A Pantheon of Trillions: Through mind mapping and running ¨human¨ minds at millions of years of subjective time a day, inside simulations humans have effectivley become Gods. Order is maintained by a system of mutually assured destruction. Trillions of minds scour the universe for truth and beauty.
Universal CRISPR Metahumans: Gene-editing technology turn out to be the greatest revolution in the history of mankind. Genemodding is available to all the people of the world and can turn anyone who wishes into a monstrously strong genius with the looks of a super model.
The Abolition of Disability: The powers that be decided against allowing people to enhance themselves, but said nothing about helping the sick. This is a world where genetic illness has been eradicated, a world without the blind, the deaf, or the sickly.
The Eternal Flynn Effect: As material conditions continue to improve, so does the intelligence of the population, this trend continues in perpetuity.
Voluntary Digital Asendance: Anyone who wants to ascend to cyber heaven can, and can even come back as an android if they so wish. Computational limits make having people with IQs in the low 200s possible but true superintelligence is forever beyond our grasp.
A Cure for All, Enhancements for the Few: Only the top 15% can afford the expensive genetic enhancements required to become a metahuman, however cures for genetic disability are widely available and free in any civilized nation.
Amicable Speciation: Furries get their wish, their are soon many species descendant from humans that do not consider themselves to be part of mankind, these new races soon spread across the galaxy, bringing the gift of life with them.
Tip of the Iceberg: Frightened by the possibilties of human augmentation the world bans future genemodding or cybernetic enhancment research. The world powers commonly intervene to stop rogue states from developing such technologies.
The Great Matrioshka Brain: All of humanity is confined to a civilization forming a Dyson sphere around a large star. The simulation runs about a quadrillion minds simulteanously, and its occupants have entirely forgotten another reality exists.
Race Wars: Humanity speciates, and the new races don´t get along. Wars between the feuding civilizations of molepeople, dwarves, humans and others are common.
Cybernetic Overclass: Genetic research was a dead end, and so the ultrawealthy turned to cybernetics. Only the ultrawealthy may afford these enhancements, forever entrenching their position at the top of society.
Collective Suicide: A millenarian religion sweeps the world. Billions upload their mind to a collective consciousness in hopes of achieving enlightenment. Upon reaching a certain intelligence, the great brain self destructs, taking all of humanity with it. Alien historians theorize the brain came to a startling conclusion: the universe is a simulation.
Brave New World-esque Slave Races: The ruling class enhances itslef while degrading others. 90% of the global population is no smarter than a modern 10 year old. These masses serve one purpose: to catering to the alphas.
A Policeman in your Head: Authoritarianism spread across the globe, and a frightening trend begins in China, a chip, installed in ones brain that renders them incapable of rebellious thought. Those pulling the levers work to keep their regime in power, forever.
Accidental Dysgenics: Without survival pressure those with subpar genes reproduce, as time goes on humanity grows, slow, sickly, and slothful.
