The World in 2072
Lots of writing about the future takes one of two forms:
- Dystopian: everything is awful! Robots/Fascists/Communists/[Insert baddies here] have brought about the apocalypse, or made most people into their prisoners or slaves.
- Utopian: everything is amazing! Robots/Communists/Philosophers/[Insert goodies here] have fixed the world, and now there’s a new type of Femo-anarcho-libertarian-socialist-capitalist-democracy where everybody votes for and experiences good things and doesn’t vote for or experience bad things.
But unless we get the 5% chance world where there’s an existential catastrophe by 2072, or the 0.1% chance world where AI somehow fixes every problem known to man (feel free to contest the percentages, I didn’t think that hard about them), the most likely option is that most things get a bit better, some things get a lot better, and a few things get a bit worse, right?
