I feel like I’m a really good judge of character; I can tell if I’m not going to get along with someone or how they will treat me in the future. When it comes to high profile celebrity figures, i can get a sense of their character through very minimal data. This is why I predict Andrew Tate (toxic manosphere influencer) will pivot into becoming an alien conspiracy influence. But I have no evidence for it, thus the prediction is baseless.
Anyone have any similar beliefs/predictions?
Have you seen Elysium?
Yeah…pretty much that. In some form or another. It won’t necessarily be the wealthy people blasting off to a space station, more likely just hiding away on luxury islands while the rest of the world continues to go to shit.
The world order will collapse when brainrot GenZ will take the reins
Nah. Gen Z is going to end up like Gen X. It is Gen Alpha which is going to kill us all if the Boomers don’t already do it.
I don’t want to think about it but probably. I, as a GenZ, see them as very similar to boomers but with a kind of restlessness they will apply to inappropriate contexts. Boomers for all their faults are good at only tapping into their blood pressure dysregulation to kill people or advocate for war or racism, GenZ is just in a transient state between chaotic or tranquilised, so i could see a GenZ world leader firing a nuke for fun or something. But hey.
My country will pivot to the far left the economy will get even worse then we will aggressively swing to the far right and things will get even worse then we will get dragged into a stupid war by a stupid right wing ghoul.
The AI bubble will burst sometime in 2027/early 2028.
Trump will use the financial collapse as an excuse to suspend elections.
The majority will be too busy scrambling to survive to complain.
he needs to keep the epstein files from being discussed, Dems dont seem to keen on trying to release it, they are just stringing it along, despite them "claiming they will do it.
Same to first statement, i actually forgot trump would be around by 27 and 28 (because i’m not american), and that theory all lines up
back in 2017-18 , called out russia was using propaganda bots to drump up articles to astroturf the subs, and look where it has turned into, leading into bannings every year, that got worst over time. the warnings were largely ignored at the time.
Already happened in 2020.

Ooh, I like this one.
With their own proprietary fork of Wine, which of course doesn’t work as well as the original.
Oligarchs, frustrated with dealing with their political sockpuppets, start just buying countries.
argentina, most of them will likely flee there, not russia, since putin will likely find a window for you and steal your assets down the line.
Seems very plausible.
As a kid i always wondered why countries didn’t buy up parts of other countries to avoid bloodshed for territory.
A) A country’s proper area is very important to it, especially an “ancient” country like Switzerland’s neighbours,
B) Citizens do cause a fuss about having their leaders change undemocratically or suddenly - it could make taxes or travel different - and they tend to revolt at sudden unconsented change like that, even if it’s only surface level.
I see this being most likely to occur for places like middle eastern oil states, so Oligarchs is definitely the right conditionality. Or big empires like the USA and China
One stratagem is to buy up the territory and then be mindful of the needs of those who are already on it.
The problem is, when we’re rich and powerful, it’s just way to easy to indulge our racist and classist proclivities, and then do a genocide.
Seriously, we humans just haven’t evolved past the bush tribes we were fifty thousand years ago.
Yes, true. Could have been known as the great merchant empire, but it’s overshadowed by their attempts and successes at military conquest and coup d’etats instead.
I think the earth is going to metaphorically say enough is enough and step in to fix climate change because humans are too selfish and greedy to do it ourselves. I think this is going to come by way of a massive volcanic eruption that causes short term global cooling while killing a good chunk of the population across a large geographical area both from the immediate disaster and the resulting long term damage from widespread ash/famine that could result.
The earth has been through many many climate changes, this isn’t the first, it isn’t the last
The earth don’t care, it keeps chugging along, no it’s us that won’t survive
Yeah i think that too! Great example, fits with the “no evidence” aspect
Okay now it’s weird how many people are citing things i’ve also thought about!
I expect him to be a quite significant figure in history textbooks, hopefully as an example of how not to lead, as the USA’s version of King Henry VIII of England, and the reason why the constitution and electoral system was changed. A rare example of president->prison pieline taking place in the USA.
However. It just feels like he has some unholy power to prolong our suffering and tank any blows to his career or even his life. I fuoly expect that he’ll stay alive as long as possible which wiol prevent americans talking so candidly bout him.
Or maybe it’ll allow trump to see every last member of his cult turn on him. Maga voters will finally admit that whoever comes after trump is better, they haven’t seen lasting change or security following his regime, and it wasn’t at all worth the humiliation they subjected themselves to. They’re like a really toxic F-ed up college fraternity.
The longer he lives, the more time he has to live with the consequences that catch up to him.
Smart move on his part is to die as close to inauguration day as possible, but not beyond it.
With so many AI data centres needing so much power and none seeming to use solar power etc, we’ll start seeing “grid rationing” where suburbs will get “time zones” where there will be power and no power.
Instead of people rising up or pushing back, they will get distracted by arguing that certain/richer suburbs get prioitised more than lower class suburbs.
I’m sure AI can be used to solve the problems that might introduce :-)
they just end up charging people more for gas/electric and water instead of charging the datacenter owners.
I think there will be some crazy scientific breakthrough that will change everything.
Totally baseless, and it’s mostly the idiot optimist inside me that believes it, but I kind of have to believe it else I’ll go bananaser then I already am.
AI has honestly changed a lot about my life/intended life plan. Especially when it was released, it basically rolled out as i graduated high school.
I actually started out in a creative/arts based degree but quit it early on, so i think to a lot of people it looked like i was scared of AI stealing my job. I wasn’t back then, but i now kind of am concerned that scummy employers will lay-off a lot of people and try to have AI do their work in that field.
Anyway not to say AI fits your description, as it doesn’t really, but it indicates to me that sense of tumultuous change. Likewise, covid. That changed everything too. I don’t think these things come in pairs but in waves, kike the chsnge of the 19th and 20th centuries.
To me, AI is most impactful in ways it was originally created for: combing through large data sets to make connections, even if that data set is a picture, or fifty of them. E.g., an ai was used to look at pictures taken with a microscope and it was able to pick out different structures/organisms without staining. Similar systems were also used to find discrete hints of far off galaxies than astronomers would struggle to detect without making their data quite noisy.
The big companies had nothing to do with these afaik, especially since the researchers that wrote the papers used machine learning in there methodology instead of the colloquial “AI”, which I will always see as a misnomer until such time an AI is generally accepted to be someone, which I don’t believe will happen anytime soon with our level of technology and failing biosphere.
And I think it will come from AI. It’s either that or aliens, and only one of those two actually exist.
We will see WWIII in my life time (next 50 years, if I’m lucky).
It will be started over something that will seem incredibly silly, in hindsight.
I think historians will likely be deciding if we are already in ww3 or not. Although I’m quite surprised China hasn’t moved on Taiwan
I totally agree. If recent Iran conflict war had gone much further or had successfully roped in the USA’s NATO allies, it would have fit all those criterias.
It shows that we teeter on a precipice above the pit of wartime
We’ve gotten really comfortable at being 11 seconds to midnight. Anything pushes us past 12am
More likely the way one politician limply holds their wrist while pouring water for another politician; or some equally arcane “power move”.
Trump dead ,and having street parties over the world.
Ebola 3.0 and bird flu attack on the humans
flu is easy to become pandemic. several things can happen, antigenic shift, genetic drift, and the most popular is recombination. the h5n1/h1n1 flus can just recombine with pig and human flus to make it person to person.
Not completely baseless, but Florida is going to go bankrupt one year and cause a major political problem for the US.
If they move on with removing taxes on property the political and operational shot show of cities and counties without cash turning to special assessments and creating fees for school police and public services, essentially taxes that can raise without being voted, and with less supervision, that will make the “no step on snake” crowd revolt because gvmnt services without payment seems to be their thing.
How does Disney factor into this prediction? I’ve never been there, but it seems like an oasis in the middle of a shit desert (speaking mostly about its ability to manage itself and just generally function).
disney, and HOME insurance is one of the things besides disney keeping it afloat. nobody wants to risk insuring a disaster prone state.
It doesn’t help that DeSantis’s anti-Disney push was around the time that Disney was in the process of moving more corporate jobs from California to Florida, which Disney stopped doing after the fiasco.
However, what will likely cause a collapse is that Florida has gotten into hurricane home insurance. If there is a bad year for Florida, Florida might not be able to cover the payouts for insurance claims. Combined with its current housing price slump already, and Florida may have major issues down the road.
i heard people are paying double/triple the premiums for home insurance. plus all the snowbirds/retirement folks going there are rethinking thier plans.
I know someone in Florida who pays about 40% more than me in home owners insurance, despite my mid-Atlantic house being worth ~2.5x as much.
