What will be ?Or maybe all finished in Third world war with nuclear weapons

[NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt]

I don't know, I'll be dead by than

Maybe will be medicine against death and people will be live forever

 

[NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt]

Maybe will be medicine against death and people will be live forever

If that happened I would take it in a heartbeat. Also it would have to deage me to where I'm in my younger 20s in regards to health and looks

I am already deage in my 34 i look like on 26 .

Soylent Green. Just saying.

 

[Boss Mog]

It's a good thing we'll be dead because the world will be very different and not in a good way.

 

[Dr. Suchong]

Worse.

 

[IAmRei]

each gen being worse and worse, so by the 2100, it's worse, but multiplied by 10 or more

Imagine being physically an eternal 85-year old while others get to be eternal 20-year olds. I'd probably stop taking the pill. Or put myself in cryo until there was de-aging.

Take a guess. Humanity peaked in the 80s and 90s and it's been going downhill ever since. I assume the next decade or two AI will transform everything similarly like the internet did back in the 00s.
Our basic needs (food, shelter etc.) will be covered better than ever before but socially it'll be downhill battle.

The way things are going...

Very communist, alot more poverty and alot less freedom of expression and freedom in general.

Every gen feels the future will be dystopic so this isnt new.

But I think we are closer to that vision then we've ever been before.

We kind of need one of those drastic movie events where the internet is completely wiped out and social media is pointless

Here's to hoping the young'uns now look at genZ and millennials and just loathe everything and make sweeping changes

I'm not that pessimistic

Humans have always been incredibly great at adapting and solving massive existential problems right when things look the darkest. We will have plenty of massive hurdles to clear over the next few decades, but I'm betting on our ability to engineer our way through them rather than just folding

But global nuclear war is the ultimate wild card. If the big red buttons ever get pushed, there is no tech fix, no clever engineering and no policy pivot that saves the day. It is a true endgame scenario.

It's true.

The apocalypse is always at the horizon.

Sure that would be free and available to everybody, not exclusive to billionaires.

It's hard to predict what society will look like in 20 years, let alone 80.

Fun fact: in one of the books of my fantasy saga, the world ends in 2200, so there's some margin.

 

[kruis]

In 2100 the dystopian novels we read today we'll be seen as happy-go-lucky utopist fiction.

 

[T8SC]

Its coming ... kinda

Give me your clothes, your boots and a ramp.

This is how I see it too.

Every generation lacks confidence in the succeeding one. No doubt life will be VERY different, and we'd probably hate it if we experienced it, but they'll be fine.

 

[Signalis]

Humanity won't make it till then

Spot on. We always judge the future using our own comfort levels, which is a trap imo

The generation born later this century will have their own baseline

People right now in the West are fat, lazy, and live on the internet. Everything points to things getting worse in that regard because it's too lucrative to sell excessive entertainment to people like that.

And immigration wars. Europe will become a battlefield of terror wars, at some point the people of Europe will go against the immigrants, and islam will devolve into terror attacks like it always do, but this time Europeans will perform terror attacks back. People are already on edge and once people start dying frustration will turn into hate.
