- After the second winter with covid, countries successfully implement a playbook that restricts freedom as little as possible while containting the virus. Some cultural habbits die off (huge events inside in winter), while new events emerge (a culture of doing things outside with others)
- Elon says something so incredibily stupid that this time it affects his company's performance.
- The social media attention contest continues to be won by fakers, ex-addicts and felons. More non-family friendly content is being accepted from the overlords at FAANG. This has profound effects on society.
- More people from the left start identifying as intellectual right. There's a phaseshift happening and one day it's woke to be right and reactionary to be left.
- midasuni 5y agoI can see more acceptance from Facebook, google and Amazon (market place), but Netflix and Apple?

This has profound effects on society. Is this really any different to the "reality TV" era in the early 00s? I suspect there's something innately human about wanting to see trashy people.
- timdaub 5y agoYeah. But I also think that e.g. ex-addicts like Mike from The Nightshift or the German equivalent Montana Black: They have an energy that others on these platforms don't have. They're street smart and probably less constraint in what they can do and say. They aren't perceived as ex-addicts, but it seems their mentality is promoted through algorithms. Dunno, it's a small sample size but anyways a fun prediction.
- AussieWog93 5y agoOh, not saying you're wrong at all (Spanian springs to mind as an Aussie example!). Just think it's deeper than algorithms is all.
