      How about a Technological, Tyranical, AI dystopia where Apple developes an Apple store AI with a pension for Nickleback. It'll mass produce and implant neural microchip Ipods that only have a Nickleback Revival Tour playlist; so that their songs are playing non stop in your head with no way to stop it, even if you plug your ears. Victims of the implant will feel psychologically compelled to encourage or enforce others the get the implant as well. Even if you remove the microchip, your neural wiring has been permanently scarred by Nickleback. Causing withdrawl symptoms akin to meth addiction. You'll break into cold sweats, uncontrollable muscle spasms, panic attacks, hum or even scream the lyrics to their songs until you get your next hit. Truley, this is the most grimdark future.

      It would really be a challenge, because sleeping is the way our brains "clean up" from the experiences of the day, forgetting the useless stuff, literally cleaning up toxic materials that build up with time, making room for new memories, etc. It would be really hard to accomplish but, with futuristic technology, who says it's not possible?

    • @YourMakingMeNervous
      @YourMakingMeNervous 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      This is totally sci-fi but if we had machines small enough to enter the body and perform tasks, and we understood the function of sleep well enough, I do think it would be possible to use little machines to do the "cleaning up" and consolidating of memories and all that while awake. An insane level of challenge, though.

    • @ernesik4636

      We have to know the local gravity and atmospheric pressure (I.e. air resistance) of the studio in which _WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEL of Future History_ is filmed in order to find out how quickly it stops.
      For example, if this were being filmed in the void of space (which it clearly isn’t), it would take basically forever (and that’s not an exaggeration) to stop as it would only lose velocity through its own passive energy radiation.
