Anyone here remember the sci-fi movie "Logan's Run" (1976)?

Yeah, these predictions are ridiculous at best. But at worst they might be setting the stage for something sinister down the road.

Mr. Talwar: it will be natural for 50 per cent of the population to not be working.
Stephanie Seneff, PhD: At today’s rate, by 2025, one in two children will be autistic.
-> when you join those two estimates together, it will paint an interesting picture.

But Studio, don't you know that nanites are going to make everything right? Yeah, I'm with the pessimists. I've seen this coming since the 1970's, which is one of the reasons I never sprogged.
I've been hearing a lot lately about how insects are the perfect food, and that we should get over our revulsion or in the near futures we'll all be living on insects, etc. Of course it never seems to occur to any of the futurists to limit family size.
I'm just glad I'll be dead before that happens.

Age 30 may be stretching it a bit for maximum life span but if our planet reaches the point where such a measure is necessary - that may have to happen.
Personally, I don't want to get old, nor age and get sick and sicker and sicker but not kick off (become a coffin dodger).
For years I have felt I'd never reach the age 50 - I have heard that some people know when they will die, and do not rule out that possibility.
