We are heading towards the unknown, seemingly with no brakes. Our fate now more than ever truly is up in the air. What do you think life will be like in the future?

What a great question!
I think the future is going to be pretty fucken awful. I’m sorry, but everything is just so bleak.
Like if you think about how things were 10 years ago in February 2016, and compare it to now, and then extrapolate into the future, it’s not really easy to find things that are going in the right direction.
We’re supposed to be addressing Climate Change and Plastic waste, but populations the world over are lurching to the right and choosing instead to be mean to poor people.
That said, apparently we’re really terrible at predicting the future. “If You’re Listening” podcast did a short series about this. There was some audio messages recorded in the 1950s (?) that were intended to be listened to in the distant future, like now. The things they predicted were just bonkers really.
