So I got to make it at least til 2100. Got to be really old by then, but with medical advancement it could be possible.

Seems like it jumped to 2124 instead

You know, I'm glad I'll be dead by the time the one world government is formed (not from old age or anything, I'll just check out early.) EDIT: Actually no, I'll definitely be dead as fuck either way. Thank god.

Joking, kind of. It's not like this list is indicative of any true future reality. The direction we're heading in is WAY worse.

[-] Lemminary@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah, this feels overly optimistic and wearing rose-colored glasses. Shit has been going downhill for decades and AI is just icing on a shit cake.

[-] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

This feels like a recap of a game of Alpha Centauri

[-] BallShapedMan@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago

2034 is wrong, that's when the matrix starts to happen or whatever lol

[-] CharlesMangione@lemmy.world -2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)
