    Let’s see.

    • We’ll probably be up to the iPhone 22 but I doubt that’s what they’ll call it.
    • We will have missed the majority of the global warming deadlines to transition to greener energy by 2030 with most companies pushing out their timeliness to 2050.
    • The buzz around AI will have died down a bit but the technology will have found its niche and been adopted both as a useful tool and the next step of enshittification against users.
    • The SpaceX Mars mission will still be nowhere to be found
    • The first $10 trillion+ market cap company will exist by then
    • There will be some other, different conflict in the middle-east
    • The invasion of Taiwan will have either already been attempted or China gives up on it and decides to focus on building their own fabs
    • Putin is still in control of Russia but extremely rarely seen outside of his bunker. Thee are many conspiracies that he is dead and has been replaced by a double
    • The war in Ukraine has stalled with neither party being able to achieve complete victory. There is an armistice in place but not a proper peace accord
    • The price of food has almost doubled again compared to today but wages only increased by 60%
    • There is an even higher social tension between the left and right but people are unwilling to try to break out of the two party system
    • Lemmy has 2-3 x users compared to today but is still a niche platform

    We’ll still be reading articles about Trump’s “legal blows” despite ongoing and consistently successful delay tactics.

    I believe both the democratic and republican parties will be in the midst of a crisis of transition of leadership.

    Six more years could easily take out the big power brokers of both parties, and I see this leading to a large amount of infighting amongst both parties for platform control.

    For the Dems it’ll be between the establishment chosen successors and the progressive ascendants, it’s going to be a fight instead of a wash out because even convincing progressives to turn out for their own is like pulling teeth.

    For the Republicans it will be infighting sects of the cult of Trump. In a peak of Irony, I see faults forming in a manner similar to the Sunni Shi’a split, where the disagreements are mostly about who the true successor is.

      I honestly don’t believe this will happen, I think most countries that hate each other (US/China) know that they rely on each other. It will just be a Cold War fought through shitty proxies ruining countless lives imho

    I’ll be a little bit older. Other than that, and assuming that no wars break out, I have high hopes for the future! 🕊️
