Where do you see humanity in 50 years?

[arcadian]

Struggling, always on the cusp of disaster but somehow always pulling through despite war, global inequity and natural resource depletion?

2. much the same as it always has been, watching american idol season 60

liveing in grass huts on the serengeti, surfing in the pacific, pretty much humans are humans are humans, the more stuff changes the more it stays the same..

4. Cave painting isn't so much in vogue these days.

13. I see "cave" paintings everywhere here in socal

A freeway underpass sorta counts as a cave, and there are tons of spray paintings under them

3. Throwing shit at each other and inventing new ways to masturbate

Same as it was 10,000 years ago....just new tools.

5. Some older, some dead. New faces everywhere.

6. Royally fucked, that's where.

Even more than it is now.

7. What humanity? All I see is a beautiful planet revolving around the sun; its oceans

a bright blue against its sparkling white ice caps at both poles.

9. I saw an IMAX movie that speculated that squid would be the next higher form of life.

Well after we are gone. I find that comforting.

8. Not Sure is running for his life

Cuz Idiocracy has come to America, several centuries earlier than predicted in the movie.

10. I'm not optimistic.

So perhaps I shouldn't say.

14. In the last phase of the next global war fought with biological weapons

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_cycles for intervals between Thirty Years War, Napoleonic Wars, and WWs I&II.

Biological science is now where chemistry and physics were in the late 1800's. So biotech will be the foundation for the strategic weapons of then next global conflict, which is due around 2040. It should last until about 2070, and it should reduce world population from around 9 billion back to less than 6 billion.
