Until recently, advanced melanoma would have been a near-certain death sentence !
all evils are caused by insufficient knowledge'
David Deutsch's 'Principle of Optimism' in The Beginning of Infinity
From the FT, Andrew Ward
When Jimmy Carter was diagnosed last year with melanoma that had spread to his brain, many people feared the worst for the oldest living US president.
Yet four months after making his condition public, he revealed that the cancer had disappeared. By March this year, doctors were confident enough to give him the all-clear. “So I’m not going to have any more treatment,” he told the Sunday school class he teaches in his home town of Plains, Georgia
Mr Carter, 91, is one of the latest beneficiaries of a new drug type which many scientists, medics and pharmaceuticals executives believe is destined to transform the treatment of cancer. Until recently, advanced melanoma would have been a near-certain death sentence. That has begun to change since the arrival of Keytruda, the drug by Merck of the US given to Mr Carter, and a rival product, Bristol-Myers Squibb’s Opdivo.
Everything that is physically possible will be invented very soon. This is just the beginning. first i see a world of opportunity & spare time. people will have a lot of leisure time, machines will do more & more, the energy problem will be solved without oil or natural resources (Buy Nike & entertainment stocks).
All that will be invented will happen in the developed world. Some countries will produce nothing of value very soon.
However i also see that governments around the world will extend their power. new technologies have to be limited! If people find out how to tweak with the DNA we will produce disease free people? super athletes, super intelligent etc...I
Government power will increase more & more.
