Making predictions this far into the future when we have the huge global warming crisis looming ahead doesn't seem very wise. The arguments put forward in the article reinforce this initial impression. They don't seem to have thought very hard.

By 2075 my 10 year old nephew will be over 12m tall given current growth rates!

As an Indian, this article would have fit nottheonion. The guy speculating this must be high on something really strong enough to make an elephant sleep soundly for a few days, to put it mildly.

I'm trying to figure out if we're being astroturfed with pro-India/Modi stuff here on worldnews. What do you think is going on?

[-] TimeMuncher2@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

I doubt it. The Indian subs moved elsewhere (squabbles.io?) and the ones on lemmy world or other instances are not official. Most are staying back on reddit. If you feel there's too much Indian news you can limit it.

It's all these invest-bating "think-tanks" that want to manipulate market evaluation by promoting the heck out of states with fascists leadership or fascist-adjacent states, like India and Poland. The key is to see how the comparisons are framed, and as soon as you hear a leaning interest in one way or the other you know the article is only made to manipulate and not inform.

Also, Goldman-Sachs should be treated as a political organisation as well, because it pretty much fríggin' is.

Why would the think tanks benefit from promoting fascist (adjacent) states? Are they getting paid?

[-] taanegl@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Yes. Absolutely. That's literally what they do. Their job is to find out how to create psy-ops, manipulate, confuse, subvert and game systems - hiding behind a veil of "top experts in their fields figuring out big problems", except the big problem is you voting for your actual interests.

It's a very long standing tradition in the US for instance to rely on think tanks behind closed doors to figure out how to game the system... mostly from republicans... because republicans is partly a fascist party, thanks to the stupidity of a two-party system.

I mean a massive ass party that gets pelted with money by wealthy donors? They invest that money.

What a useless "prediction." On one hand, of course, the country with the largest population has a high chance of having a large economy. On the other hand, speculating half a century from now what anything is going to look like is asinine.

Our Indian prime minister first gave us the deadline of 2020 (Superpower), now it has been postponed to 2047 (100 years after Independence)... don't make him push it further more lmao. Send help

By posting such nonsense, you're effectively promoting it. Don't do that please.

[-] Jackolantern@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Wait, is the US already the second largest?

[-] holgersson@lemmy.one 10 points 1 year ago

Depends on the measure.

By GDP? No

By GDP adjusted by PPP? Yes

China and US are neck and neck so it swings back and forth with the stock market.

[-] Mangoholic@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Goldman Sachs: we have no credibility anymore lets predicted something that might happen.

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

Empires usually only last about 250 years.

LMAO India superpower one day. Maybe not this century though

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

India was the 3rd largest economy last time I looked.

You don't need to bomb other countries to be considered a super power.
