Forums - General Discussion - Guess the future of the Human race

Humans are a species not a race

it will be like this till atleast 2020-30 then when people get a sense of world governance control and people start to realize their own culture are getting destroyed by globalisation.

WORLD WAR 3

then all cultures,religions,races,languages,traditions will separate for a long while

then everybody will be curious about each other then people again try to integrate like they are doing right now and then the whole process will continue again


alternative future 1)if we can travel to other planets those type of people will fly away leaving others behind

alternative future 2)if artificial babies can be made and if this homosexuality rise continues then one day people will be gender bias and go with their own gender like people do with race,religion nowadays and babies will then on be artificially created




all these food shortage,water crisis,poverty are small thing and can be tackled if people work towards it but it won't

I actually think things are gonna be pretty much the same in 100 years...a few technological advances that changes the way we live..but aside from that nothing major (ice age, global government etc.).

Look at the previous hundred years, or the hundred years before that. Were things pretty much the same then?

The world is changing now faster than it ever has before. The one thing of which we can be certain is that the world of 2111 will not resemble this world in the slightest.

What do u mean by that exactly?

What i meant by "pretty much the same" is that there wont be no apocolypse, ice age, formation of a global government etc. Which is what a lot of people here are saying...yeah sure there will be changes, drastic ones at that but nothing on the level some people are claiming. AND NO FLYING CARS!

Edit: Maybe a few flying cars :/

I agree with no apocalypse or ice age, but I'm almost certain that we will have a global government by the end of the century. The current trend is centralisation of power.

I was thinking today about whats going to happen at around 2050-2100 period, and i tried to think of the most logical thing that could happen during that time, so here it is. Also post what you think will happen.

Okay around 2040-2050 there will be an resource crisis, massive price hikes will occur arcoss the globe and war will erupt between nations to aquire resources, an example would be USA demanding Australia not to supply china or anyone else with coal (which can be produced into oil), Australia being US bitch will agree prompting china to get agressive and invade. War will occur in this region and will most likely occur across the globe with miltiary European nations invading african-asian nations for resources and Russia and China agressively expanding there boarders to gain more resources. India and Pakistan will nuke each other into obilivon.

There are a few things wrong with this:

  • You can make oil from coal, yes, but only one country in the world - South Africa - does it
  • I highly doubt that oil will still be our main method of electricity generation then, and if we're just using it for petrol, reserves will last much longer than that. Long enough to be replaced by hydrogen.
  • Australia would never agree to something so ridiculous
  • China is not going to invade Australia under any circumstances.
  • There are other methods of obtaining coal.

Around 2050-2070 will be the global food crisis, Fish stocks will go down, food supplies are dissapearing and floods and doughts and desertification has consumed much farmland combined with urban areas. food riots will cripple nations and force many into miltary rule and cival war will errupt between government supporters trying to bring peace and low class rebels who want all the food hoarded with ration distribution to be distributed to the people. 

Possible, I will admit. Do bear in mind, though, that nothing like this has ever happened in the entirety of human history, and there have been many droughts and famines. Besides, at one point or another, world population will stagnate. I don't see this grand food crisis happening.

2070-2100: What would occur after this would be the racial divide, people group themselves with people they can relate to and trust them more, so during the food riot chaos goverments and miltary will break down and people will group in there own tribes of there own race. WIth global migration and cultural mixing, tribes like this would form all over nations. The tribes each desperate for food would attack and destroy others to get there food and this will continue. 

I would think that by that point, racism would be pretty much gone. If grouping happened, it would be by nationality. Why should you trust someone of your own race more than anyone else? Stalin and Pol Pot terrorised the people of their own race.

Since most of the good farm land has been destroyed continual genocide between tribes and stavation combined with recent wars and chaos would of reduced population by around 2/3. 

Continual genocide? Genocide implies that the victims cannot fight back, but you seem to be describing a massive war.

2100- : currently in the global warming debate and climate change on the side were people would say "The earth will just fix it self", why you may argue that, in fact they are right, with the only way earth wouldn't fix it self as the most extreme (global nuking, metroid strike, moon is destroyed etc etc). I believe that over time people will continue to decline in numbers, global population would reach around <500 million, that the tribes will become primative over time while still retaining modern technology will live in small isolated communities for 100s if not 1000s of years while the earth recovers. 

The earth recovers? From what? What have we done to the Earth? We've done a lot to each other and ourselves, admittedly, but we've barely touched the ball of rock, iron and magma beneath us. It could recover from our "enormous impact" within a century - go look at Enslaved

That all could happen or an Ice age will occur killing all. 

This is just silly. Ice Ages don't just randomly happen. They take several hundred years to begin and require specific winds and water currents and so on. Solar minimums do not cause ice ages.

anyways What you think would happen?

So, yes, I think you're being excessively pessimistic.

We're relatively new on earth, scratch that, we're VERY new to earth, the idea that the world is going to end anytime soon is ... unlikely.

We'll most likely be wiped out by nukes before anything else.

I disagree.  I don't think the trend is nearly strong enough to overcome the reluctance of people and national governments.  But I would not be surprised to see continent-sized governments (NA, SA, most of Europe, Muslim nations from Egypt to Central Asia, most of the rest of Africa, some kind of thing in SE Asia and the Pacific)

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.

Wow, this thread is very negative.

In 30 years, fossil fuels will run out. We all switch to renewable resources like solar power, we all sit in daisy fields, get stoned and dance around.

The end.



Zombie apocalypse in the next decade.



I am the black sheep     "of course I'm crazy, but that doesn't mean I'm wrong."-Robert Anton Wilson

We have all the technology already to get rid of oil dependency, but for now oil is still the cheapest solution. Oil won't run out over night, it will get harder to come by and prices will start to rise more and more.
That will make the alternatives more attractive by comparison, making us less dependent on oil, pump more money into refining alternative energy technologies, making it more affordable for everybody. It will balance out in the end.

I don't know if a food crisis will happen. The climate also doesn't change over night. Food production will migrate to the best places to grow it. There's plenty of 'new' ground becoming available when the vast north of Canada and Russia become more habitable. And all those old turned to desert farms can be converted to produce solar energy.

The world will change, people will adapt. As long as we don't boil off the oceans we'll survive. Who knows, Africa might become the world leader in exporting cheap hydrogen fuel made with solar power and sea water pumped in along the coast. Pump sea water through the oil pipe lines to convert to hydrogen, oxygen and salt as a by product. Import food grown in Syberia.

It will be smart to do something about overpopulation, and the best way to do that is to invest in developing the rest of the world. People in 'first' world countries are too busy with careers to have a lot of children and their population would be shrinking without immigration.



I would like to point out that the current biggest issue at the moment is Overpopulation. This will be the most likely breaking point for the human race. Some thing drastic has to happen, whether its mass death because of war, famine, genocide or government control and reducing family size to 1 child per couple because after 80-100 years population will halve.

But the first thing in order to survive is for 1 child policy to go global. Fossil Fuel Dependability to cease completely. Greater investment in land regeneration. Global migrations out of areas to allow land regeneration and have an large popluation together in 1/3 of the globe land, have the other 1/3 be farm production and have the other 1/3 being land regeneration. Then every 100 or so years move around. Keep the 1 child policy until global population declines to 1-2 billion people.

There are so many things that can be done to make the world and better place to bad we are violent people who dont get along with each other very well.



Of Course That's Just My Opinion, I Could Be Wrong

By 2100 Australia might finally get an R18 rating for videogames.
