Utopia? Flying jetson cars? Mole people living underground? Everything’s on fire and humanity ends? I’m just curious about anyone’s thoughts in general 😀

    Giant ugly concrete buildings with tubes connecting them because it’s too hot to go outside. Children haven’t ever seen the sky except for in photographs. There are vents everywhere to keep the buildings cool, but it’s still hot. The majority of social interaction will happen over the internet because everyone is isolated into their own “apartments”. Thankfully, due to the mass pushback against billionaires hoarding wealth, everything will be cheaper. Everything gets delivered by AI robots/drones to families through amazon or some other delivery conglomerate, there is no in-person shopping. This includes things like groceries.

    I really hope it doesn’t end up like this, but based on how things are going, that’s my unfortunate expectations for the future.

      Well in that scenario, I think we surely would invent suits to let people at least go outside and perform tasks. Still bleak af tho and not too far fetched maybe

      I am not as optimistic as you.

      Doubtful that’s how climate change is going to play out. The majority of the planet will still be very habitable the majority of the time. The extremes will be more extreme and there’ll be more “once in a century” types of weather events (think hurricanes and tornadoes where traditionally there weren’t any).

      Eventually the inhabitability and the natural disasters will add up to a sizable amount of deaths. But by that point I think we’ll be too far gone. The planet will take millions of years to recover.
