All is Not Lost: Humanity’s Next 300 Years

Doom scrolling through our days, let alone our phones

Hasn’t it always been bad? Steven Pinker and Violence

The endless cycles of creation and annihilation

Did we even come from Earth?

And so we move forward

Next 20 years: rise of fascism/dominance of China

Next 50 years: climate change and waves of migration (rise of communicable disease)

Next 75 years: the emergence of interplanetary exploration and the domed cities—technology comes to the fore, again 

Next 100 years: ravages of climate change and disease (the new pandemic) 

Next 150 years: the great extinction—⅓ of humanity dies

Next 200 years: 1/3 the population is left 

Next 250 years: Mother nature takes over, turning our grey to green and blue

Then what?
