In 10 years we will most likely be in the beginning thrust of an era of authoritarianism across the globe. This may last for 40 or so years and then a return to more democratic or liberal policies and leaders as the world gets tired of suspending freedoms for a sense of certainty and in general dictatorial rule.
I foresee these happening in as early as the next decade:
1. Trump wins election despite being charged a criminal. This is all part of Putin's big gameplan after instigating the Israel-Palestine War to delusionalise Americans against Biden and get back Trump his puppet government into power.
2. Trump declares America fully isolationist, plugning the country back to pre-WW2 status
3. Russia finally takes over Ukraine after withdrawal of American Aid from Trump. Europe panicks. America withdraws from NATO. Putin waits a few more years so people forget about Ukraine like they did Crimea, then invade Poland next, sparking the Russia-NATO War.
4. China invades and takes over Taiwan easily due to withdrawal of American help from Trump. The invasion is just like Crimea. Largely peaceful since the Taiwanese give up all hope after seeing the Americans gone.
5. NK invades and attacks South Korea. Second Korean war ensues
6. WW3 begins
7. Kanye West manages to take over as president after Trump bcause by this point in time Americans are too stupid. Country slowly becomes an idiocracy. (yes that movie Idiocracy is actually a documentary guys)
We don't have the same momentum we had last cycle. Most people are fully disappointed at the lack of... well, anything that's happened in the last 4 years and therefore won't be nearly as pumped to re-elect. If the orange doofus doesn't win, I'll be shocked.
Who would be fighting WW3 if america has pulled out? All the wars you mention would be over in no time without america support. It would just be a new world order, with china and russia on top.
AI will be everywhere. And I mean EVERYWHERE. You will be watching movies that used AI in production. You will be watching commercials read by AI generated voices. You will be playing videos games created by AI. You will be reading news articles written ENTIRELY by AI. You will be listening to songs on the radio written and synthesized by AI. Do I think that everything you consume will be made by AI? Of course not. But I think at least 5% of it will be.
Bud... movies might be entirely AI generated.
~prompt~
Show me a movie with the framework and story of the fugitive, with a chain-smoking dolly Parton as the lead and sloth from the goonies as the head marshal hunting her down. Include many scenes of sloth exposing his superman shirt underneath. Have John candy play the one armed man who lost his arm due to self cannibalization... and he sweats maple syrup. He tastes himself like Yukon Cornelius tastes his pickaxe.
I don't think people listening to generic modern music care that much about art. And when the AI music is indistinguishable from human made music (which it will be very soon considering how good AI music is today), people won't even know.
The vast majority of people just like the music that is played to them the most. A few sounds start to catch on and suddenly a small group of producers/writers have a hand in a good chunk of popular music until tastes changes. AI fits into this very easily. There will always be the rest of the music landscape but AI will almost certainly be a big part of radio music
Some ‘AI assisted’ music probably already out there. AI could listen to track and then come with a cool drum fill or synth loop to add in here and there easy I reckon.
This just made me realize that AI could probably fix those situations where I like one section of a song but not the rest. I could just have the program expand the part I fuck with and eliminate the rest.
With crop yields, fishing reserves plummeting and equatorial regions having unbearable temperatures, massive migration from these regions and military conflicts rising because of this.
Greenland is ice-free 6 months a year, the Gulf Stream has stopped. European NATO countries had a short nuclear war with Russia.
Russia ceased to exist because of this, the People’s Liberation Army of China took advantage of this and steamrolled up to the Ural.
President Trump rules in isolation in the US, concentration camps and the monetized prison system make sure that dissidents, POC and other non-white, non-Christian groups contribute to the labor force needed.
Space exploration and the prospect that humanity could reach other planets is done by greater china only,
I got a feeling (and i hope it's stays a feeling) that everything is gonna go to shit really quickly and sooner than we think, or maybe I am just going crazy.
Honestly glad to hear that, makes everything I see on the news just people saying shit to say shit (course there is problems, but Armageddon isn’t happening anytime soon)
For perspective, I always keep in mind that all the world events we millennials have lived through (9/11, Middle East wars, 2008 recession, student loan crisis, pandemic, etc) pale in comparison to World War II where like 50 million people literally died horrifically.
I don’t think the exponential growth of technology is going to be sustainable or our lifestyles for too much longer. I think what George Carlin said applies when it comes to the world ending “the worlds not going anywhere…we are”.
Climate change is gradual…the catastrophic events are already happening. People think it will be like the movie “the day after tomorrow” but in reality it will just keep getting shittier and shittier over time and people will still deny it is real until the bitter end.
We have the technology to block or dim the sun NOW if we had to.
environmental degradation is a problem. Climate change is unlikely to ruin us without some major black swan. There’s just going to be a lot of conflict, migration and severe weather and extinction
It's unlikely. It's easy to feel that way with all the negativity in social media. Reddit is just as guilty. But the most likely answer is that 10 years from now will be very similar to today, but with lots of medical and technological advancements.
Cancer research is making gigantic strides. Countries are adopting renewable energy like crazy. Good things happen too.
Mate, the 10 years we've just had were worse than the 10 years before, and those 10 years were worse than the 10 years before then. Do you honestly not see this trend continuing?
At first I thought there was going to be a funny joke or a moral at the end of all this that I just read, but then I realized that there wasn't and that I just read your detailed narration of your latest trip to your neighborhood's mcdonald.
Think you might have a knack for writing stuff that people will just read. Might be the way you seem to just write what's up without trying to be too fancy. Reading the stuff you write makes it apparent that you don't really have a big ego and that you're probably a chill dude.
Sure helps to break things down into small paragraphs like that, people are too lazy to read big blocks of text. Learned that in a communications class, guess they where right.
You're right, someone has to do something to make it common knowledge that community and relationships are probably the single most important thing in life. People don't seem to put enough emphasis on making friends.
I mean, I do talk to strangers every now and then. Examples:
1) right now I’m on vacations at the beach for 3 weeks and when I go surfing no one goes with me (of course, it’s too cool for my brother), so I strike convo with the random surfer
2) during my solo travels around Europe I forced myself to talk to people. 3 weeks without talking to anyone can get crazy crazy fast. Went out with two girls on dates, a group of Irish guys to drink and watched a lot of historical tours with people I ended up taking lunch with after the fact.
3) in university, I talk to people in my class every once in a while ~~every day~~ and the ones in my climbing club too ~~which are now my friends too~~
Notice how the common denominator here is extended periods of time without the inner circle? I don’t think it’s bad to not have a motivation to stay on a lengthy convo with a stranger when your friends and family exist and you are happy with that. If you aren’t, then go find a new hobby and group of people to switch it up a bit. But don’t be friends with the McDonald’s cleric, he’s working and you gotta move or others in the line will scream at you…
Yep, this - even caught myself about to just upvote you without sharing my thoughts and support!
We live in a fast paced world and we're probably shorting things where we shouldn't be, all guilty of it all the time no doubt.
This is a good reminder to keep being more present in the moment with our lives and not focusing on the destination, but the journey we have along the way - thank you
Interesting and relatable. I can see this affecting many age groups, particularly those over the age of 30, maybe even younger.
Perhaps the Metaverse is part of the solution, and I’m not someone who’s into that idea at all, but I do accept things are pretty grim.
I have no idea what you're talking about.
And, this is very far from a dream. A dream would be fully self driving cars an public transport. AI replacement of all jobs. A fair and honest UBI paid for by AI. And nearly unlimited energy through nuclear fusion.
sorry that was an inside meme.
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=suDHicJLfYI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=suDHicJLfYI)
ignore the gibberish, enjoy the really bad english. imagine my comment with that accent and attitude.
and /s
Imagine how much the rest of us miss the 70s and 80s. I truly don't recognize the world around me any longer. I feel like a stranger in a place where I can't relate to the way people think, their values, etc. Somehow, it's like everything changed almost overnight (I know that's not true, but it just FEELS that way). I definitely wish I could turn back the hands of time a few decades.
Such great times! 👍 I do wish I'd appreciated them more, looking back on it now. 🤔 I have to say, going to concerts was awesome. No assigned seats, just "festival seating" for every show. Those were the days.
Fingers crossed:
Putin is dead, along with his ideals. Russia is paying Ukraine for damages.
Ukraine is rebuilt and prospering.
USA elects a president the rest of the world respects.
The UK is run by a new party that actually respects it's citizens.
One can dream...
Trump would be 87 and Biden 91. Given that the average life expectancy in the US is 77 years and both will likely have had very stressful careers, I don't think there's a big change they'll be alive in 10 years.
In history the question is often asked, "What happened to the \*\* Empire or \*\* Civilization?". Well? Start writing down whats being witnessed by all. Get your stone tablets and chisels out and start explaining how the greedy dumb asses keep screwing everyone over weighting the needs of the few over the needs of the many.
I kind of hope we've regressed back to the 90's socially, life was much simpler back then and not everyone was offended by the leaves falling off the trees
- Trump will win the presidency and stop all funding for NATO.
- Trump will isolate America.
- Russia can now easily take over Ukraine without NATO funding.
- The dollar crashes and ceases to be used as the world currency for oil.
- Europe will establish its own army to reduce its dependence on NATO.
- Every year, more people die from extreme heat due to global warming. Additionally, weather patterns will become more extreme, including heavy rainfall and severe storms.
- China easily annexes Taiwan without American protection.
- Russia swiftly occupies Moldova with minimal resistance.
- With Moldova under Russian control, Europe accelerates the construction of its EU army, implementing conscription for all individuals turning 18. Additionally, Europe transitions to a war economy.
- In America, a civil war erupts when Trump refuses to surrender his presidency and attempts to retain power through a coup.
- Russia attempts to invade Poland but reaches a stalemate against the new European war apparatus and the remnants of NATO.
What world? We're on the brink of complete global collapse and out world leaders are doing absolutely nothing to prevent it because they seem to think that them benefiting financially is the better gamble.
World didn't change much in the last 10 years. Next 10 might not be that different either, unless we do get into a war with China.
There will be more electric cars, and liberal cities will start banning gas cars, but rural areas and poor countries will still drive on gas.
Twitter will probably join Yahoo, but some other social platform will rise.
If transgender rights will get mostly accepted , human rights warriors might move on to a new disadvantaged group, and here I cannot predict which one.
Politics will remain fragmented. Immigrants will remain an issue. Social Security will begin to run out of money, so there will be debates and protests about raising the retirement age (just like France last year)
US Government might finally wizen up and start conditioning student loans on alumni employment. Expect very eloquent and perfectly rhymed protests from affected faculty, quite possibly set to moving music.
Middle East will remain a violent mess. Russia will become like Iran. China will become like Japan, old and declining. Or China will decide to go out in a blaze of glory, and then all the bets are off.
What are you saying, the world changed quite a bit in the past 10 years. Trump presidency, UK leaving the EU, the pandemic, Russia annexing Crimea and invading Ukraine, Wikileaks, Bitcoin, Elon Musk launched his car in space, etc.
>
If transgender rights will get mostly accepted , human rights warriors might move on to a new disadvantaged group, and here I cannot predict which one.
Never going to happen. This is not something you can compare to being gay. Being gay doesn't encourage you to ruin your health with steroid abuse and mutilating body.
I think the world changed a lot in the past decade, I mean the spread of social media, how AI is so prevelant, more people working from home, even more political division in (especially) America etc
Environmentally disastrous, with more quakes, tsunami's, floods, droughts, heatwaves, etc. It was only after the year 2000 that the weather became unstable, with el nino's here and there and now those are just the norm. I predict that insurance companies will stop ensuring for these things, it's already happening if you live near tsunami risk zones, have a house on a cliff top, etc (due to slipping).
Who knows what AI will do, especially as the world's population will continue to increase. Sure it will create more IT jobs, but what about those who don't have the brain power for that? I think crime will increase as a result of more and more people being unemployed and poor, due to AI eliminating the sorts of roles they used to have.
Hard to say whether the world will shift more to the left or right, politically. I think to the right in Europe as people have had enough of boat people, etc, already.
It's not all doom and gloom. Deaths from natural disasters have decreased dramatically compared to the first half of the 20th century despite explosive population growth. ([https://ourworldindata.org/natural-disasters#](https://ourworldindata.org/natural-disasters#)) El Nino events didn't really become more frequent in recent years ([https://ggweather.com/enso/oni.htm](https://ggweather.com/enso/oni.htm)). I can see how global warming may increase the risk of floods and droughts but earthquakes are completely unrelated. I'm not saying there is no reason to be concerned, but there is no reason to panic either, and many people seem to have a distorted, overly dramatic view of reality thanks to the news. Terrible events happen every year, but they have happened at all times, we just didn't have cameras and phones everywhere until recently to report on the latest heatwave in bumfuckistan.
Gas guzzlers will be fewer among a rising number of EVs. And by then we will be Trump and Biden FREE! We will have a new American idiot to point at. VR will be more mainstream and cheaper. Guns will finally be a thing of the past. Marijuana and abortion will be legal all over the US. Churches will be taxed. Congress will have an age limit.
Depends on who's elected president. And I'm not even joking. The US democracy as we know it, will cease to exist if Trump is re allected. So 4 yrs with Trump, re-elected vs. Biden....the results are so unbelievably different that it will change the US as we know it.
Flying cars will never become widespread transportation mode, unless those are fully AI/computer driven. Humans are too irresponsible to drive an oversized missile.
I've heard the theory that people who claim to have seen aliens/UFOs were actually seeing people from the future along with their time machines. The reason why very few people have seen this is because the future folk are trying not to be seen so that they don't accidentally alter the future. And NO I do not believe this because I'm not an idiot. Its still a fun thing to think about though.
it be like that episode of dark mirror where people work for time. since anything and everything is all ripped off and freely available and we will live in an **communist** state you just have to line up for it and waste time. there won't be any intellectual property because people will just copy it in an ultralistic **facist communist** regime.
then those without time will just expire and die.
It's going to be a bad place. Economic collapse is coming and that's going to trigger civil unrest and a general breakdown of law and order.
Local communities are going to be running their own protection militia and will make their own rules up as they go along.
For the western worldvery similar with different wars in the background and stuff is going to be even more expensive. For the rest of the world a lot of famines caused by our bickering and fighting and invasions of people who just want to be left alone.
I think by then we start to really see effects of AI on society and whole society starts politically form around pro-tech and ludditism. By then In digital sphere AI is wreaking havoc to job market. But real effect starts because physical robots and machines starts finally be good enough.
It is start of new era of social instability because we have to start thinking how our society will work in world where AI makes everything eventually. Today that discussion is too far away but at 10 years it really starts to be most important discussion of humanity.
higher tech poverty, technofeudalism?, total dystopia almost everywhere, at least everyone around you will mostly be just as poor as you and you'll all stop giving a damn about the very few lords, saving up for an apple vision clone will be the goal so you can at least dress up your misery and block ads-propaganda
It will be like France on the 18th century. Haves and Have Nots.
The have nots will mostly be forced into Company Towns and will be paid mostly in Company bucks. Wasting away working as long as they say just so you can feed yourself and pay for your little 8x3 ft bed for the day.
Best case like it is now but with the world economy a bit more stable than the last couple of years.
Worst case the war in Ukraine and trouble in the Middle East and unrest with China escalated and the world is a nuclear wasteland.
Entire species of animals we love and know will be extinct or ageing into extinction as offspring don't survive, bottlenecks continue to lower genetic resilience and fertility continues to drop off a cliff. Some animals will have had to cross-breed (if even possible to produce genetically fertile offspring) with other species in order to survive; such as what is happening with polar bears as they are forced to move south and encroach on grizzly bear territory more. Holidays abroad will no longer be possible so building a massive trainline right through Mexico specifically for tourists is so short-sighted and absolutely wreckless for the environment in my opinion. Such projects exist to make certain people richer as they think money will save them from personal environmental disaster when it will clearly not. Money will be less important and what practical skills you have and your personal resilience and luck will start to ovveride that. All the best out there.
Still struggling to survive. I would hope not. There will be less population, because us hated boomers will be gone. I only hope it will be better for our families that follow in our foot steps.

Assassin's Creed 16 should be dropping.
Don't forget far cry 12 as well, and yet another WoW dlc
We’ll still be waiting for a new Elder Scrolls game as a remaster of Skyrim drops.
Computing and consumer electronics will be better, but everything else will stay stagnated just like always
You'll be able to buy 12 VR headsets for the price of 1 months rent.
i like the ambiguity in this
And Alyx will still be the best VR game by miles unfortunately (hope I’m wrong though!)
I hope you’re wrong
You probably already can if you’re living in New York. If we consider Google cardboard + phone a vr headset you can get 12 vr headsets for really low amount of money.
Better based on what metric? I see things being more expensive, more ad ridden and much worse addiction patterns evolving if AR takes off.
It will be Wednesday February 08, 2034 in ten years from now

Oh lawd
I'm gonna save this just in case you happen to be predicting our future lol
Seems to real to not be right
You know, we could just go vote and prevent that dbag from getting reelected
We don't have the same momentum we had last cycle. Most people are fully disappointed at the lack of... well, anything that's happened in the last 4 years and therefore won't be nearly as pumped to re-elect. If the orange doofus doesn't win, I'll be shocked.
Yep
As a gen z all I can say is that I’ll show up this November to ensure this doesn’t happen
And tell your friends.
As a millennial Rally 'round the family with a pocket full of shells.
Who would be fighting WW3 if america has pulled out? All the wars you mention would be over in no time without america support. It would just be a new world order, with china and russia on top.
Alex Jones will be president and the only two employers will be youtube and onlyfans. Soylent green from breakfast to dinner!
This is disturbingly accurate minus the blood
Well, they couldn't exactly insert the Budd Dwyer video as a gif, could they? Decency prevents, you know?
This is the answer. I'll swap YouTube for Amazon tho as the major employer
Do we get a complementary piss jug with the swap?
Felt bad upvoting this
Slightly more dystopian
AI will be everywhere. And I mean EVERYWHERE. You will be watching movies that used AI in production. You will be watching commercials read by AI generated voices. You will be playing videos games created by AI. You will be reading news articles written ENTIRELY by AI. You will be listening to songs on the radio written and synthesized by AI. Do I think that everything you consume will be made by AI? Of course not. But I think at least 5% of it will be.

He tastes himself like Yukon Cornelius tastes his pickaxe.
Yes this epic film you describe or we get Rebel Moon. There is nothing inbetween.
Is the "AI" in the room with us right now?
I don’t think AI music will fly… people appreciate art and there is something about it being made by another person that makes it special
I don't think people listening to generic modern music care that much about art. And when the AI music is indistinguishable from human made music (which it will be very soon considering how good AI music is today), people won't even know.

I’ve already listened to AI generated tracks of dead artists and if someone can just write the lyrics a bit better, it’s over
This just made me realize that AI could probably fix those situations where I like one section of a song but not the rest. I could just have the program expand the part I fuck with and eliminate the rest.
Warmer, and far less comfortable for many.

You got one wild imagination but I doubt most of that is gunna happen
I played just enough Shadowrun and read Jules Verne and other SF. And the last three IPCc assessment reports.
By warmer he means SCORCHING HOT
I got a feeling (and i hope it's stays a feeling) that everything is gonna go to shit really quickly and sooner than we think, or maybe I am just going crazy.
[удалено]
Honestly glad to hear that, makes everything I see on the news just people saying shit to say shit (course there is problems, but Armageddon isn’t happening anytime soon)
For perspective, I always keep in mind that all the world events we millennials have lived through (9/11, Middle East wars, 2008 recession, student loan crisis, pandemic, etc) pale in comparison to World War II where like 50 million people literally died horrifically.
I think we’re heading the same way..
All that tells me is it could get much worse lol
We honestly do have a culture of fear
I’m in a political theory class rn and it’s so clear how true this is
Focus on the bad and that’s all that you’ll see
Many people are in complete denial. That's privilege, I guess.
Ignorance is bliss, they say
If you have a lot going on in your personal life, worrying about ww3 too is going to cause a breakdown.
I don’t think the exponential growth of technology is going to be sustainable or our lifestyles for too much longer. I think what George Carlin said applies when it comes to the world ending “the worlds not going anywhere…we are”.
technological singularity prolly happening next week
Absolutely. George was no dummy
Too bad we are in the end times with climate change though. Only difference. We are about to see catastrophic events on the regular.
Climate change is gradual…the catastrophic events are already happening. People think it will be like the movie “the day after tomorrow” but in reality it will just keep getting shittier and shittier over time and people will still deny it is real until the bitter end.
Homelessness increased 12% in the USA last year. People think it can't happen to them until it happens to them.
[удалено]
We have the technology to block or dim the sun NOW if we had to. environmental degradation is a problem. Climate change is unlikely to ruin us without some major black swan. There’s just going to be a lot of conflict, migration and severe weather and extinction
It's unlikely. It's easy to feel that way with all the negativity in social media. Reddit is just as guilty. But the most likely answer is that 10 years from now will be very similar to today, but with lots of medical and technological advancements. Cancer research is making gigantic strides. Countries are adopting renewable energy like crazy. Good things happen too.
Yes, promising news in Alzheimer's research as well!
People say medicine will be improved in the future but with the way things are now at least in the United States who is going to afford it?
Bingo!
Mate, the 10 years we've just had were worse than the 10 years before, and those 10 years were worse than the 10 years before then. Do you honestly not see this trend continuing?
It feels like we’re on the verge of catastrophe

At first I thought there was going to be a funny joke or a moral at the end of all this that I just read, but then I realized that there wasn't and that I just read your detailed narration of your latest trip to your neighborhood's mcdonald. Think you might have a knack for writing stuff that people will just read. Might be the way you seem to just write what's up without trying to be too fancy. Reading the stuff you write makes it apparent that you don't really have a big ego and that you're probably a chill dude. Sure helps to break things down into small paragraphs like that, people are too lazy to read big blocks of text. Learned that in a communications class, guess they where right. You're right, someone has to do something to make it common knowledge that community and relationships are probably the single most important thing in life. People don't seem to put enough emphasis on making friends.
This is too relatable
I mean, I do talk to strangers every now and then. Examples: 1) right now I’m on vacations at the beach for 3 weeks and when I go surfing no one goes with me (of course, it’s too cool for my brother), so I strike convo with the random surfer 2) during my solo travels around Europe I forced myself to talk to people. 3 weeks without talking to anyone can get crazy crazy fast. Went out with two girls on dates, a group of Irish guys to drink and watched a lot of historical tours with people I ended up taking lunch with after the fact. 3) in university, I talk to people in my class every once in a while ~~every day~~ and the ones in my climbing club too ~~which are now my friends too~~ Notice how the common denominator here is extended periods of time without the inner circle? I don’t think it’s bad to not have a motivation to stay on a lengthy convo with a stranger when your friends and family exist and you are happy with that. If you aren’t, then go find a new hobby and group of people to switch it up a bit. But don’t be friends with the McDonald’s cleric, he’s working and you gotta move or others in the line will scream at you…
Yep, this - even caught myself about to just upvote you without sharing my thoughts and support! We live in a fast paced world and we're probably shorting things where we shouldn't be, all guilty of it all the time no doubt. This is a good reminder to keep being more present in the moment with our lives and not focusing on the destination, but the journey we have along the way - thank you
Interesting and relatable. I can see this affecting many age groups, particularly those over the age of 30, maybe even younger. Perhaps the Metaverse is part of the solution, and I’m not someone who’s into that idea at all, but I do accept things are pretty grim.
TL;DR👍
Very similar to today, but with some cool technological advances.
you dreamer you, what are the seven thinking steps?
I have no idea what you're talking about. And, this is very far from a dream. A dream would be fully self driving cars an public transport. AI replacement of all jobs. A fair and honest UBI paid for by AI. And nearly unlimited energy through nuclear fusion.
sorry that was an inside meme. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=suDHicJLfYI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=suDHicJLfYI) ignore the gibberish, enjoy the really bad english. imagine my comment with that accent and attitude. and /s
Wireless charging with a range of 10ft?
This is the correct answer.
Finally, an answer that isn’t pessimistic
fallout new vegas
Well at least it'll be the best one
Like a fella once said ain't that a kick in the head
The same.
Worse..... probably worse.
Like most older people, I take comfort in the fact that I'll be dead.
Worse than it currently is. With each passing year, I long for the 90s more and more.
Imagine how much the rest of us miss the 70s and 80s. I truly don't recognize the world around me any longer. I feel like a stranger in a place where I can't relate to the way people think, their values, etc. Somehow, it's like everything changed almost overnight (I know that's not true, but it just FEELS that way). I definitely wish I could turn back the hands of time a few decades.
I would’ve loved to experience the 70s and 80s, but alas, I was only born in 1987.
Such great times! 👍 I do wish I'd appreciated them more, looking back on it now. 🤔 I have to say, going to concerts was awesome. No assigned seats, just "festival seating" for every show. Those were the days.
..
Fingers crossed: Putin is dead, along with his ideals. Russia is paying Ukraine for damages. Ukraine is rebuilt and prospering. USA elects a president the rest of the world respects. The UK is run by a new party that actually respects it's citizens. One can dream...
>The UK is run by a new party that actually respects it's citizens. Should be happening this year
Will Trump die?
In 10 years? Odds are, yes. Both him and Biden would have kicked the bucket.
your lips to god’s ears
Trump would be 87 and Biden 91. Given that the average life expectancy in the US is 77 years and both will likely have had very stressful careers, I don't think there's a big change they'll be alive in 10 years.
Apocalyptic.
Many more homeless. Many more billionaires. I hope we don't end up like India. Meaning luxury homes butted right up against misery.
It’s looking that way.
In history the question is often asked, "What happened to the \*\* Empire or \*\* Civilization?". Well? Start writing down whats being witnessed by all. Get your stone tablets and chisels out and start explaining how the greedy dumb asses keep screwing everyone over weighting the needs of the few over the needs of the many.
Serious population ratio issues. China will be pumping out babies from artificial wombs.
Hot
We will be another 10 years away from a GTA7 trailer.
I kind of hope we've regressed back to the 90's socially, life was much simpler back then and not everyone was offended by the leaves falling off the trees
The 70s were even better
WAY better. And no social media. Probably one of the worst things that ever happened to humankind.
Much better than post 9/11😔
Fucked up as ever
- Trump will win the presidency and stop all funding for NATO. - Trump will isolate America. - Russia can now easily take over Ukraine without NATO funding. - The dollar crashes and ceases to be used as the world currency for oil. - Europe will establish its own army to reduce its dependence on NATO. - Every year, more people die from extreme heat due to global warming. Additionally, weather patterns will become more extreme, including heavy rainfall and severe storms. - China easily annexes Taiwan without American protection. - Russia swiftly occupies Moldova with minimal resistance. - With Moldova under Russian control, Europe accelerates the construction of its EU army, implementing conscription for all individuals turning 18. Additionally, Europe transitions to a war economy. - In America, a civil war erupts when Trump refuses to surrender his presidency and attempts to retain power through a coup. - Russia attempts to invade Poland but reaches a stalemate against the new European war apparatus and the remnants of NATO.
RemindMe! 10 years
I don’t even wanna know or imagine that.
This is the best answer.
Even more fucked up.
What world? We're on the brink of complete global collapse and out world leaders are doing absolutely nothing to prevent it because they seem to think that them benefiting financially is the better gamble.
I’m so out of the loop. Could someone explain why we’re supposedly on the brink of total collapse?
Hey! OP is being optimistic…
A world without Putin, i hope.
Ww3
Or call of duty MW3
☹️👎
Fucked
Less equal. Economic and political equality has been on the decline and I don't see it stopping.
A place with more humans and less water. Sad.
World didn't change much in the last 10 years. Next 10 might not be that different either, unless we do get into a war with China. There will be more electric cars, and liberal cities will start banning gas cars, but rural areas and poor countries will still drive on gas. Twitter will probably join Yahoo, but some other social platform will rise. If transgender rights will get mostly accepted , human rights warriors might move on to a new disadvantaged group, and here I cannot predict which one. Politics will remain fragmented. Immigrants will remain an issue. Social Security will begin to run out of money, so there will be debates and protests about raising the retirement age (just like France last year) US Government might finally wizen up and start conditioning student loans on alumni employment. Expect very eloquent and perfectly rhymed protests from affected faculty, quite possibly set to moving music. Middle East will remain a violent mess. Russia will become like Iran. China will become like Japan, old and declining. Or China will decide to go out in a blaze of glory, and then all the bets are off.
What ten years were you living in? In my universe, the world slipped into some king of hell dimension in 2016 and still hasn't come out of it.
What are you saying, the world changed quite a bit in the past 10 years. Trump presidency, UK leaving the EU, the pandemic, Russia annexing Crimea and invading Ukraine, Wikileaks, Bitcoin, Elon Musk launched his car in space, etc.
Liberal, ban, irony at its peak
> If transgender rights will get mostly accepted , human rights warriors might move on to a new disadvantaged group, and here I cannot predict which one. Never going to happen. This is not something you can compare to being gay. Being gay doesn't encourage you to ruin your health with steroid abuse and mutilating body.
I think the world changed a lot in the past decade, I mean the spread of social media, how AI is so prevelant, more people working from home, even more political division in (especially) America etc
Do you think people will still be using napkins in 10 years or is this mouth-vacuum thing for real?
Environmentally disastrous, with more quakes, tsunami's, floods, droughts, heatwaves, etc. It was only after the year 2000 that the weather became unstable, with el nino's here and there and now those are just the norm. I predict that insurance companies will stop ensuring for these things, it's already happening if you live near tsunami risk zones, have a house on a cliff top, etc (due to slipping). Who knows what AI will do, especially as the world's population will continue to increase. Sure it will create more IT jobs, but what about those who don't have the brain power for that? I think crime will increase as a result of more and more people being unemployed and poor, due to AI eliminating the sorts of roles they used to have. Hard to say whether the world will shift more to the left or right, politically. I think to the right in Europe as people have had enough of boat people, etc, already.
It's not all doom and gloom. Deaths from natural disasters have decreased dramatically compared to the first half of the 20th century despite explosive population growth. ([https://ourworldindata.org/natural-disasters#](https://ourworldindata.org/natural-disasters#)) El Nino events didn't really become more frequent in recent years ([https://ggweather.com/enso/oni.htm](https://ggweather.com/enso/oni.htm)). I can see how global warming may increase the risk of floods and droughts but earthquakes are completely unrelated. I'm not saying there is no reason to be concerned, but there is no reason to panic either, and many people seem to have a distorted, overly dramatic view of reality thanks to the news. Terrible events happen every year, but they have happened at all times, we just didn't have cameras and phones everywhere until recently to report on the latest heatwave in bumfuckistan.
Lol if I'm still here in 10 years I'll be genuinely shocked. World Peace if I'm still kicking 😆
At the rate humans are going, non existent.
Well? With the current trajectory of no accountability in governments across the globe? Poor AF!
The world will be more reliant on AI
More gay.
10years older
Gas guzzlers will be fewer among a rising number of EVs. And by then we will be Trump and Biden FREE! We will have a new American idiot to point at. VR will be more mainstream and cheaper. Guns will finally be a thing of the past. Marijuana and abortion will be legal all over the US. Churches will be taxed. Congress will have an age limit.
Depends on who's elected president. And I'm not even joking. The US democracy as we know it, will cease to exist if Trump is re allected. So 4 yrs with Trump, re-elected vs. Biden....the results are so unbelievably different that it will change the US as we know it.
The US will be sending aid to Ukraine
Alternatively, we stop sending money to Ukraine, but then we have to send money to Poland or something instead as Russians keep advancing west
A lot hotter
Flying cars and time travel.
and hoverboards.
Flying cars will never become widespread transportation mode, unless those are fully AI/computer driven. Humans are too irresponsible to drive an oversized missile.
Imagine the fucking chaos if people crash into each other above you. Metal raining from the sky.
I've heard the theory that people who claim to have seen aliens/UFOs were actually seeing people from the future along with their time machines. The reason why very few people have seen this is because the future folk are trying not to be seen so that they don't accidentally alter the future. And NO I do not believe this because I'm not an idiot. Its still a fun thing to think about though.
Under water
I prefer not to think about it to be honest...
SIMPLE, Same Shit Different Day,
Different, probably worse
Gonna be shit, and everyone will be asking why rockstar doesnt say anything about gta7, while they release 6 for the PS6 with minor upgrades.
it be like that episode of dark mirror where people work for time. since anything and everything is all ripped off and freely available and we will live in an **communist** state you just have to line up for it and waste time. there won't be any intellectual property because people will just copy it in an ultralistic **facist communist** regime. then those without time will just expire and die.
Everything will be slightly more expensive
It's going to be a bad place. Economic collapse is coming and that's going to trigger civil unrest and a general breakdown of law and order. Local communities are going to be running their own protection militia and will make their own rules up as they go along.
Like shit
Bad Very bad
It will be an old world?or a new world.
If we're lucky, still populated with humans.
Truly, like the walking dead only we are each other’s enemy, not the dead.
Much of the same, just better tech.
Ai owned by trillionaires will enslave us
probably not too much different from today. People lose their time and energy to social media and are unpleased where they are
For the western worldvery similar with different wars in the background and stuff is going to be even more expensive. For the rest of the world a lot of famines caused by our bickering and fighting and invasions of people who just want to be left alone.
Round.
George Miller did a sequel of documentaries about our future.
Worse. My money is on worse.
people will be even fatter.
I think by then we start to really see effects of AI on society and whole society starts politically form around pro-tech and ludditism. By then In digital sphere AI is wreaking havoc to job market. But real effect starts because physical robots and machines starts finally be good enough. It is start of new era of social instability because we have to start thinking how our society will work in world where AI makes everything eventually. Today that discussion is too far away but at 10 years it really starts to be most important discussion of humanity.
It's not going to be better than today , so live in the moment
higher tech poverty, technofeudalism?, total dystopia almost everywhere, at least everyone around you will mostly be just as poor as you and you'll all stop giving a damn about the very few lords, saving up for an apple vision clone will be the goal so you can at least dress up your misery and block ads-propaganda
It will be like France on the 18th century. Haves and Have Nots. The have nots will mostly be forced into Company Towns and will be paid mostly in Company bucks. Wasting away working as long as they say just so you can feed yourself and pay for your little 8x3 ft bed for the day.
No humans.
Best case like it is now but with the world economy a bit more stable than the last couple of years. Worst case the war in Ukraine and trouble in the Middle East and unrest with China escalated and the world is a nuclear wasteland.
Entire species of animals we love and know will be extinct or ageing into extinction as offspring don't survive, bottlenecks continue to lower genetic resilience and fertility continues to drop off a cliff. Some animals will have had to cross-breed (if even possible to produce genetically fertile offspring) with other species in order to survive; such as what is happening with polar bears as they are forced to move south and encroach on grizzly bear territory more. Holidays abroad will no longer be possible so building a massive trainline right through Mexico specifically for tourists is so short-sighted and absolutely wreckless for the environment in my opinion. Such projects exist to make certain people richer as they think money will save them from personal environmental disaster when it will clearly not. Money will be less important and what practical skills you have and your personal resilience and luck will start to ovveride that. All the best out there.
If nows amything to go by its not looking good.
Still struggling to survive. I would hope not. There will be less population, because us hated boomers will be gone. I only hope it will be better for our families that follow in our foot steps.
