planned economy.
But i think it's also not totally grim either, just achieving certain wealth and resources might not be possible then like it is now.
I'm always fascinated by different science fiction stories, just because they think in huge timespans and often 'form follows fiction'.
One of the oldest science fiction novels, 'Time Machine' by HG Wells written in 1895, has envisioned a humanity that was split into 2 different species through a very long time of very different living. Quasi radically thinking societal tedencies and the at the time fairly new evolution theory to the end. The time traveller travels to 802,701 AD, but I guess we could end up there faster.
But i ramble around again, we should go into more detail about vampirism and life extention i think
Didn't know that the movie Time Machine was based on the book. In the movie there were 3 kinds. (masters, servants and food) The movie was amazing. I'll have to check the book some day too. Thanks! You remind me of the movie Jupiter rises, where powerful people extend ther life infinitely by making a medicine from humans that they grow on many planets. A lot of preying there, not blood, but some rare cells or something that allows them to keep their youth infinitely as long as they can do that.
What will come we will see in 5 years. Every 5 years now mean very different world.
