the only correct prediction you can make about (technology in) the future is that it will be unpredictable. no human being, idiot or genius, will ever have a precise, complete vision of the long-term future. outside of their own meddling with events, at most they will get some big details right but only at a rate slightly better than random guessing and far below a level that would be useful
Oh geez thanks Sherlock!

I accurately predicted video game livestreamers back in the 80s. anyone who went to the acades could have known there'd be an audience for watching people around the world play games live from home
from what I've read, alot of sci-fi books got it right and will get it right in the futurethat was a zionist film by the way

>>107088646Wow, what a contrived way of saying "lol, I dunno."Maybe keep your navel gazing to yourself next time.
>>107088649the funny thing about society is that people expect you to pretend you know more than you actually dopeople often told me I had poor social skills but after years of deeply talking to most people they really don't understand other people (or society), they just pretend to do so.i remember a conversation i had with my "cool" cousin where she said she has a unique ability to "read people" that she developed as a bartender. I asked her, "well, at what rate do you think you can read people?" and she said "around 40% of the time". I said "isn't that worse than randomly guessing?" all you need to have "good social skills" to other people is to vocally be confident about it, even though it's logically impossible for human beings to reliably understand most people they meet (excluding those who they are close with). if anyone was as good as the think they are at understanding other people, ted bundy would have never gotten away with anything. in reality, what people are talking about when they talk about "social skills" is just adopting a particular presumptive attitude, self-confidence, and willingness to play into their alternative "social reality" if you earnestly point this fact out, people will just smugly say "you're just projecting your own inability onto others", which, of course, they have to say as part of this circular logic. i'm not smarter than anyone, it's just the rules of the game that you can't mention it or hear about itit's sort of like a collective dunning krueger effect, and people are very defensive about this shibboleth
>>107088891and yes i know this is written like a schizopost i just don't want to put the effort into making it sound less insane
>>107088891the reality of the situation is that everyone (including myself) knows very little about anything and there's sort of a social taboo against pointing this out, so people will feel that you're either pretentious or clueless
>>107088646actually not true, some of my predictions were so spot on that it made me a multimillionaire in under 10 years.

>>107088646If you want to know the future just watch Elysium, it's pretty much what awaits us except for the good ending.
