In 100yrs what will the most shocking thing about today be?
- thurmanx 3y agoHumanity did not save itself from climate catastrophe when it had a chance.
- stoneman24 3y agoYep, the science is clear and the severe weather events are right in front of you on multiple continents. Some level of climate change is already baked in. Yet the political debates are not reflecting the current situation. I hope we make the changes in time to avoid the worst models but I doubt that we will. Read “the ministry for the future” by Kim Stanley Robinson. I believe that there are many possible actions that will improve the situation but there are lots of people downplaying it or just flat out ignoring it.
- campervans 3y agoAgreed, but will the be seen as ‘shocking’? It seems this human trajectory is expected
- dave4420 3y agoThat people were trying to create slaves (in this case, AGI for business use).

- Shekelphile 3y agoAcceptance of and capitulation to reactionaries.
- campervans 3y agoGood one. It does seem inevitable we’ll always mean revert to scientific truth
- dudul 3y agoThat we were all under the impression that we lived in a democracy.
- campervans 3y agoNew world order incoming…
- ingonealan3 3y agoHumanity's arrogance, believing that another being is somehow inferior (and ourselves, by implication, superior) and should not be part of this reality.
- soueuls 3y agoProbably the gender theory thing. In 100 years I think people will laugh to the idea that we once debated whether men could be pregnant or not.
- campervans 3y agoHow about (in order of most shocking): - More people died in car crashes than wars - That the healthcare system was built to cure already ill people, rather than prevent people from getting ill. - That genetic diseases went untreated
