The good folks at Sadly No! laugh at them. A lot.
A handful of faves to seduce you to click:
"mmy" asks: Wait, is the magazine called “Reason” or “Baseless Speculation About Possible Futures That Aids Our Libertarian Agenda”?
"The Malfunctioning Glenn Reynolds Robot" points out: With ObamaCare, the public will be healthier and we won’t be able to trash the planet while I download my brain into a macho robot that will get it on with sweet cyberbabes. It’s not fair, and we won’t stand for it.
"Calming Influence" helpfully advised: "Seek engineering assistance if your nanobots become implacable and your penis remains enhanced for more than four hours.”
"Gunner" noticed: "Reason Magazine’s science writer is an economics major who dropped out of law school. I can’t think of a better way to describe libertarians."
"Nobody Important" summarized Ron Bailey's argument as: "Health care you can afford now is worse than future medical miracles that you can’t afford later. Biotechnology progress is a function of human misery. Health Insurance Reform directly alters Biotechnology Research, because of pony."
"actor212" proposed: "America hasn’t made consistent and regular radical medical innovations in decades now. Yes, we decoded the genome…mostly on government research grants. These nanotechnologies and biotechnologies and even gene therapies are being done in nations like South Korea, and China, and England and India. India? National health care England? National health care China? National health care South Korea? Transitioning to national health care"
"El Cid" wonders: "Why do we even need doctors and whatnot? Why can’t we simply engage in free market capitalist principles within our own bodies? Why do our lungs just give oxygen away to any blood cell lazy enough to be pumped through those alveolar capillaries? If cells want to take in toxins and not have Big Liver protect them like children from their intakes, they should have that right."
"Whale Chowder" snarked -- and thereupon accidentally characterized neoliberal futurology as a whole: “Don’t judge a policy by its measurable effects, judge it by the imaginary effects I pulled out of my ass, here.”
There are many more. Truths are spoken, Robot Cultists ridiculed, a good time at the expense of stupidity and selfishness is had by all.
