How scientists in Japan bred mice with two fathers

The distinction between biological sexes becomes more and more ambiguous! Why was the variant with two mothers not addressed in this video?

One may wildly speculate that within the next 50-75 years or so, humans will be biologically only one sex. Just let this speculation sink in for a moment.

Imminent Food Revolution

Trigger

Just read "The Next Startup Craze: Food 2.0". Among other things it talks about plant-based substitutes for eggs.

The Future Of Food

I have previously blogged about my view of the future here.

To me it seems highly probable that humans are on the cusp to make agriculture as we know it history.

Foods designed and optimized for our personal needs and tastes produced by bacteria or whatever is the future. Food preparation as we know it is perhaps already on its way to the dustbin of history. Humans are fast transcending nature.

We have for decades known about space food, but this was food prepared for a very limited purpose and for only a few people.

Children Versus Longevity

Introduction

This is a speculative blog post about the medium term future!

Longevity Ante Portas

In this age of exponential technological progress it is only a matter of a few decades (perhaps less than three decades) that humans will be able to extend their healthy life span far beyond 100 years perhaps even towards 200 years.

Giving Birth

I would forecast that within the next 50 years or so women will no longer need to give birth to humans. This may sound shocking, but it is a distinct possibility.

Instead humans will have found some other means to procreate if still necessary.

What Happens To Sex?

I would guess within the next few decades humans will be able to have as many orgasms as one can wish for by other means if this is still necessary and desirable.

By then, the porn industry as we know it is long dead. Erotic fantasies become computer generated.

Demographics Is Destiny

Given all that aforementioned do we still need children by then? How many?

What will be the trend of world population like in 50 to 100 years?

Are we going to populate other planets? Are some humans going to be on long term space missions?

An Act Of Blasphemy?

Some religious people may well accuse me of that. However, if God would not like humans to go forward in this direction humans would not be able to, right?

Does not God want us humans to use our God given talents to our best abilities?

God created the universe (multiverse) and any life in it. God endowed life with the Golden Rule and a love of freedom.

God is a marvel.

Caveat Emptor

My predictions might be significantly delayed if too many humans fight against the technological progress.

Evolutionary Convergence Of Man And Machine

Major Update On 3/13/2014

I have completely revised this blog post.

Mathematicians Think Like Computers

For decades we humans have tried to make machines to think more like humans. A recent article (6/26/2013) describes how mathematicians think more like machines to check proofs.

A Bidirectional Convergence

As they say many things in life work both ways. So does the convergence of computers and humans as I expect.

Humans will continue to create computers that better understand and respond to humans. And vice versa humans will have to think and interact more like computers so computers work better for humans.

Humans Transcend Nature

Another example of how humans continue to transcend nature. I have previously blogged about this subject here.
