Yes, I look at kids today and I can't imagine what their life will look like in a decade or two. I was very pessimistic in 2014 and here in 2024, I can't believe how much worse things are than I imagined back then. Political dysfunction is obvious, and the financialization of every aspect of life crept up faster than I could have imagined. And climate change is hitting faster than I thought it would while we ever increase our carbon emissions. I don't know what I'd tell a kid to do or hope for.
- taylodl 2y agoI'm hoping for super-sentient robots, that, with any luck, will remember us fondly. They'll be able to survive on a hot Earth, and frankly, they could survive on the Moon and Mars much easier than we can. They're also capable of interstellar travel. Hopefully they won't pick up where we left off and soon destroy themselves too. They will be humankind's legacy. I look at it as the purpose, if you will, of our species is to build that which cannot evolve.
