This came up in r/futurology's weekly science rundown. If that subreddit could avoid the inherent craziness it would be a fantastic resource.

I haven't visited that sub for quite a while. I recall there being a widely held belief that the singularity was imminent.

Yeah, more or less. If they could keep it about cutting-edge science it'd be a great resource.

Well, it kinda could be. Kinda.

I would love to figure out how that would be possible. I like that sub too much.

Well, there's now an r/PureFuturology, apparently.

Is this feed-grade, kind of okay pure futurology, or food-grade, edible, preservative-free, gluten-free, no artificial coloring and flavor pure futurology?

Reddit always lies about the purity of its 'pure' subreddits, after all.
