Are we allowed to talk about the future here?

If so do you think we'll ever become a K1 civilization or colonize space?

How do you think the world will develop over the next 200 years?

Which pressing issues of today do you think will disappear?

Which do you think will still be around?

What do you hope will happen?

Why do you Hebrew fucks have to ruin everything?

Ideally nuclear fusion power plants and antimatter propulsion are viable technologies, so that humanity can make it to other planets with atmosphere and become a multistellar society.

Over the next 200 years, the demographic-economic paradox and depletion of resources are likely to play a large role.

Failed states means lots of babies. Industrialized states means shrinking population. We're already seeing the first waves of immigrants from failed states attempt to enter successful states.

As time goes on, there's a real possibility of future refugee crises involving hundreds of millions or billions of people, fleeing the devastation of entire regions by desertification or flooding triggered by anthropogenic climate change.

The biggest political question of the 21st century will be what system of government China adopts and what their role on the world stage is.

>>If so do you think we'll ever become a K1 civilization or colonize space?
the US seems to finally be headed back in that direction
Trump seems hellbent on getting a man to Mars and establishing a colony

Fall of the west to the hybrid brown black mulatto race ruled by Jews
Dominance of Asia

The petrol age collapse is coming and will mostly probably wipe is out. Overpopulation is a very real problem no matter how much the left of center pretend ecologists tell you it isn't.

I don't think tech or science are the real challenges. If HISTORY teaches us anything it is that big hurdles requier cooperation. Which is the reason we will leave Earth.

Which is the reason we will *never* leave Earth.

Nah dawg. We just start eating people until we have enough land to start farming again.

cooperation in what sense? free trade and exchange of ideas?

Nuclear energy continues to exist regardless of how many people ignore it. Eventually someone will start using it instead of oil and the rest of the world won't be able to bitch and moan this time because here are no other options

As in being locked up in very small spacecraft for a very long time. Generations long.

People did it on boats so I think we're fine on that front. Also

>small

Nigga are you serious? By the time we get ready to go interstellar, a life on a space ship will be preferable to one on a planet. Those bitches can be built to have the inside surface area of small countries if you can build them in outter space.

voyages across the Atlantic didn't take generations, they took months at worst

if you're in a ship the size of a nation state with its own biomes and inner affairs you really won't think about the fact that you're going to another star that often. You're imagining a small space shuttle. What you should be thinking of instead is a flying metropolis.

>The biggest political question onlf the 21st century will be what political system China adopts

I don't know enough about China to give a good answer but, uneducated speculation: I think it'll probably have a huge debt crisis, become insolvent, and the state will sell off all of its property to stay above water. All the redundant, peripheral, or commercial state run institutions will be bought up by wealthy private citizens or foreigners. China will probably practice crony capitalism with them for a while but drastically increase innovation and personal freedok on account of just not having the money or manpower to be arsed to control the masses. And the average chinese won't care too much about most of this. It'll be easy for a reasonably educated man to get a good paying job but there won't be enough Chinese women to go around. So maybe they'll grant citizenship more liberally to women or they'll have more of their men traveling abroad. But either way in 70 years about 10% of non-pure blooded chinese will have a recent chinese ancestor. This'll probably have a huge effect on demographics as less people will see the Chinese as unfamiliar outsiders. Dialects that aren't Mandarin will probably start to die off by this time, and Eastern coastal China might even be as Cosmopolitan as New-England. Main two hurdles for them, though are maintaining productivity and remedying the gender imbalance. Which will probably lead to some cosmopolitan compromise, and a bit of a loss of Chinese identity.

That would consume global resources. And most people would never benefit. Why give up shit for others?

>It'll be easy for a reasonably educated man to get a good paying job but there won't be enough Chinese women to go around.

There is. You know a lot of Chinese women are hidden from stats.

You can build things in space too you know. There are resources in space. You wouldn't Build a generational ship on earth. You would build it as far away from any gravity well as you could.

>There are resources in space.
They are inaccessible with modern tech

We're talking about 200+ years in the future you double nigger!
