Long term: Interesting
Long term humans might exist in: Cautiously optimistic
Short term: We're pretty boned
Short term I will be alive in: Ugh, I guess it is still technically better than some earlier eras
Tomorrow: I like breathing and not being on fire.

Long term we're enormously fucked due to climate change. We're already passed the point where we could reverse course without big big problems, and we're still not going to do anything for it for 20 years (probably when all the rich people start losing their beach homes).

I've reached the point where I don't actively seek death, but I would also be fine with not waking up.

Which is actually a stark improvement.

If you wake up at a different time, in a different place, could you wake up as a different person?

I was more optimistic about humanity before I saw how we dealt with coronavirus -- we've contemplated a potential virus outbreak for such a long time and we were still caught with our pants down.

There are a number of things in the coming century that could fuck us up, but my current #1 worry is climate change. In general we're pretty good at scraping together solutions, so I don't think we're necessarily hurtling toward extinction. But I think there's a high potential for some real damage.

Trying not to be afraid of it, because I feel like being afraid of the future is what leads to me becoming a 60-something victim of the Skinner "am I so out of touch?" meme. I don't want to fall into the trap of like, generational fear of progress? Which isn't necessarily always tied to age but it often is and I think that starts with being scared of the future now when I'm in my early 30s.

Though there are a lot of issues re the future that are pretty separate to that, like climate change, which is obviously a scary prospect.

I generally try not to think about the future because it stresses me out. To my own self detriment a lot of times. Like for instance, my lease is up at the end of October and my roommate is moving to another town and I still have no clue what I'm going to do about it. Thinking about that stresses me out to the point of wanting to just shut down and suffer the consequences of whatever may happen.

Ambivalent, using it in the good and bad meaning.

I do believe that humanity can overcome the threats it faces. I actually think that the current pandemic shows that. It has shown that issues like CO2 emissions are solvable, that a huge majority of people fundamentally want to help each other, and it has in many places managed to beat the fascist wave the world was facing into retreat.

On the other hand, theres a lot of horrible stuff happening right now including said pandemic, and it again exposed how some will literally sell out the world to get paid.

So you know. A mix.

The future is scary and tbh I think it's a good thing everyone's frightened. It's actually getting people to care and work towards a better future.

So I guess I'm scared, but I have plenty of faith we'll pull through

SJW-related stuff are getting more common
Prices are increasing in an alarming rate (enjoy your $70 video games)
The world is getting more crowded with each day, longer lines, more car traffic etc
Most low economy jobs are being replaced by robots
The world is slowly but surely going in route to be owned by a few monopoly companies

So yeah everything will only get worse
Overpopulation is the thing I fear the most (for US people I guess this isn't a problem..yet)

video games are so astonishingly cheap.

get me back to the days when a game was something I had to save up for and would play for months, instead of the cost of two burgers and its boring day 1.

What kind of $30+ burgers are you eating lol

But really yeah video games are a terrible example of prices increasing seeing as they've been completely static for a decade despite production costs ballooning into the stratosphere. Do you realize how actually insane that is? Here's a hint - it's a large part of the reason why we see so much nickel and diming via microtransactions, dlc roadmaps, battle passes, literally anything they can muster these days.

Theres nothing benign about what Nanis posted. It seems to be on the back foot now, but we are still facing an onslaught of digital fascism where one of the key strategies for radicalising people by calling any kind of liberalism or social progress or equality SJW and trying to treat it as outcast or the enemy. Using that term in that way is wrong because it contributes to that.

Im not going to call Nanis or anybody else names. Im just going to say that you shouldnt do that and should think about the repercussions before you post.
