    I don’t quite understand what iptables are, but the other 3 pills seem like they could have serious monkey’s paw like downsides if not chosen or implemented carefully.

    World Peace because everyone’s a lobotomized meat robot for instance, or telepathy, but you can’t control it so everything’s constantly bombarding you with thoughts, or everyone can hear your thoughts constantly for instance. And eternal life without eternal health or youth is such a cliche at this point it’s barely worth mentioning. Plus all the sci fi dystopias where there are basically immortal heads in jars, like Futurama.

    Or Eternal Life where hey, it’s not that bad… you’re young and healthy forever and can even regrow parts… but everyone else has died so you’re all alone, and guess what: heaven is real.
