      How about a Technological, Tyranical, AI dystopia where Apple developes an Apple store AI with a pension for Nickleback. It'll mass produce and implant neural microchip Ipods that only have a Nickleback Revival Tour playlist; so that their songs are playing non stop in your head with no way to stop it, even if you plug your ears. Victims of the implant will feel psychologically compelled to encourage or enforce others the get the implant as well. Even if you remove the microchip, your neural wiring has been permanently scarred by Nickleback. Causing withdrawl symptoms akin to meth addiction. You'll break into cold sweats, uncontrollable muscle spasms, panic attacks, hum or even scream the lyrics to their songs until you get your next hit. Truley, this is the most grimdark future.

      It would really be a challenge, because sleeping is the way our brains "clean up" from the experiences of the day, forgetting the useless stuff, literally cleaning up toxic materials that build up with time, making room for new memories, etc. It would be really hard to accomplish but, with futuristic technology, who says it's not possible?

      This is totally sci-fi but if we had machines small enough to enter the body and perform tasks, and we understood the function of sleep well enough, I do think it would be possible to use little machines to do the "cleaning up" and consolidating of memories and all that while awake. An insane level of challenge, though.

      We have to know the local gravity and atmospheric pressure (I.e. air resistance) of the studio in which _WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEL of Future History_ is filmed in order to find out how quickly it stops.
      For example, if this were being filmed in the void of space (which it clearly isn’t), it would take basically forever (and that’s not an exaggeration) to stop as it would only lose velocity through its own passive energy radiation.

      That would be the public side of it. Privately? I would guess in a utopia, people would get to party _Hard_ on a fairly frequent basis. Meaning: Never mind the "free cake and dogs", lots of people would "attend" augmented or virtual-reality raves where you get to be _blasted_ with extra-dimensional spaces, music in chords and beats that shouldn't exist; get stoned out of your mind for "weeks" in cerebral time. . .
      And then the chips in your brain take the 8 hours to bring you back to standard reality. You spend the rest of your day curled up in a ball in your PJs, under a blanket, while an A. I. or robot companion, or maybe an actual real-life, face-to-face friend, pats you on the head while you make hung-over noises. That's your one day of party and rest, and then the other 6 days of the week (at least on Earth) you go back to being normal and a good citizen.

      antsolja Actually no, if anything we've only barely touched the eco dystopia but are touching the utopia of everything else and eco can be easily reversed once technology advances enough, 2100~ will be the maximum amount of time it takes to control all the elements, assuming nothing catastrophic happens. I mean hell look at the 1917 compared to now, no phones, no computers, cars were a relatively new thing for the past 2 decades, America wasn't anywhere near a World Superpower status, no internet, we barely knew anything about the weather, no venturing into space, no plan to colonize mars in a decade, no microwaves(?). Yet look at today, 100 years after 1917 we have everything I said and far more, and due to technology advancing at an exponential rate it'll be a far larger difference in 100 years, hell, by 2117 there will probably be cities on Mars, fully immersive VR, commercial space ships, plans to colonize Venus, yeah Venus that planet that's basically impossible to touch the surface without dying instantly, a asteroid mining rush like the gold rush, and the oil rush, no Trump ( The best part ), far higher life expectancy ( Like 150~ years ), Nanomachines, CRISPR, genetically modified super humans basically, hell I could list like 20 more things.

    I had no idea you were a stoic, personally loved Kipling's works, and your rewriting of it just further propels the proper stoicism we need. An honest and sincere thank you.

    you forgot the most important and best ending of all... infinite cakes and dogs
    edit: I had to watch again to understand why I said that, now that I've watched it... I can safely say an ℵ0 of cakes and dogs would be better unless it's too much, but I cant tell.

    Oh, ex. Please never stop making these wonderful videos. Keep going, and history itself will look back to you, and remember you as one who inspired thousands and thousands over to get their collective sh*t together and change the course of human developement for the better. I for one salute you for making me think into newer and braver directions. Thank you. (Also: Octo-moist did wonders in curing my kids' monobrow. Cheers!)
