>This could be the big OLED breakthrough we've been waiting for. Despite the fact LG's latest UHD OLEDs are genuinely stunning from an image quality point of view, at £6,000 we'd argue very few of us are likely to get our eyes on one in our own homes. But a joint venture by Fujifilm and nano-electronics research institute, imec, might well have turned up a more cost-effective method of producing high-resolution, big-screen OLED displays. This pairing produced photoresist technology for organic semiconductors back in 2013 and they have recently demoed full-colour OLEDs using that photoresist tech.

>Apocalypse Neuro: Why Our Brains Don't Process the Gravest Threats to Humanity. Our brains are incredible little mushboxes; they are unfathomably complex, powerful organs that grant us motor skills, logic, and abstract thought. Brains have bequeathed unto we humans just about every cognitive advantage, it seems, except for one little omission: the ability to adequately process the concept of long-term, civilization-threatening phenomena. They've proven miracle workers for the short-term survival of individuals, but the human brain sort of malfunctions when it comes to navigating wide-lens, slowly-unfurling crises like climate change.

>Telomeres are "caps" on the ends of chromosomes that protect them from fraying, much like the end of a shoelace, and an enzyme, called telomerase, maintains their length. Telomeres shorten over time, and the rate at which this occurs can be increased by stress, leading to accelerated aging, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and an impaired immune system. The Telomeres investigation collects crew member blood samples to determine how telomeres and telomerase are affected by space travel.

I think we're a minority that try to think of why, what, how, ummmm how, what, where?
On the precog front there's a lot of human psychological/observational scientific studies going on around the place. Unfortunately anyone with good results get's the "Wanna be a not so successful PhD aiming for tenure or an unemployed masters student?" speech I've met a few people involved and the numbers are interesting. Good results from 1 in 400 participants and another which was aided by DMT and or psilocybin they got 2 out of 65 people but those people were from 2000 mail in bunch that said they had experienced some form of precog.
On the what the fuck are we and how the fuck does it work. I'm unsure from my personal experience I've gone from enthusiastic big bang 12-18B years old single universe, maybe infinite or many parallels, pattern recognition allows better forward planning, psychics of sorts are real and people can connect with other means. tooooo---- We're likely simulated maybe in a containment/experiment, maybe in a "real" quantum universe, maybe solid state, almost certainly parallels or figments that we can observe, people can be hacked remotely and there's some very interesting examples in old texts that explain many ways to achieve more insight.

We're just now discovering that our minds play a bigger role in our surroundings than we ever thought possible.

I absolutely see where you're coming from. However, the more I learn about A.I. and its progression, not to mention the increased computing capacity that will come in the following years; research that would have taken years will be done in months. We can argue about decreasing returns or Moore's Law, but that is when and where quantum computing takes over and the jury is out if that Law applies in the same regards. The research will be handled, and maintaining it - yes, I definitely see how it could become a problem, especially with the world stage the way it is.
My last official thread, by me, was almost a year ago, you're correct. I apologize.
