Predict the near-far future

Post Reply New Topic

I predict that I will eat another wheel of cheese and be stopped up for a week.

I predict that this garlic chicken breast Im eating for lunch will be tasty.

One of my own predictions for the next decade (these are just guesses):
- People rise up in a backlash against some large behemoth corporation service like Walmart or McDonalds as people become tired of seeing them in everywhere you go in the world and they want something besides those big names.
- The MeToo movement almost or nearly collapses because of the higher number of false witch-hunt sexual predatory allegations. It might have already begun now.
- The use of paper in business declines and there's a bigger push to do more things electronically.
- Possibly, a major "bang" shock event occurs that disrupts normal living or society in some way.
- An open major backlash against religion and religious ideas (think a national movement of angry demonstration outside of a church)

I predict that due to the embargo on chemicals used in lethal injection and the increasingly high number of botched executions in this country that the US will either abolish the death penalty completely or replace lethal injection with the firing squad as it's main form of execution.



(this is done with actors btw its not real)

Since Russia's national animal is the brown bear, maybe there could be a ruthless female Prime Minister (or Prime Minister's wife) thrown in the cast named Ursa who is similar to the character Cersei (the "lioness" who protects her cubs)? She's alluded to the mother bear who hunts and kills and rules her cave with iron claws and she's very protective of her own cubs whom she grooms to one day rule the world too?

Next 10 to 20 years:

1) Things will get bad enough with the wings getting excited by fake news that someone will actually develop a fact-finding and fact-vetting algorithm worth its salt to at least give people a place to go to for reliable news.

2) Solar power might see a huge boost in efficiency (the guy who was saying a solar panel the size of a book could power a house) and we could come to a place where the viability of alternative energy in all areas becomes a real thing.

3) Formal higher education in many places will face some real threats from alternatives such as online schooling without the room, board, and amenities, for a much lower cost credential and equivalent value. Academia will have to fight like heck to prove its value and will need to clean house.

4) China will likely pop, somewhat to the relief of those who are anxious about them holding so much of our debt but it would cause a significant global recession, made ever worse if we pop right along with them.

5) A law will likely be passed to allow students to default on student loans under more conditions, government will realize the bread-winners it needs are stuck living with their parents and not starting businesses which will be too costly. This will even further force the colleges to clean house.

Once Mueller's findings are made public, Trump attempts to declare marshal law to stop his impeachment, and calls on his supporters to take up arms. Instead, the FBI drags him kicking and screaming in handcuffs from the White House, along with Kushner, Stephan (Adolph) Miller, and the rest of the swamp.

2) i feel like post-scarcity and genetic-engineering might turn all countries into liberal-socialist socialist-liberal .. idk

some quick thoughts . :

Sasquatch will not be proven to exist.

It's a tall order but death from old age will become optional rather than a cruel fate.

"A mischievous person might even ask whether “supply-side economics” really was just a sort of code word for 'Keynesianism.' "...

A mischievous person might also ask whether FAANG is more state-owned than one thinks it is, because of the fact that FAANG owns the state.. thats why Apple iPhone's innovation started slowing down.. but it also explained Google Translate's increasing success .
