See my 3rd point, it applies to all inhumane activity. Normal people dont kill, mentally ill/unstable people kill. We are long past the evolutionary need for this shit.

Sorry to piss on your sunny parade, but:

>> 1) Fully decoding the cellular mechanism of cells allowing for the curing of any disease, repairing any genetic disorder.

-- so you want to cure aging then- how many billions of people you think can a planet with a 6k km radius sustain ?

You think Claus Schwabs of the world wont buy it out to keep it to themselves ?

>> 2) Commercially viable fusion energy. Will change a lot of things.

-- That will eventually happen, and electricity will be just as "expensive" as it is now, simply because the price of a product has nothing to do with its cost and everything to do with the purchasing power of its intended audience.

>> 3) An AI subsystem with some reasoning ability (yeah, could go either way)

-- No, its cant go either way, the power insatiable psychopaths in power will use it to maximize their power. Period. Its psychopath nature- for them its natural and perfectly normal. Until psychopathy is recognized as a disease and sick people are disallowed from positions of power, the world will continue to be an abusive place.

Psssft, room temperature, Chuck Norris does it in his sauna.

For read frag on ssd shouldn matter, and for write since zfs is tree struct the allocator would create few more nodes and links but no big deal ?

The HHGTTG cannot be wrong. You forgot to count 0. It is 42.
