10. Hell Engineering
This one's quite similar to the previous item. Some futurists make the case for paradise engineering — the use of advanced technologies, particularly consciousness uploading and virtual reality, to create a heaven on Earth. But if you can create heaven, you can create hell. It's a prospect that's particularly chilling when you consider lifespans of indefinite length, along with the nearly boundless possibilities for psychological and physical anguish. This is actually one of the worst things I can think of; why anyone would want to develop such a thing is beyond me. It's yet another reason for banning the development of artificial superintelligence — and the onset of the so-called Roko's Basilisk problem. This sounds intriguing to me. Not hell, but eternal paradise? Who wouldn't want that? |

Chiefs fans. Because we like things that suck.

And how do we know that time travel not only exists, but is heavily used by future societies? Hell, we could go back and make sure the kicker not to be named never makes the tem!
