The Speculative Future

French uses specific tenses to discuss hypothetical futures:

Si l'on pouvait télécharger sa conscience, le ferait-on ? — If one could upload consciousness, would one do it?
À supposer que la singularité advienne... — Assuming the singularity were to occur...

The Philosophical Conditional

The conditional is the tense of philosophical speculation in French:

On pourrait envisager un monde sans maladie. — One could envision a world without disease.
Cela reviendrait à redéfinir l'humanité. — That would amount to redefining humanity.
Ne risquerait-on pas de perdre notre essence ? — Would we not risk losing our essence?

Modals of Possibility

Il se pourrait que (+subj.) — It might be that
Il n'est pas impossible que (+subj.) — It's not impossible that
On peut légitimement se demander si — One may legitimately wonder whether

These structures allow exploring ideas without committing to positions.
