Do you there is such a thing as a perfect world? Where we could live as long as we want, free of aging and debts and health issues can easily be fixed? Is it possible to live in a world like this? I thought about this today and tried to come up with a world where this is possible and the only thing I came up with is the virtual world. With the concept of singularity and transhumanism by virtual reality and mind uploading, do you think we can achieve this in 2 or 3 decades?
I first question would probably be, "What does perfect mean?" If you take the definition "Being without defect or blemish", then I don't think that's possible. If you take the definition "Lacking nothing essential to the whole; complete of its nature or kind", then I think that's possible. I mean, I don't think there can be a world without death. People will die. Accidents will happen. That's natural. To me a perfect world would be one in which everybody is able to do what is close to their heart and they won't want for any of the basic necessities of life. There shouldn't be any war either, of course. Will it happen? I don't know. I don't think it'll happen globally anytime soon.
