14 yrs ago was betterThe world will probably keep finding different ways to suck but hey, there will probably be at least some cool movies, shows, or games in the next 15 years.
Me too.Me being out of it for the past 14 years
The rich will be richer. The poorer will be poorer. The paying back of finances of this pandemic will take years across the world.Me too.
I think life will be terrible. Every place will be very crowded. Housing prices will be very high, and there will be many more homeless people. Capitalism, due to its nature, will have concentrated even more wealth into fewer hands (no, I'm not a socialist/communist. But capitalism concentrates wealth, while socialism/communism are designed (but fail) to distribute wealth). In many places, fresh water will be hard to come by. I don't think food will be scarce, but I think what we eat will be different - probably lots of corn and soy products. I believe many more species will be extinct. I'm sure pandemics will become the norm, and I wouldn't be surprised if a few more along the lines of Covid come along in the next 14 years.
What blows my mind is how much science fiction stuff in cartoons and movies i watched when i was a kid
isn't fiction anymore.
The possibilities , but i won't be there to see them, hopefully.
I'd like to add that we have a hint of the beginning of asteroid mining. The same will apply to the moon.I believe that life essentially will be the same as today, but with a couple of important differences. By then the shortage of food due to climate change, flooding, desertification, and erosion, as well as some strategic metals and minerals will probably be obvious. China will have the largest economy in the world and perhaps also the largest military. Possibly, there will have been a blood fever pandemic of some kind, with a fairly substantial reduction of the population in dozens of countries.

I think humanity will survive itself long enough to figure out interstellar travel.
edit: I do think humanity will experience nuclear conflict before then though. interregnum achieved.
Its a guarantee as the climate is in a runaway state. There is no stopping it now and its probably been in runaway for decades. If you have property located in a hurricane zone or in an area at risk for desertification/wildfires you need to sell now. Its going to get very serious and very fast. A time is coming where your equity is going to be gone with no chance of recovery in some of these places
I'd definitely be scared of this if I wasn't getting out of here sooner. It's so scary how hot it was the last couple years...even here in Central Europe.Its a guarantee as the climate is in a runaway state.

If you just look at what is projected its going to get pretty nasty. No other way to spin itI'd definitely be scared of this if I wasn't getting out of here sooner. It's so scary how hot it was the last couple years...even here in Central Europe.
We're the smart ones who are jumping ship.If you just look at what is projected its going to get pretty nasty. No other way to spin it
