In all seriousness and non meme answers, what will actually happen by 2040? Will there be a total ecological collapse? WW3? Extreme climate change? I feel that this might happen for real, given the nonchalant attitude I keep seeing everywhere like articles saying "Mankind will end soon" and then the top comment is "Good ridance, we need to die off". There's a kind of generalized pessimistic thinking among everyone and it's worrying me. Thoughts?

I'm going to step by step tackle every question you have in detail because I see these types of questions a lot here

>Will there be a total ecological collapse?
Total ecological collapse is expected to start to happen somewhere between 3 to 4 degrees of warming. We are estimated to reach 1.5 degrees warming in 2040 and 3 degrees warming in 2120.

But that is only the start of the econological collapse it would take between 10,000-50,000 years for the ecology to completely collapse where there are no multi-cellular lifeforms on Earth anymore.

The reason the ecological collapse would happen is that between 3 to 4 degrees warming a chain reaction occurs. Permafrost will thaw releasing trapped methane warming up the Earth even more which causes the Ocean acidity to rise to a level where plankton dies off as well as ocean clathrate which will release an obscene amount of methane in the athmosphere while the plankton won't take out a lot of CO2 anymore. Causing the Earth to jump from just 3-4 degrees heating all the way up to 20 degrees heating. But this is a slow process which will take between 10,000-50,000 years.

So to answer your question. We don't even have the ability to cause total ecological collapse in this time frame. The earliest date that ecological collapse can even start to happen is 2120 and that assumes that we will keep exponentially producing CO2 output until 2120 and that it happens at 3 degrees warming and not 4 degrees warming.

>> No.10368495

>WW3?

To understand if WW3 is going to happen or not we should look at the global political friction in different areas by bigger nation. Here is a list of the big nations and their biggest friction points right now

>China
Taiwan
Vietnam
Philippines
Japan

>Russia
Ukraine
Georgia
Finland (Non-nato, but EU member)
Baltics (EU+Baltics)
Norway (Non-EU but Nato member)

>USA
Venezuela
Iran
North Korea
Turkey

>Misc high tension
Israel+Saudi Arabia-Iran
India-Pakistan

These are the only potential conflicts within the next 21 years that could have the potential to escalate to WW3. That said WW3 is definitely not going to happen before 2040 if ever. China and Russia simply do not have the capability to match the western nations. Nations are not going to start a war they know they can't maintain. At most in the next 21 years we will see a slow regression towards a cold war. China is biding their time and trying to grow economically to match the west militarily. Sadly since 2016 China has been in a financial recession that turned into a full-blown financial crisis last year in 2018. This is the biggest financial crisis China has been in since Mao Sedong died. China will spend the next 2 decades focusing internally for the CCP to maintain power over the mainland and to try and continue economic growth to build up military forces that could stand up to the west in the last half of the 21st century and the start of the 22nd century.

Russia is completely irrelevant. They almost bankrupted themselves by trying to invade less than 20% of Ukraine. Their military is extremely inefficient and inexperienced. Russia has a focus on maintaining oligarchic control and most small military actions they took was purely to pacify their population and try to build a sense of unity to prop up Putin's approval rating.

Tension between India and Pakistan has been steadily declining over the last 10 years and it looks like this trend will continue. No WW3 (or any big war) before 2040

>Extreme climate change?

Short answer is that we will see an increase in extreme weather like dry, hotter summers and cold wet winters. With more hurricanes and tornadoes but it won't be that extreme. Like a 10-20% increase in natural disasters is to be expected.

>"Mankind will end soon" and then the top comment is "Good ridance, we need to die off"

I think it's VERY important for people to realize that HUMANITY WILL NOT DIE OUT. Complete ecological collapse doesn't mean humanity will die out. We will have more than 10,000 years to adapt and plan around it once it starts collapsing in 2120. 150 years ago we entered the industrial revolution for fucks sake the things we could reach in 10,000 years are incomprehensible to us.

Tensions will likely keep building up this century as the US won't stay the only superpower but China and a Federalized EU will most likely make it a world with 3 superpowers and tensions in between them. As technology gets better warfare switches more and more towards targetting infrastructure to stop the ability for the opponent to wage war instead of civilian targets. It's very likely a WW3 in the 22nd century will be a war with some of the least causalities possible. Making warfare less and less a threat to humanity.

Humanity is most likely never going to die out as long as no freak occurrence happens like a meteor strike or something before we can start our first self-sustaining colonies within the next century or two.

The fertility drop is not because of biology. It's because of changed behavior. Everyone on the planet has access to smartphones and the internet now. People have other ways to spend their time instead of constantly fucking out of boredom.

The reason fertility is dropping is because people now have access to superior ways of spending their time than sex.

You are acting like humanity developed some anti-fertility gene that disables sperm cells and that the ones that are fertile will eventually outbreed them. But that's not what's happening.

Fertility is dropping because people have better choices and forms of entertainment now.

I laugh at the people that say that 2040 will be the same as now because it's "only" 22 years away.

Remember the world 22 years ago in 1997?

Almost no one had a cell phone
Almost no one had a personal computer, and if they did almost certainly no internet connection which was a niche
no social media
no smartphone that helps you at every moment in life
no online ordering and delivery

The world 22 years ago was so insanely different from now that it might as wel be a completely different civilization. People primarily live their lives on social media now. We contact each other through smartphones and let it guide us everywhere through google maps and numerous other programs that changes quality of life and how we experience life in general.

in 22 years from now society could be extremely different due to just a couple of breakthroughs or changes in technology that it's completely incomparable to how life is in 2019

For all we know everyone works from home and the #1 common job is a consultant because retail is going away. The majority of people never leave their homes and are plugged in virtual reality and nobody owns cars and instead have a subscription on a self-driving car service provider that brings you to your (leasure) destination.

Life in 2040 is most likely going to unrecognizable to us.

We will never have flying cars. We only have cars because we find dense enough energy naturally to push 2 tons on a set of wheels around for about 350 miles at a time.

Flying vehicles require WAY more energy, to the point it’s only really economical if you have a need to get somewhere fast or are transporting a bunch of weight at once, and they are a great deal more dangerous, as any sort of malfunction means you drop out of the sky and kill yourself and whoever happens to be beneath you. You basically need magic floating rocks to pull it off. Assuming we could ever solve the energy problem, the next big issue is infrastructure, because invariably people are going to be going to the same place, and you need something to ensure they aren’t all crashing in to each other when they get there. Even planes, which are orders of magnitude lower in circulation than cars, have to have someone clearing landing and takeoff zones.

Solve the energy to travel a distance issue and the piloting/coordination issue, and we’re basically talking flying personal cabs you get in, punch a destination, and spend the rest of the trip doing something else.

Well that turned out to be false once smartphones hit the market and became standard the poorest also experienced a fertility drop. Showing that in the early 2000s only the richest people had internet access while now every third worlder has a smartphone and 4g.

Also the fertility drop is consistent among every demographic. Upper class, Middle class and Lower class have similar levels of fertility drop showing there is absolutely no correlation to income or economics. Especially as the trend started with the upper class, then the middle class and only has hit the lower class in the last couple of years. Showing an exact correlation with internet access.

Fucking as a form of entertainment got replaced by the superior entertainment offered on the internet. It's as simple as that.

no, but it'll be well underway, with more and more mass migrations due to food stability and areas of the planet become less habitable.

Chip heads, where they work to get as much of their consciousness moved onto silicon as possible. The sooner they can plug into the matrix and never come back, the better.
Lifers, who still inhabit their body and prefer to exist in reality, still using VR as a hobby. They might do this because they have a real life job or hobby they enjoy, or because of family/friends that they want to physically stay with.

wouldnt worry about crops. The big change over to vertical farming and lab generated food happens before crop losses become a serious threat

general predictions by 2040:

nanotechnology and gene therapy, directed by AI doctors, have cured just about everything.

AI's hit a comparable 1,000+ IQ range.


people are settling in to the idea of a world with No Jobs, where AI's and robots make the food, fill the pot holes, and do all the other shit humans used to have do. And people now live their days either lounging around or debating like ancient philosophers. If people do work, it's basically role play , where they work 8 hours a week, pretending to do a job. Like when a kid now tags along with their parents and sits at a desk pretending to be working there. It's just getting in the way,

Oil/Gas died. There are now massive solar arrays on each continent that provide most power, although most buildings, using a variety of systems, are power self sufficient.

Most water is coming in through atmospheric generators and desalinization systems. issues with water mean the end of lawns/golf courses. replaced with whatever would of grown locally naturally

touchable holograms, and holographic displays bring the end of 'screens'

permanent colony on the moon. plans for stuff in the atmosphere of Venus and on the surface of Mars.

Old School farms have died. Replaced with vertical farms/ lab generated meats and cheeses

AI's and people working together on ramping up of exploring and colonizing the galaxy.

Time Travel, if not ready to roll, ready within 10 or so years from 2040; mainly for tourism, alternately for recovery of lost texts

Automation will be replacing a massive amount of jobs at this point, so either we'll see a massive amount of people living in poverty, or the automated labor force will bring about a strong enough economy so most people can comfortably live on welfare.
I could totally see an arrangement where people live in VR and their job is to identify and review AI created/procedure generated content. Something akin to captcha image identification, except for all kinds of media like sounds, feels, taste, etc.
The man of the future lives on life support in a VR hostel, his employer is a media corporation and his job is to identify which which computer-generated brick wall looks the most like the platonic ideal of a brick wall. His pay is just enough pay the rent for his hostel and the rental fees for his VR gear. In his free time, he explores a virtual world made up of content that people just like him reviewed to ensure maximum pleasurability.

3000 i think would be unrecognizable to us. AI progressed to incomprehensible intelligence levels. Universe explored and colonized. People wandering around through time (time exploration). People meditating in ways we cant comprehend. People playing around with jumping into a higher dimension (ala end of the movie 2001/2010).

Strangely, unless there is some WW3 type event that rolls us back into a dark ages period for a few hundred years. It is very doubtful humans will be around in a couple thousand years. That everyone just volunteered to go to a higher level

the doomsday community is amusing and sad at the same time. there will be no mass destruction and massive loss of life. the sad truth is that humanity is falling under the spell of legalism. You will wish for ww3 when the oppressive peace comes. globalism isint scary because it will destroy the world, it wont.
The future is permenate, unwilling peace. There will be no privacy, and fake rebel leaders (see DEA/ATF ) quell the willingness to participate in rebellion. This goverment of good and bad people will convince everyone that all laws are just. When people lash out, they will be made to fight eachother. Theres no mastermind behind it, no villian to stop. The natural progression of government and incentivised behaivior will lead to decades of painful stability, where no one has the power to lash out, and those who try are publicly shamed instead of martyred. There will be no one to blame it on, the system will be so large and complex that every member of this government will be a redundant cog, and no group will be allowed to grow large enough to stop it. no good or evil, just the promise of stability and peace for all. Global war is preferable to what is coming. everyone will live at peace in a broken system unfair but unstoppable. This is my personal blackpill Ive developed from studying how different modern governments prevent insurrection. If you ponder this you might see it too. I think the final chapter of humanity will be world peace, the kind no one knew they didint want.

So people are going to give everything they own to the government? do you know what capitalism is?
First of all what country is being overthrown, because the loudest communist voices in western countries are mostly pretenders who simply wish do be dictators or sub rulers themselves. Theres not going to be a global revolution against economic practices. rich people pay those under them in a pyramid fashion, And the promise that they can work hard enough to become rich as well is why such revolutions against rich people (who arent in government) never come. this is why billionaires control politicians indirectly instead of becoming politicians.

i see where you are coming from but, I never said this was coming soon. My point is that there will be no big war. and Ill eat my own dick if I ever get proven wrong. I wont. I shouldnt have mentioned globalism, because I dont mean that world governments are close to joining together. they arent. The western governments are trending towards permenate super-beuarocracy, wether they do it together or apart, They wont war with eachother and your crash course video on geopolitical economics doesnt represent the case that im false. Governments are making themselves more complex, coincidentally or not, making themselves immune to criticism. you will lose your freedom amd accept it before you ever see a big war. There wont be another big war. Show me evidence of any absolute economic collapse in the 1st world. you cant. No war can be waged.

Anthropogenic threats in 2040:

- Bioterrorism is now more accessible and cheaper than ever.
Autists in their banker basements will be spreading artificial viruses from their mini drones all over the world.

- Leftists have more and more influence in the society and will create more stupid laws and agendas that will fuck up how society works.

- Life expectancy increases and old people are still here consuming the resources and jobs that are supposed to be for the latest generations of adults.

- The economy will become so horribly competitive than ever.

- Mass misinformation is rampant and will evolve in newer forms.

- More and more people feel powerless and meaningless. They will seek this sense of power by joining the leftist movements or by doing terrorist actions.

- If cost-effective renewable energy is not fully solved, then mineral resource exhaustion will cause global catastrophic risk.

Meme threat:
- Global warming (this is a bait, a leftist propaganda)
