3016 AD

[(Anonymous)]

What do you think the future (not necessarily 3016 specifically) will be like? Will we be on other planets? Will we have evolved? Will robots have taken over? etc.

Re: 3016 AD

[kaijinscendre]

By 3016, I'd reckon humans 1.0 would be mostly killed by environmental issues. If we are lucky the survivors will be able to breed and create humans 2.0 who can survive in way more extreme environments. But that isn't likely. :(

Careful -- you're treading dangerously close to a core tenet of transhumanism.

Don't know.

[morieris]

If we don't have commercial space travel by then I will be disappointed. Dead, but disappointed.

Outside of that (and probably VR, modifying our bodies with cool tech shit) is there any further we could progress? Probably, right?

Part of me thinks that most systems will crash or die somehow and humanity will be thrust into a time akin to maybe the 1700s

Re: 3016 AD

Impossible to predict. If the pattern of the last 20-50 years continues, the rate of tech advancement will be so high that it's beyond imagining right now. 30 years ago almost no one had a cell phone, and think about how ubiquitous and taken for granted they are today.

Re: 3016 AD

Well, this is just for fun.

Re: 3016 AD

[(Anonymous)]

Human beings will be extinct, and there will not be any other sentient life on earth.

Don't really think any predictions outside of that matter.

Re: 3016 AD

Some things I've figured...

- Less than 100 years, but I think within the next generation or two, we'll see a shift from helicopter parenting to parenting in the 50's. People will feel that they were negatively affected by how much they were structured.

- I think our descendants will find a way to replace meat with other substances (more successfully and tastefully than now), and eating "real" meat will be on par with wearing real fur - not forbidden, but definitely side-eyed by a lot of people. They'll understand why we ate meat, but also boast that there are "greener" alternatives.

(I'm not a vegetarian, FWIW. But I might have a great grandkid who wishes I had been!)

- Sex and gender will be less strictly defined, and we may even evolve in that sense as well.

My parents were pretty free range, "sort your own shit out" types, and while that kind of detachment has had negative consequences in other ways, I'm definitely noticing how much tougher it's made me than my more coddled peers in some respects. And it's only getting more pronounced as we age, not less. Sure, they've got great relationships with their parents, but they're all extremely dissatisfied with the lives/jobs they have and what they've accomplished as we head into our collective mid-30s.

Whereas my parents made it clear that things I did wrong were my fault, not theirs, that I could absolutely lose their respect and even their love through my actions, and that I was only as special as I made myself through hard work and talent. (Also that I would always be inferior to my brothers because they had dicks because the sky wizard loves dicks more than boxes but that's a whoooole 'nother conversation. But that just made my beating my brothers at shit fucking beautiful because I'm a spiteful bitch.)

As such idk it's tough not to want to impart some of that to any future kids I'd have. Not the dicks part, just the "sort your own shit out/you're only as special as your accomplishments" part. I wonder if some of my peers who are bemoaning fucking the dog their entire teenaged/young adult years will also take note.

Re: 3016 AD

I definitely agree about the meat thing. It's not sustainable, for one, and probably we'll have the technology to create non-animal-based proteins.

Something I recall from the YA Dystopian novel "Uglies" was the character being disgusted that some of the outside people made a table out of "dead trees". I wonder if that'll be the future, too, that we won't use anything organic in our building/clothing/etc.

"Sex and gender will be less strictly defined, and we may even evolve in that sense as well."

Dear god I hope not. Gender should be abolished, not redefined.

Re: 3016 AD

If sci-fi has taught me anything that's when everything becomes a space opera.

Re: 3016 AD

[(Anonymous)]

Booking cryopods for Fhloston Paradise as we speak!

Re: 3016 AD

[(Anonymous)]

I'd like to think that we'd all be carrying on similar to know but with more peace, less pollution and a total transition to renewable energy, no poverty and space travel with terraformed planets because we chose it rather that being forced into it because of a dying planet.

But realistically, we'll either be burned up in a massive sun flare, tanked by an asteroid or nuke ourselves to death, leaving just a few unlucky souls to walk the wasteland.

Re: 3016 AD

[(Anonymous)]

Hopefully the neo-liberals and neo-conservatives will all have killed each other to death by then.

Re: 3016 AD

[(Anonymous)]

I just saw a neat program on the science channel that posited the idea that we'd have a mining outpost on Titan to mine gas on Saturn to fuel fusion. The scientists sounded rather optimistic so I think that's doable in a thousand years, especially if there's a financial incentive to get us there like a new fuel.

Re: 3016 AD

[ill_omened]

I genuinely think automation of labor and large numbers of people becoming unemployable is going to the largest escalating crisis when most of us here are nearing the end of our lives.

Stem cell stuff is going to be pretty fucking cool.

And we still won't have proper cryogenics or mechs because life isn't fair.

Re: 3016 AD

[kallanda_lee]

It will be like the zombie apocalypse, only without zombies and humans scavenging on the remains of civilizations.

Re: 3016 AD

[(Anonymous)]

We will all wear the same silver unitard because everyone dresses the same in the future and/or on other planets.

Re: 3016 AD

[dethtoll]

We'll probably have mastered space travel by that point, but I'm not expecting Earth to be very green.

Re: 3016 AD

[(Anonymous)]

hopefully we'll all be dead, that's why i'm voting trump

Re: 3016 AD

[philstar22]

I think we could no more know what it will really be like than people in 1016 could imagine what 2016 is actually like.

Re: 3016 AD

[(Anonymous)]

every single one of us will be dead, so who cares

Re: 3016 AD

[mimi-sardinia.livejournal.com]

Maybe it's because I look back at what people thought now would be like back in the 50s and 60s, or maybe it's because I'm cynical, but I don't think we will be nearly as advanced as people would wish we will be by then - if we haven't been sent back to a virtual stone age by war or environmental collapse.

Also, my religious side also thinks things might be infinitely better for those still around because the Second Coming has been and gone.
