i was thinking maybe we’re more optimistic about how fast society can advance than in the past and thats being reflected in our media. like Asimov stuff vs star trek vs cyberpunk, bladerunner, type stuff being set like 50-100 years from now instead of like, the year 3000+. maybe im wrong
In Hindu mythology I guess the current age ends in 428,899 CE so that’s another data point for a longer speculative future from the distant past
