I've always said the only thing that bothers me about dying is not knowing what happens next :-)
I think we are probably on the verge of significant upheaval, probably pretty unpleasant, and then things will settle out into something new, something we may not even be able to imagine at the moment. The Britons couldn't have imagined what would happen when the Romans suddenly left. Their world changed utterly, practically overnight. As a student of history, I sometimes think about what our age will be called, in a few hundred years. Assuming the people alive then still have literacy, etc.
Great stuff! This also reminds me of Robert Wright’s “Nonzero”. The invention of communication technology allows for decentralized power structures but there’s a lot of growing pains in the transition.
Explosion in 3D printing tech. Ability to custom order anything, people will sell blueprints for X designs.
AI, just needs to get a little better to have a digital kinda secretary.
Unlocks, weight gain and loss, personal trackers showing what works exactly for you in terms of diet, activity, weightlifting exercises and sleep, what foods help you, etc.
Creative types will use AI to supplement writing novels and as a sounding board.
Power, in 10-20 years if we potentially unlock fusion we have an energy revolution
Also if AI gets a little better, real time translators allow scientific conferences with experts of all languages, what possibilities will be unlocked
It's hard to predict the future, but the new technology will certainly create many new opportunities to promote human flourishing. Hopefully, the people will use these exciting new tools well. Great article!
Thanks Kate. Wonderful to hear an optimistic view of what may come. Interestingly you made an excellent case for Bitcoin - an exact replica of what was written in the sovereign individual book you referenced.
Internet and AI have not brought a new age, if climate change affects us we will migrate. Economic chaos and war are likely. Loss of rights and freedom is spreading. Religious persecution is spreading. Eugenics and genocide are on our horizon. Microorganisms are ever increasingly resistant .

I’m about 40% through “The Sovereign Individual.”

Political representatives without political parties representing, without agenda, their constituents.
