A place to discuss the ideas, developments, and technology that can and will shape the future of civilization.

Tenets:

(1) Concepts are often better treated in isolation -- eg: "what if energy became near zero cost?"
(2) Consider the law of unintended consequences -- eg: "if this happens, then these other systems fail"
(3) Pseudoscience and speculative physics are not welcome. Keep it grounded in reality.
(4) We are here to explore the parameter spaces of the future -- these includes political system changes that advances may trigger. Keep political discussions abstract and not about current affairs.
(5) No pumping of vapourware -- eg: battery tech announcements.

This is for people who were born without a full set, for congenital reasons. It's not for people who've had teeth removed.

Given the prime indicator of economic status is now dental health, I can see the next-gen tooth-regrowing formula as being a huge benefit for my lower-born homies; and I can see the cons blocking "tarnishing the sanctity of God's image for us" (or similar malarkey) for that very reason.
