I'd say that is a pretty pessimistic view of the future, specifically about climate change. Somehow we'll work out carbon nanotube based ladders to space but not access to water? It takes extremely pessimistic predictions of the bad stuff and really optimistic stuff about the good stuff.

Look back 100 years and multiply the changes and advances made by at least 100, I would say.

This is the kind of future I'll happily sign up for. Screw drought, nuclear war, famine and pestilence. I don't want to waste my time tying my own shoes.

We will destroy ourselves with nukes or AI becomes self aware and takes over... doubt we'll be around for too long to be honest.

"2031 World War 3.... 2032 first manned mission to Mars"?

I would have thought "2031 World War 3... 2032 (see 2000 BCE)" would be more likely.

Along similar lines: I don't know if he coined the phrase but at a conference I attended Noam Chompsky said "intelligence is a fatal mutation".

Yea I've seen that, but it only works when it's over another magnet, won't hold a persons weight either

Still it's only a matter of time I'm sure.

As for the people predicting nuclear holocaust, seriously the cold war ended ages ago, thats like soooooooooooooo 1980's :pac:

A common theme thru history - back to the earliest written texts - is that it was better in the old times, now is limbo, and the future is hell on earth.

However; Humans only progress, with minor setbacks such as war, famine, and various ecological disasters (which we do fix usually).

We already know how to make unlimited fresh water. That video predicts we will die due to drought but have access to Helium-3 Fusion Reactors (endless energy, virtually). We could surely build a few desalination plants? Perhaps the Irish will run the taps so hard during the winter due to fear of pipes bursting that the world will really run out of water, but I doubt it. I think we might dig the pipes deeper into the ground by then. Perhaps.

The Amazon: Why is it being cut down now, and which advanced in technology will obsolete it ? Paperless societies and high intensity farming or in-vitro meat perhaps ? No need for agri-land or paper.

Anyways - it's funny how we can build a space elevator, colonize mars, the moon, and travel to alpha centaury but we will still destroy the earth in the process and start a few world wars.

I own several popular science mags from the 70es and 80es and they all predict 'the year 2000' magic number we would have flying cars, AI, a pill that cures everything, space travel, and all kinds of stuff which they thought made sense at the time but in retrospect is pure fantasy.
