All of fiction is a distortion of sorts. Consider Wall-E movie fat people. The AI advancements shown in the movie should transitively imply that biotech, biomedical progress would be so high that we would have solved perfect health by then.



Not really. As history shows, progress in one field of science/engineering/philosophy doesn't necessarily imply progress in others.


Which is because we don't have intelligence on tap. If we did, we would actually put intelligence to use in all the subjects. I would rather put intelligence to use on biology rather than philosphy.
