To be honest, I really donât know. It truly feels like we are on the cusp of extreme changes in the world. The world has already been changing drastically but I think our way of life is about experience major, major shifts this century, that should alter the course of history for the a few hundres years.
On a positive note, I think that the internet has created this physical network that connects us all more than ever. And because of that, in having to deal with people from so many different cultures, colors, different viewpoints and whatnot, we will naturally become more tolerant and accepting of differences. In other words, we would eventually get used to eachother. Also, Become more open minded and perhaps not be so tied down to old, limiting patterns anymore (with the grand availability of information)
As humans learn to use fusion energy, we can start to replace all the harmful energy systems harmind the planet. With fusion, space travel becomes easier. So many possibilities to improve the planet, our lives, productivity and so much more. This is the stuff of science fiction and the possibilities are endless.
Technology has been evolving at a very rapid pace. AIs last year evolved exponentially and very soon theyâll be able to do everything we can do but far more efficiently. And so weâll be able to use them to make our lives easier and society will use them at large to improve society. Perhaps these AIs can figure out unique and efficient ways to combat climate change or other problems we have. And perhaps the whole system of working to live will have to change completely because society can function without us.
There are more people raising their consciousness than ever before. So many people trying to lead healthier lives through meditation, self help books, spiritual practices. The more people raise their vibration, the more the collective consciousness of humanity raises as a whole.
But thatâs just the optimistic, rosey colored glasdes point of view.
The internet is controlled by people whose interests⌠are profits and control. And we are constantly battling eachother in the internet. Good percentage of people are intolersnt of differences in the internet and think that people who think differently from them are the enemy (liberals vs conservatives, black vs white, ext). We seem to be incapable of communicating with people who think differently so humans havemât quite fully convinced me that we can use the internet to finally unite. And the internet is often used to manipulate the masses as well. Not just by corporations, or people on top but⌠by people themselves. We do it all the time.
Fusion energy is only going to go as far as these oil companies allow it to. They arenât going to allow themselves to be replaced and will do everything in their power to prevent progress to protect their pockets. And by doing this⌠we continue to perpetuate the climate change problem that can potentially destroy human civilization as we know it.
AIs are likely to replace so many of our jobs. And that is something the world is not going to be prepared for. How are all these jobless people going to provide for themselves/family? If corps really start doing this, they are going to create a humanitarian crisis that will lead to revolt. This is why I say there has to be a shift in the entire system and how we function in society. Because yes. AIs can do whatever we can do but like 10 times better. But where does that leave us? That is worrying and I donât trust the powers that be to care enough to do something about it.
Itâs also rather sad that one of the first things that AIs might take over, are creative jobs. These AIs can produce books in moments, incredible works of art, ext⌠Back then, the vision was that AIs would take over monotonous work and make society function excellently while humans can exist peacefully and focus on creative pursuits. Well⌠heh, life is ironic lol.
(Iâm saying all this but I actually like the AIs. They allow me to do so much with my creativity. So i do think that artists that learn to use the AIs to expand their creativity will flourish. As humans exponentially progress, adaptation is necessary for survival)
Last but not least, while more humans than ever are raising their consciousness⌠more humans than ever are getting sucked into their phones and losing sight of the present moment. More people than ever are on a dopamine loop of needing stimulation ALL the time. Itâs so unhealthy and unnerving. Too mant of us are stuck in this neverending loop and are becoming more and more disconnected from their inner selves and the outer world cause of it. So⌠that is also concerningâŚ
I can go on and on but you get the gist. The potential for positivity to take over the dance and lead it for a new age is there. Itâs staring right at us from so many angles (way more than I mentioned). But our old ways are fighting change at every turn and can very likely lead us into disasters we canât recouop from.
