I had a moment yesterday. A friend was commenting about her bf’s brothers, who are in their 50s, then said something about her bf being an oops baby 9 years later. I was SO confused because hitting 50 has always been old as hell to me, in a very grown up way. Yeaaaaah, I’m def already in my late 30s and heading that way fast. I just don’t feel old enough for that. 😅

So there are actually several drugs currently in clinical trials that have been shown to halt the progression of the disease so these drugs should make it to market within just 10 years.
Although halting the disease is one problem, reversing the effects is another ballgame in which we have made little to no progress but a lot can change in 50 years.

"To yeet" in early Modern English (yeten in Middle English) meant "to use you/ye" instead of using "thou/thee". Opposite was to thou (thouten in Middle English). Same as German siezen and duzen.

It becomes a generational conflict, where people in each generation continue fighting because they develop a personal stake in it.
Imagine you have your family and your grandfather was killed 20 years ago in the war. Your family has a personal stake in the conflict, because your grandfather died in the war. So that causes your father to decide to involve himself in the war, because of that personal cost.
Then your father dies in the war. Suddenly a conflict that started 50 years ago has affected you personally. It didn't matter to you, until it touched your direct family. Now suddenly "the enemy" - whoever that is - has taken something from you.
That's why ceasefires are so important. It reduces that personal investment people get in these conflicts and eventually over generations that personal cost gets further away.

Ownership will become a thing of the past. Software is currently well down the subscription road. Eventually every company will devise a way to lock you into perpetual payments. You won't buy a car, you will learn one for three years then be forced into a mandatory upgrade. Housing will all be rental, there is already a growing trend of developing entire neighborhoods of rental houses want to buy a TV? It will come with a year of the manufacturers proprietary software and will require a subscription after that. Don't want to subscribe? No problem...but Netflix and Hulu and Prime and peacock and every other streaming platform will require the update before they will work on your TV.

It will come with a year of the manufacturers proprietary software and will require a subscription after that.
The TV modding scene is starting to ramp up. Already they are jailbreaking TV's and installing new firmware.
Basically all TV's are like giant smart phones at this point. Installing Linux on Samsung TV's is already pretty easy -- I expect to see manufacturers lock them up in the future though just like they did phones. Soon you will get a new TV, install a fresh version of Android TV and then the only thing that will matter is the panel specs and CPU/GPU that the TV has -- just like a smartphone.

It's ridiculous that we can't just buy plain screens. All that wasted production and ewaste just so they can annoy us with an ad industry that shouldn't even exist.
We need two markets. One for humans and the other for these mindless consumer pigeons who just keep supporting garbage.

The GDP per capita around the world will rise (after inflation), and this will lead to an enormous increase in energy consumption. This will increase demand for all sorts of energy, including both renewables and fossil fuels. In the near term (5-10 years), you can expect to see coal consumption rise in the emerging world.

Advertisements will become more invasive. You'll be driving to work and hit a mandatory road checkpoint where your vehicle is disabled to watch a 60 second ad for the Nord VPN Manscape Testicle Trimmer Slim Wallet presented by Liberty Mutual Car Insurance, then it is enabled again and you can continue driving.

Quantum computers will crack all kinds of encryption in milliseconds, and no password is truly safe.
The only secure method would be a biometric anal probe that the users have to insert into their anus to authenticate any transaction.

I’m shocked no one has said anything about climate change… in the next 50 years, there is a 100% chance of the average temperature of the world going up by at least 1°C, of more extreme weather events such as floods, heatwaves and forest fires happening, and the rise of sea levels due to melting glaciers .. :(

Maybe not 100%, but I am convinced there is at least 95% percent chance that we will see a nuclear warhead used offensively. I don’t think it will cause a nuclear holocaust but I do think it will change the world as we know it. I really really really hope I am wrong though.

A deepfake of a politician being mistaken for an actual political statement.
