Title: 20years ago SR would have been unbelieveable. What'll we have 20years from now?
Post by: colorblack on March 16, 2013, 06:55 am
I was just thinking. If you could travel back in time a couple decades and explain the concept of SR to people.. they'd have stared at you in disbelief. What do you think we'll have in the future, say, 20 years FROM now?

4D printers that print drug precursors, you shake it all together and your drugs are made within an instant!

I think that in another twenty years we'll be getting high digitally. As we decode the language of the brain and develop more powerful ways of interacting directly with computers, we'll be able to run virtual reality programs that stimulate our neurons in ways that recreate the same psychoactive effects we now rely on chemicals to achieve. The first digital drugs will probably be shitty compared to what they mimic, sort of like research chemicals, but over time the ability to directly code someone's neurochemistry with increasing specificity and granularity will allow people to download any drug in existence.

The level of control such a system could possibly allow might give rise to new drugs, digital hybrids that synthesize the effects of many existing drugs. Entirely new experiences might also arise, virtual drugs whose real-life analogs don't yet exist or which might be impossible to produce IRL. Such drugs might even push the boundaries of what the human psyche cam take. DMT-like trips that stretch over several subjective lifetimes. Double lives split between the real world and carefully choreographed dissociative fantasies where you can be anyone or anything you can imagine.  Oracle-like states of ecstasy that allow groups of people to transcend their egos and become collective beings whose increased processing power elevates them to levels of genius impossible when they were trapped in single brains.

A self-assembling viral drug will eventually emerge on some future analog of the darknet, mutating with each mind it touches. With each hit the whole of human feeling and experience becomes available to the user. Some are left burnt-our mental husks, robotic shadows of themselves. Others will be transformed into something beyond our imagining. Alien, outside of our moral and conceptual systems. Superior beings, to be sure, but neither good nor evil. Made  an apotheosis of themselves through direct contact with the all, pure abstraction, like arch-angels or demi-urges.

Or something. Great thread idea colorblack!

Interesting insight Strangeman. I agree with you. I think there will be a point in time in the future where we will be getting high "digitally". It's inevitable. Like you said, I'm sure drugs that don't even exist yet will be developed/programmed. I'm curious if drugs will then be for sale if they're digital.. or could they be pirated? Imagine that.. a pirated 8ball of digital coke.. etc
Fascinating..

I read by 2015 we will be able to touch and feel through our computers screens, freaky.

Synthetic drugs via computes. Or 3d printed ingredients etc.

I think theyd better start looking after the buyer  esp the newbies (customers) today , this week month ,year  !    or there wont be a  silkroad  in 5 years   some other site will see the customers as clients and not allow them  to be robbed so easily day in day out  Esp the new buyers  , its a shame  to see  them getting fuked everyday  over the f.e confusion

What about  NO F.E ALLOWED ON SR.

 :o :o

...that is genius!!

I'm thinking in 20 years that quite a bit of the stuff here on the Silk Road, surely the natural (plant-based) substances, will be legal and we won't be required to go through the hassle of keeping ourselves anonymous to stay out of legal trouble.

How about, nanobots that can be programmed to change conformation, attach to any brain receptors, and simulate any drug.

You could switch from cocaine to heroin in a minute, or hippie flip by programming some to simulate MDMA and others to simulate psilocybin. You could make the high stop in seconds, or allow to go on for as along you want.

And if these digital drugs could be pirated (like the mp3s or movies or other digital goods).. imagine. People never paying for any drugs ever again. I suspected people will sit around high, hookedup to their laptops 24/7. Fuck.
