It only seems overrated because we have since learned that people are so much worse than the characters depicted in the book. When Orwell wrote it in 1949 it was positively shocking.

I don't know off the top of my head but I'm pretty sure there's plenty. Fundamentally proof of work is nothing more than "calculate this difficult function whose output cannot be predicted so is effectively random, then we use a scoring system to determine when the output wins the lottery and is valid to produce a block". QC makes SHA hashes easy to predict thus invalidating Bitcoin's proof of work (since you can bypass the lottery), but all you need is to swap out the hash for something else that's quantum resistant. Look up quantum resistant hash algorithms or something.

Biocomputers (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_computing) are an emergency technology where biological components are made to store and/or process information for computers. Biocomputers have been made in the past using brain cells (https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn6573-brain-cells-in-a-dish-fly-fighter-plane/) however keeping brain cells alive is both difficult and expensive. Other approaches are currently being tried using fungi and bacteria. (https://www.technologyreview.com/2021/11/09/1039107/e-coli-maze-solving-biocomputer/ https://www.cnet.com/science/pianist-to-perform-musical-duet-with-slime-mold/). There are also approaches in synthetic biology that would use individual biological molecules for computing. (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_computing https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peptide_computing https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcriptor)

I don't know why you would choose that over something personalized.

Peptide based cancer vaccines are also starting to look promising. Not sure if they will be better than mRNA as mRNA can be used to produce antibodies in vivo.

That's true of everything that I posted. I don't think any cancer treatments were allowed without tests. Even the covid vaxx required SOME testing although it was rushed many of the candidates did not make the cut. Still it should never have been forced on people.

Room-temperature superconductors are actually a dangerous technology, and here's why: centralization. Simply put, when the power plant doesn't have to be near the users of said power, whoever can sell power the cheapest will amass customers globally instead of locally. With time, the vast majority of electricity generation will be monopolized by one entity located somewhere like China with lax anti-pollution laws. Thoughts?

Counter point. Joule-thief and or something warm.
Room temp superconductors means the average joe can somehow salvage it and use it for other things.
Put simply they keep on fucking up on having a decent grid and will continue to have an awful grid because that's their back door to shutting down nations.
But putting room temp super conductors into the hands of people, there's some interesting things that can be done.
The short answer is easy to set up ye olde internets connecting people on totally seperate systems and hardware and power.
Moving electrons with minumal resistance allows for some crazy edge cases.

Fun fact, even if copper is better electrical conductor, aluminum is used instead for long distances high voltage lines.
On the same token, superconductor materials are laboratory frankesteins not suitable for mass industrial applications, be by price, be by availability.

I actually think this is a good thing overall. But in my opinion, instead of increasing centralization, superconductors could decentralize power production.
The thing is, fossil fuels don't have a long future ahead, sooner or later we'll fully shift to renewable sources like solar, wind, and hydro.
The problem with these has always been that the best spots to generate that energy are often far from cities or industrial centers. But with superconductors, we could finally take full advantage of all those remote locations and move electricity across long distances with basically no loss.
That means even some underdeveloped countries like in Africa, could become ideal places to generate and export electricity.
Plus, with better solar materials becoming cheaper and more efficient, every household could become a small independent power producer. And with superconductors, it's not just local, a single home could sell electricity back to the grid, or even to companies or governments far away. That could be huge economically.
As for cost, yeah, copper and aluminum don't differ much in resistance to make it worth switching. But even if we only use superconductors for the power generation side, the efficiency and profit increase would still be massive.
And don't forget, we keep discovering and inventing new superconducting materials all the time. So I wouldn’t count this tech out. It could very well become practical and affordable at scale.
