I am confident that you can, and whether you succeed or fail I hope you spend the next 20 years trying!loc978 said:20 years from now, you will have gone through a lot of tinfoil hats. Those things don't hold up well.
I wonder if I can actually become more of a cranky, dirty old man... I guess I'll know, 20 years from now.
Do you have anything to back up any of this?craftomega said:20 years from now, there will be large scale war.
20 years from now, there will be a plague of massive proportions.
20 years from now, there will be 18% oxygen, guess how much you need to live?
20 years from now, there will be mass famine in the third world.
20 years from now, all of Asia, the Middle East, and Africa will destroy themselves.
20 years from now, there will be no foreign travel outside the first world.
20 years from now, we will be killing people who try to cross the oceans.
What are you going to do to stop it? What can you do?
Many people will see this as a lie, a way to seek attention, a hyperbole at a disgusting degree; but, sadly I speak out only because no one seems willing to speak up. Many people are saying save the environment, it is stupid to even try. We should not be trying to save that environment we should be trying to save ourselves. We need to start planting trees and increasing the O2 in the atmosphere; because, if we don?t we will all die.
Even if we do everything we can there is one simple fact. We need to reduce our population. There are simply too many people to remain stable forever.
But how can you cite nonsense and idiotic statements?Unsilenced said:In 20 years maybe we'll actually cite shit.
Hey now let's not get *too* carried away.Esotera said:Overpopulation is not an issue. Read about the green revolution, and how that vastly increased the amount of people Earth could sustain. GM crops are going to allow us to do similar things with a predicted 9 billion.
20 years from now, it will be possible to sequence your entire genome for under $100, and within a day or two. Computing power will have continued to increase exponentially and its price drop, meaning computers are absolutely ubiquitous everywhere - drones in particular are going to become a big thing for governments/research. 3D printing will also be more common-place, but still a fringe activity, and mind-to-computer interfaces will be approaching the point where they're available for mass-market use.
Also, Half Life 3 might be released by then.
Say hello to piracy of EVERYTHING.Hero in a half shell said:The only solid prediction I would make is that we will all have our own personal 3D printers, and they will be integrated into our daily lives as much as the internet has been.
I won't do anything to stop it, I am waiting for it! This world is so tiresome.craftomega said:What are you going to do to stop it? What can you do?
