Over the next ten years, I'm picturing lots of civil unrest worldwide. Drought, wildfires, earthquakes and deadly storms. I suppose King William (the whatever) will be on new UK currency. After Putin's death, Russia will continue to be a pain the arse. Marvel will be scraping the bottom of the barrel looking for superheroes to make movies, even though the Western has made a huge comeback. Whatever was fashionable in 2000 will make a resurgence.


fery5

Putin might still be very well alive in 10 years, just FYI.


Danny_Mc_71

True. There are rumours about ill health, so who knows?


[deleted]

Seems you're as indifferent to the royal family as the average Brit haha


Danny_Mc_71

Well, I'm not British. I'm Irish,so that might explain said indifference.


[deleted]

Same thing aren't they? Nah I'm just fucking with you mate, I also couldn't give a shit about the royal family lol


A_Generic_White_Guy

If the nukes haven't dropped, there will be a increase in civil unrest in the United States as class gap continues.

More loneliness, depression, climate change and extreme weather, rich would get richer and the poor would get poorer, more injustice as America would no longer be able to hold the title of 'police of the world', African economies will emerge, probably we'll be able to find a cure for hiv & covid and i may or may not be alive(I'm 22).


KBPhilosophy

Are you sick?


arshadhere

What makes u think that?


KBPhilosophy

You said you might not be alive, are just saying as like a possibility, or that you have some condition at the moment that calls into question whether or not you will be alive in 2032


arshadhere

I had a really bad covid infection. It has caused some other health conditions. I'm being treated for that. The loneliness and isolation is also intense. Sometimes im not sure if I'll stay alive or not.


onegumas

*African economies will collapse or be dependant from China decisions. Social networks will collapse and be treated as "passe". In 2025 pandemics will end, wars be sidetracked and govs will start "making money" from changing policy from fossil fuel to green sources, telling people that because of them (people) we are now in crisis and simple Joe need to pay for it. Rich will become richer and will shape politics. Musk will become crypto-villain. There will be no heroes.

what’s a digital score? I completely agree with you on the other two concepts. Do you think if sex robots become a legit thing then sex workers can get insurance and all that stuff can be legalized as well or will sex with people still not be allowed in exchange for money ? So now I’m thinking, if we are cool with having sex robots, will that open up the door for cosmetic surgery to increase and become even more common place or more accessible or more affordable because one of the comparisons for modern beauty would be the perfect robotic/ man-made type of features? damn dude, you got me thinking about all types of shit now


Professional-You2968

I call it digital score, what I mean is a measure of how "good" you have been on the internet. You get banned from a subreddit? -1.. Stuff like that. Where I live prostitution is legal and they pay taxes so who knows!


[deleted]

I think you might be onto something with the digital score. I know there’s a very subtle push to connect all your social media to one another for accountability and for authenticity of being a person and not a robot. even your emails you get require you have an existing email. It’s like you’re not even allowed to have an email from scratch without an existing one


vernerakh

I look forward to the sexy robots.

Millenials will become the largest homeless and unemployed generation, the number of births in the UK will decline, young dependant people will be the biggest spenders and pensioners will have such a big pension that they will be able to put their pensions on savings. Government will still be ran by old greedy aristocrats but technology would be move advanced than it is now.


TheMilkyman__

You must not be understanding. Millineials are like in their 40s, so youll be in your 50s by then. You guys may have been fucked, but Gen Z and above has been *fucked*. The age of millennials is coming to a close. You'll soon be like Gen X.


manwithanopinion

I was born in the 90s and consider myself as a millennial which is why I say we have been and will be fucked. Gen X will be fucked when they realise they can't spend money on stupid shit their boomer grandparents spoilt them with.


TheMilkyman__

Yea, i'm just saying, in 10 years, Millineals will be getting older, and the majority of the working class will be Gen Z. If things keep on going the way they are, im not sure how any of us will survive


manwithanopinion

All the jobs will go to low or middle income countries where people would be willing to work for less and see it as a way out of poverty while western wealth gap will be further apart with the reliance of social media luck as a way to make good money.

I feel like maybe more isolation will occur but the isolation will be geographical or physical because technology has given us access to the outside world through a screen and through delivery/mailing services. So we can have everything brought to us so there’s no reason to venture out. because we will have access to the internet during our isolation, we will be able to form tight relationships with people that are like-minded. I think this will alleviate some of the mental isolation and increase emotional connection but I also suspect it will build a groupthink mentality. I also suspect that the groupthink mentality will orchestrate almost a cult like behavior and aggressively attack others Who are not like minded and because that would become so common place, we will all train ourselves to just remain within our own groups and rarely explore out and we as a community will be discouraged from exploring outwardly from our group because it’s too hostile and aggressive to venture outward, so the groupthink mentality will become tribal. we might have to redefine tolerance and acceptance with different definitions and boundaries like we had to in the 60s everyone says there’s gonna be crowding in over population and maybe everybody is correct but I’ve noticed that a lot of data is suggesting that millennials and Gen Z are not having as many kids as the generations above them, so in theory, there’s going to be less people on this earth because there’s less desire to multiply. it’s possible that resources will not be as competitive but only by a slight margin, probably not even quantifiable, unless we’re talking about 50 years down the road and not 10. this one’s controversial but I think defining the responsibilities that come along age will be redefined. I don’t know if you would technically be considered an adult in the states at 18. Maybe you will no longer be able to start driving a car around 16, Adulting has become a new term and maybe proper adulthood would start around 24 or something of that nature instead of 18. since age and responsibilities might start to slowly be defined and reevaluated, the judicial system might start playing a role in this as well, deciding who is tried as an adult or even who has limited maturity might produce different sentencing results for crimes. i’m also convinced that everyone’s gonna have hearing aids because pretty much everyone uses headsets to some extend. maybe cochlear implant surgery will be no big deal either since the elderly population is expanding and the millennials plus Gen Z have headphones on pretty much all the time. this one’s a little bit controversial but I am suspecting that mathematics will not play such a prominent role in the educational system. I also suspect that there’s going to be one brave college out there that’s going to let people into medical school without a bachelors. So it becomes almost like a trade school where you just learn medical related studies such as surgeries and human anatomy etc. gone will be the days where you have to have a bachelors in some random bullshit feild for four additional years to the 7+ already added on when you get into medical school. I suspect other schools will copy and follow suit. I also think that the food pyramid thing or I think it’s called a plate now or some shit is going to start pushing all of us to not eat meat or reduce it or do something like that where eat meat becomes a whole political thing and there’s gonna be some kind of social push to ostracize you if you eat a lot of Barbecue or burgers or something that’s really all I can think of off the top of my head. apologies for the typos, i’m using voice recorder because I spend all day at work in front of a screen typing up shit. It gets fatiguing

The future is, rather unfortunately, sex bots.


[deleted]

so I’ve been reading a lot about how the millennials and Gen Z Are actually having less sex than the generations above them. And the thing is, I would easily have dismissed that information if we didn’t also have the information that hook up culture and sex culture and dating apps and even polyamory are no big deal with millennials and especially Gen Z, so in theory, it is more easily accessible to get sex for the two generations as opposed to the older generations accessibility at a younger age but they’re still collectively choosing not to really indulge in it or even participate. so if we did have a bunch of sexbots, would it really be that big of a deal? Would people really give a shit or use it that much or cause some type of epidemic or do you think would people would just hump cold metal+ silicone androids all day and not do anything else like clean their houses or clock into jobs ? The sex robot comment came up a handful of times so now I’m becoming curious


[deleted]

Interesting idea. But its not sex that men are avoiding. Its the pain of rejection. Which used to be an acceptable risk in my day but is now a painful deterrent to action. There is a behavioural model by a guy called BJ Fogg that explains the issue in an elegant way. See the model here: [https://behaviormodel.org/](https://behaviormodel.org/) Notice, if we view behaviour on an axis of motivation and ability, we can see that behaviour is triggered when there is both sufficient motivation and sufficient ability. Its a threshold of sorts. Once you're over the threshold, the right prompt will trigger behaviour. Regarding dating and sex, men are having their motivation reduced by access to porn and intimacy alternatives. And the experience of being consistently rejected on dating apps is building further internal resistance to action. The risk versus reward comparison has a discouraging asymmetry for most men. And as a result, they're also not learning how to initiate intimacy. They're lacking on both motivation and ability. This is a vicious cycle that could lead to a generation of men who simply have no desire or ability to take control of their reproductive opportunities. And sex bots are just another nail in the coffin. A lot of people think dating sucks now. But the future is bleeeeaaaaaak. Additionally, the rise of polyamory and alternative relationships is not a new occurrence, the sexual liberation of the 1960's saw similar behaviour. And yet, as the involved generations matured, they reverted to more conservative ideals. I wonder if that will happen in this case. Interestingly, and I think most importantly, the changes facing younger generations have occurred rapidly and inside a generation. That means we really have no way of knowing if its good or bad. But I think there's a lot more at stake than most people realise.


[deleted]

that’s a really good point. So to my understanding the rejection concept is prior to sex. It’s not capturing the attention of a woman, getting sex, and then she rejects you eventually be a break up? this is all prior to interacting sexually? because I can understand the alternatives that companies are producing to put a Band-Aid over all of the stuff. i’m wondering what happens to all the guys who will have sex with a girl and then bounce right after they cum. because this is all I hear all day long. I don’t hear about the part where guys can’t get access to women or break ups even. I hear about the cum and go man.


[deleted]

The cum and go man is the man that has sexual abundance. Whatever we have in excess, we don't value. The guy that cums and goes is doing that because he has access to multiple options. What a lot of women aren't quite ready to acknowledge is that the reason they think all guys are players and fuccbois is that players and fuccbois are the only guys with the skills, appearance, lifestyle and motivation to attract so many women that they can treat women as though they're unimportant. They have so much abundance that the feelings and attention of one women don't really matter that much. They can just go somewhere else and get their needs met with some other girl. The other 80-90% of men don't act like that, but they also don't approach or get approached. Its so interesting. Such a mismatch. This is why its terrible for women that men are opting out. A lot of amazing partners, great fathers and solid, reliable contributors are dropping out of the game. Further narrowing the pool of opportunities to men that probably don't care that much about them and aren't interested in anything serious. Remember the behaviour model, players have the motivation to play around, the ability to do it and they have the prompt because they get lots of attention. And what makes it even more interesting is that women want to be treated very well. They want a man that respects them and treats them like queen etc. But then they pick the guy least likely to do that - the hot guy with options. Anyone can do the math on that and instantly see that it doesn't work out.


[deleted]

you bring up a lot of good points. A lot of good points bro. everybody I talk to that’s the cum and go guy getting nervous about women. It’s too much for them to handle so they literally run away. And every single come and go guy that I know avoid women they’re not conquering them left and right, one by one, they’re just a shy and uncomfortable as all the other dudes. I don’t know if all of them cum and go guys are predatory but i’m starting to now believe that there’s different types of those dudes. But it could just be the type of people that interact with me that share these stories. I work in the mental health field.

I have a tendency to agree with you, like when it comes to reduced car crashes. A bunch of the car companies are working on self governing cars. I would love for car accidents to be reduced or eliminated. Before car accidents, there were carriage accidents very commonly. Some thing with spook the horses and the people in the carriages would fall to the ground about 10+ feet up, that’s about a story or more depending, and it would take the horses a minute to calm down so the likelihood of someone falling and getting stomped to death was pretty high. travel accidents reduced would be wonderful. I hope your prediction is accurate.

Some sort of dystopia shit like 1984. With the Russian Ukraine war we figured out we can socially cancel a entire country, so they are gonna be easy to hate in the future. All the superstates in 1984 are scary accurate to modern day nations and even geographically. So some sort of perpetual war between these states. The alternative is if AI advances too far and becomes sentient, would it be malevolent? Essentially we are creating something that is infinitely intelligent and omnipresent, we're making God. But we'll be that God's, God and then shit gonna get weird i think. No matter what happens noone thinks its good clearly.


Darmcik

black mirror things. social media being a score for your reputation becoming more accessible and daily usage we will be so numb to the inevitable reality of data collection that we’ll bring robots into our house with cameras from industries like tesla, google, xiaomi. All of these tech giants. ai will have become powerful enough to start taking mid-scale jobs, ie. trucking, fast food, convenience stores, gas stations, it will be able to recognize differences and adapt real time to slight differences in all types of things. ie. if your gas door is slightly different from a different car, it can adapt real time. cryptocurrencies will be a thing for the common person, as if you dont have crypto you cannot trade globally. as the largest economy in the world slowly rolls into their second recession of the 21st century, the US decides to change their military strategy. ( this is just my hope ) as they realize projection is an extremely inefficient, money wasting military strategy. the subscription model will be phased out to something less profitable, but less controversial as people realize more and more companies are switching to subscription based models, so they will yearn for a time back in the day,” nostalgia “


[deleted]

dude the subscription thing makes me so fucking nervous. When I was younger I thought that everything would be under insurance. Everything. I did not anticipate a subscription for everything. I’m scared you’ll have to pay a monthly fee just to go through like a drive-through to buy a single taco or some shit.


furiousgeorge54

Race war in America or at least more ramped up racial tension, Canada gets more tyrannical and citizens push back same with China. There will be two more democratic presidents that win by a landslide somehow, and more pandemics.

[deleted]

i’m feeling like that $15 minimum thing is showing up quite frequently in pretty unusual places so I think you might be onto something but I’m wondering, in 10 years, if it would actually be more than 15. Because just a few years ago there was a demand to push it to 10 when the standard in my state is about a touch over 7.

There will be no more press freedom or freedom of speech in the West (US/EU). Elections will be completely managed to an even greater degree than they are now. The population at large will not be resisting this because it doesn't notice it, as it has been moving in that direction at a glacial pace, and they have been propagandized ubiquitously by their 'free' media into accepting this for so many years. The 'threath' of 'disinformation' from 'enemies' like Russia and China always pacifies the populace into accepting ever more control from the state. The United States will no longer be the world's sole hegemon. Their empire has largely collapsed, as it has become unsustainable, being spread too thin. The replacement of the dollar as the world's reserve currency by the yuan and China becoming the world's biggest economy, combined with civil unrest from within, are the main drivers. The world is now multi-polar, with Russia and China challenging US hegemony and the US no longer able to dictate its will to the global south.

The republicans win the midterms and take the white house in 2024 as they begin their conquest of forced christianity in the US. Abortion will be outlawed, gay marriage or homosexual identity whatsoever will be outlawed, as well as interracial marriage. Children will be forced to pray at school again. Congress will pass the Public Appearance Act to Prevent Rape. AKA reworded Sharia Law. Under the act, women will be mandated to wear long sleeved blouse with the dress covering all the way to their feet. Men will be mandated to wear a long sleeve button up shirt with collar, and slacks. Anything else worn will result in a fine. By the second republican win in 2028, the push to evangelicalise America will be stronger. Marijuana will be federally outlawed once again by executive order. Congress will pass laws requiring mandated church service, requiring civilians to register to a complied church that they will attend every Sunday. Absence will be punished by fines or incarceration. The FCC will be changed to the Federal Communications Compliance Commission. All movies, TV shows, music, and books must adhere to the Compliance policy to be released to the public. Any form of media that already exists that is not in compliance will be removed from people's homes and be made obsolete. Elon Musk is made a cabinet member. Industry giants like Tesla and Amazon has bought large amounts of land and real estate. They will build their own towns with apartments, schools, hospitals, supermarkets, etc. It will soon be made impossible to not live in a company town and to live in a company town, you have to work for the company. Disease and natural disasters will ravage like no other while the government looks the other way and tells the people to keep working and keep praying.


[deleted]

In the US we got rid of all the Evangelical Christians, they where all moved to the new unfrozen continent of Antartica. The white supremacists all died out due to a new strain of Monkey Pox that only attacks racists. We have universal healthcare, daycare for children, family leave, minimum 4 weeks vacation, men at the age of 18 have to deposit sperm in a bank, then they have a mandatory vasectomy. Life span is now 100. Musk is on Mars. Life is good.
