2016-2116: What will we acheive ?

Postby Independent Water City-State » Wed Jul 20, 2016 11:46 am

O.k . Considering the year is 2016,what do you think we can achieve a 100 years later ? You can sort of see the start of tendencies which will get worse over the next 100 years.
Personally, I believe that Europe will become part of the Caliphate and we will have problems with radical Islamist terrorism. I also believe we will be mining the moon and other planets.
What do you think positive will happened in the nest 100 years ? What negative things ? What social movements will be accepted by society ? Will civil rights grow for certain minority groups ? Will any movement for universal rights be established or begin in a 100 years ? What technology will grow ? Will we have a machine that you can program visual, auditory and tactile hallucinations and be totally engrossed in your own fantasy world ? Tell me what you think the next 100 years will bring that is positive and also what you think will be negative .I am interested in hearing your responses, O NSers !!

My question is, will we establish a place on Mars we could live there for a long time ?

The Jackpot refers to an escalating series of wars, economic/political collapses, famines and upheavals driven by anthropocentric climate change and a number of other factors that lead to the breakdown of the Westphalian system and a lengthy depopulation event between the 2040's and the 22nd century.

I see two possibilites for what will happen by 2116:

The Good Ending:
Humanity finally reaches Type I status and we solve the global warming crisis, the overpopulation crisis, and the resource crisis. Humanity has colonies on the Moon and possibly Mars, and has plans for various moons. Society has attained full cultural understanding or at least cultural tensions have lessened.

The Bad Ending:
War... War never changes... Whether by nuclear annihilation, climate change screwing us, or anything else, society has collapsed and while humanity may not be extinct, we have regressed to a tribal state and it will take several generations for us to come back if ever.

If you want to be optimistic, we've probably surpassed the singularity and live in a world of post-scarcity run by super-intelligent AI who automate all the work on the planet. Everyone is free to live however they choose for as long as they like. Mining asteroids is the norm. We've got permanent bases on the Moon & Mars that can be easily visited.

If you want to be pessimistic, we fail to slow down climate change. Sea levels and temperatures rise, rapidly decreasing the amount of habitable land available on the planet. Technological development grinds to a halt as we hit physical barriers we can't surpass. The West is struck by a demographic crisis, with each generation increasingly smaller than the last. Resources, mainly fish and rare earth metals, begin to run out. Shortages are followed by rationing as people are forced to live with less. Conventional wars between non-nuclear states erupt often, mainly over resources, as the West turns inward and refuses to intervene.

I dunno, it would probably be funny to see people try to have sex and end up flying about the room, smacking into things.
