Hopefully tipping.
Bold of you to assume civilization is still standing in 20 years.
Gender assumptions
Gender Identity is not human nature, but rather the product of culture and language association. There have been plenty of cultures in recorded history with multiple - what we would call today - Gender Identities.
Language and its impact on perception of reality is a very interesting topic of study.
That’s not what I meant. Our brains are programmed to make as complete an image of a person as possible when first meeting them, including all attributes that can be inferred from their exterior.
In 10 years
- Selling high strength magnets without regulation
- Petroleum cars
In 100 years?
- Eating meat
- Natural gas stoves
- Oil/Natural gas furnaces
- Anonymous online communities
- Not wearing a sort of body-camera in most professions
In 1000 years?
- Religion, mysticism, paranormal beliefs
- An inversion of religious moralism, I think things that are thought of as evil will have to become the norm, genetic modification, cloning, etc.
- Eating food in general
No way you’re getting rid of any kind of mysticism, ever. You have people shooting at random towers blaming 5g and not vaccinating because of the dumbest reasons.
Humankind as a whole isn’t intelligent enough to get rid of irrational stupidity and as long as you have that you’ll have people believing in all those things you mentioned.
In 100 years?
Eating meat Natural gas stoves Oil/Natural gas furnaces
This sounds like a solid +6°C plan if it takes 100 years
Why does religion get another 1000 years, but meat is gone in 100? 😩
Also: what’s that about magnets? Why would we outlaw/regulate high powered magnets?
Magnets are very weird. Up until now, we don’t really know what causes magnetism or how it works. We just know some rocks have it and others don’t. Also, magents aren’t super massively available in nature.
I’d hazzard a guess that guy refers to magnets the same way we SHOULD treat helium. It’s a precious rare non renewable resource and we squander it like it’s nothing.
…we can literally just manufacturer super powerful magnets. What the hell are you talking about?
I’m not sure if OC would count this as meat or not, but lab grown meat is currently possible possible but not economically viable yet. Once that changes and cheap, ethical, eco friendly meat that’s indistinguishable from conventional products is common, it will be much harder to justify conventional meat farming.
Baring that, plant based meat substitutes may gain a foothold, but we’ll see.
As far as religion goes, that’s actually a big unknown from my point of view. The “nones” have risen super fast, but a lot of churches have done a lot of aggressive things to try to slow that trend. I’m not sure if they’ll eventually find something that works or if their efforts will further increase the secularization of the US. As far as the rest of the world, Europe in general makes me hopeful.
Rare earth magnets are remarkably powerful, a couple hundred bucks gets you magnets with enough magnetic potential to crush bones. Children who swallow magnets are hospitalized, magnets be spooky

I am staunchly opposed to regulating magnet sales but I think it’s quite likely, especially in children’s toys
