>>6045959I'm not very good at future predicting. My Mother thinks I'm a regular Nostrodamus because I told her about 10 years ago (from 4chan) that trannies are a thing now and now she sees them everywhere. I guess being on the website provides some form of societal first-strike.
I don't think Peak Oil is really going to be a thing. There's more then enough oil to destroy the entire planet into a smog ball, it just becomes a matter of economics to find the way to extract it, and as technology + AI advances, these methods will be found and the cost to scarcity ratio will stabilize it. I don't know what kind of Jewish sorcery is being used to keep gas prices almost the same as it was 10+ years ago despite the hyperinflation going on, it's crazy. People in charge clearly know what they're doing, at least way more then me. Personally I really wish our society started getting into renewable biodiesels 10-20 years ago, which would be a much better form of transitional power then this shitty "green" energy we have right now. It's all peanuts until fusion power or lossless solar (in space) is figured out.
I put a lot of my worries and anxieties about the world into my quests. The "Degenerate Capitalist Era" is meant to be the modern day or near future of Monke Quest, featuring overpopulation and extreme societal decay from immigration, wealth disparity, etc. Frankly I don't think our society is going to get that bad. It's clear that the prosperity of the Boomer generation was a fluke, but I don't think we're actually going to revert into techno-feudalism. Markets are a bit more stable then that, and in our economy based on consumerism, consumers need jobs to buy things. As such, jobs are "invented" to fulfill this. Global population is also stabalizing, and will likely decline without mass death due to increasing living standards, feminism, and global warming. Even "those" people still have declining birthrates once they westernize more and more, the demographics aren't going to change by much DESU. Politically speaking I believe America/Russia will remain the world powers in the next hundred years, these nations are established and advantageous with large populations and land masses. I am assuming Indian growth will slow down considerably. Trannies will find more mainstream acceptance as gender affirming care and reassignment becomes better and more developed, similar to homosexuals today, they'll be more accepted BUT also be less annoying, which will help their image considerably. We probably won't have true gender reassignment by changing chromosomes in the next century, changing the DNA of living adults is too far off. "Nothing ever happens" but unironically.
I think the REAL big problem everyone will have to deal with (besides global warming) will be plastic consuming bacteria. Every bit of infrastructure, farming, transportation relies on plastic components which now have an expiration date. Also? Covered by my Quest.
