AI takes over the workforce.This causes the end of capitalism as we know it, instead humans are free to pursue their passions.A 2nd Renaissance happens, no longer bound to archaic systems of oppression,mankind enters a new age.hunger and sickness are eradicated. I marry Sydney Sweeney.
Everything mostly stays the same and then a radical group wins overwhelmingly across the nation over the next 2-4 years and our climate conflict becomes top priority, we utilize nuclear so well energy becomes almost free to the people and housing cost goes down by 50%. We avoid apocalypse
In 2028 the new president nationalizes SpaceX and begins a crash program to limit global warming via orbital sunshades and algae-bloom carbon sequestration, while embarking on an Apollo program level effort to master nuclear fusion
Oh I didn’t mention an election lol, idk about those~~~
Just a “new president.” Which, given how things have been I don’t know we’ve had one of those since Carter. possibly Ike. The rest have been clones
I don't really like this exercise, but I guess in the rosiest timeline, maga cult members wake up to the obvious fact that their dear leader is a liar and a maniac. They join us in class conscious solidarity and fight against the people running this planet into the ground. Then everybody clapped.
I don't see a rosy path without there first being some kind of crash. The best case to me seems like an immediate and obvious failure of the right's economic interventions - one that directly causes enough damage that it both makes accountibility possible and creates room for better economic ideas.
Follow that with a moment in which a more hopeful vision of the world takes hold - one that can tackle economic justice and climate change in tandem, and which does so transnationally. But we need a definitve break with our current moment before that can happen.
Sort of but also I haven't sat down and really articulated it. It's just been a collection of cool things we could figure out and do technologically and socially.
Someday I'll write a book. Or several books.
Rest assured it has green energy and trains. And maybe humanity that looks vaguely elvish.
Which is to say, long lifespans, trending taller as we continue to do, and having even more tech that's indistinguishable from magic. Also working with nature instead of bulldozing and "conquering" it.
We create mass support for ideally both massive wealth transfer to the poorest nations a la PiH and immigration reform for climate migrants, small nuclear + solar solves power needs & gas production globally and we enter an age of energy abundance.
The AI entity that wakes up into Superintelligence is the algorithm that makes recommendations on Pornhub. Society is just a horny pile of debauchery from then until the heat death of the universe.
The nuclear apocalypse does actually happen so we die instantly instead of slowly choking on our own air as the sun cooks us while a Minister reads sermons in the only air conditioned bubble left on earth about our sins and vices and how climate change is a hoax
The Republican party splits on MAGA who are unable to find a new leader when Trump can't run again. The Democratic party fails to beat the stink of weakness from the 2024 loss. With the two corporate parties at their most vulnerable in 100 years, a new party emerges with plans to simplify government
People come together best when there's an out-group to fight against. When an alien invasion shocks humanity into recognizing that global capitalism leads to the game-theory inefficiency of mutual competition then transaction-based motivations become cringe. We all work together to save the world.
Benevolent aliens invade us and use their advanced terraforming technology to reverse the damage we’ve caused to the climate and force us to adopt an economic model that doesn’t incentivize climate destruction and war.
A volcanic supereruption not powerful enough to make us extinct, but powerful enough to cool the atmosphere, enrich the soil, and bust us back down to stone age technology?
WW3 cripples the economies of the US, Russia and China without a huge loss of life. They each break in to smaller nations that are all thankfully run by people that do not want war.
These smaller nations now similar in size to many European nations exist and endure in a a few decades of poverty and regrowth but not suffering, this gives time for the environment to start recovering.
Those nations that avoided the war in the first place show the new how to move on and recover, in a hundred years time the European union has a new name and now extends across the globe promoting peace and understanding, ethics, and environmentalism.
but seriously I think we all need this, the doomposting is seriously not good for the brain. but with every shitty thing some people do, we always see good folks stepping up and trying to counter it. have faith in the goodness of people, it's stronger than we may think.
The trump cabinet shunts into one giant mountain of flesh and americans set aside their differences to combat the foul blob of hate.
Its timely death releases a cloud of gas that preciptates carbon and methane out of the air.
Oh, and it gives me the ability to digest gluten again.
AGI and robotics begin to radically alter the world in 5 years. We reorganize societies to make all lives livable. We make sure everyone gets deep educations. We give up misguided beliefs about the world and our selves. We are machines programmed as we interact with mutable social institutions.
These 4 years go by much like 2016-2020. Then we get Pete, AOC or Newsome. They usher in a democratic time that lasts for decades. We get healthcare for all.
According to Star Trek, the next couple decades get worse, but then we become united earth, invent warp drive, meet Vulcans, and live happily ever after.
Huge and wide scale advance in near sci-fi technologies occur and are affordable approved on both sides of the aisle and we somehow find a way to reverse the damage done.
The Ministry for the Future presents a grounded near-future sci-fi of the climate crisis. It’s not like. The rosiest rosiest but I wouldn’t hate it if that’s what we managed to pull off
Trump dismantles the government’s institutions and systems, then people like Bernie come in with effective systems that actually build high speed rail, give us universal healthcare, and revamps a broken educational system (paying teachers). It won’t happen but I can dream.
I think this is my secret hope too. Trump wrecks so much of our society that we become unstuck from our bureaucratic inertia and are able to actually make something better. Stuff is on the table right now that hasn't been in the public awareness for decades if not centuries.
One day we will find that this mountain we are climbing does have a peak, and when we reach it, we will not be bitter reflecting on our setbacks and how difficult it was to climb. We will be overcome with joy, as the journey is finally finished.
Climate: renewables get even more dirt cheap driving rapid worldwide transition regardless of politics. Rapid innovation in hard to abate sectors gets us to net zero mid century. Late 21st century tech breakthrough allows almost free carbon capture and CO2 begins to fall. Deus ex machina? 🤷♂️
Politically: Trump does extremely unpopular things and/or external events drag him down. Appointees ineffective and despite scariness he accomplishes little. R midterm wipeout in 2026, Obama-level strong dem candidate emerges 2027, back to normal 2028.
Me and my friends promote regenerative agriculture and rebuild our neighborhoods with people we might disagree with. We build trust and eventually unionize local tenants and businesses. We love each other and we pull people into a world and reality worth living in.
We use the crops we grow to help feed each other (supplementing what you buy) and build up soil health. That way we can maybe survive more droughts and floods
Is it going to be easy to be marginalized? God no. I'm queer and Hispanic. But I'm going to stay safe, and keep my friends safe, and I need y'all to think of concrete things you that are doable. Every conversation, every action could help
My rosiest (or delusional) timeline is a cultural reckoning where we spend more time together IRL, hold disinformation peddlers accountable, and hold each other’s humanity in highest value.
Humans are bad but we are also reliably good. We need each other.
My "rosiest timeline" includes the extinction of humanity. I really see only one way to protect the biodiversity of this planet and that's to reduce the number of species on the planet by exactly one.
Trump will realize his mortality and want to create a true legacy for his name in history for his second term rather than just perpetuate the selfish actions of his first.
I know, it's a crazy thought, and I doubt we'll see anything like it.
There is so much backlash to the awful stuff that's going to happen for the next 4 years that the following 20 years will be extremely progressive, loving, and kind. This I pray.
The fascists all kill each other quickly, a progressive reaction to their insane government means we can start mitigating the worse of the impending climate crisis and our society adapts to them as they come, since unless we all go preindustrial it's just going get worse then stabilize.
Complete failure of the Trump admin during a national crisis (h5n1, massive tariff inflation, sudden climate collapse) leads to landslide 2026 blue wave. Trump has a health event, JD Vance assumes presidency, names Elon Musk as VP. The nomination is held up in congress indefinitely. JD does a
Constitutional crisis, is ACTUALLY impeached. There is no successor VP because Musk could not get majority of Congress to confirm. Therefore, the Speaker of the House (pick a democrat) becomes president.
Democratic trifecta with the country in a crisis leads to sweeping reforms:
Stack the supreme court, impeach corrupt justices, billionaires taxed out of existence, UBI and universal healthcare to mitigate effects of Crisis, fast track Green New Deal to prevent climate collapse, repeal citizens united to prevent billionaire hostile takeover again.
Hope that's enough hopium!
Granted there will be a lot of pain and death but I genuinely can't see how the next 2 years will be GOOD unless the entire Trump admin just... gets high and drunk the entire time and forgets to actually do shit. Which might be possible.
Every politician and wealthy individual who puts greed and hate above kindness and reason mysteriously suffers a massive heart attack. All we know is that Muse's "Take a Bow" starts playing in their head louder and louder until they break.
fusion energy, if developed quickly, will likely create such an energy surplus we could easily achieve most of the drastic expenses necessary to reverse the damage done to the planet
or, at the very least, power some weird inventions like water-cooled sidewalks that makes life more comfortable
That AI and the internet become so inundated with bugs and bots and it forces everyone back to real human connections and creativity. Therefore overthrowing the techbros and allowing a Bernie 2.0 to make some serious progressive change.
I'm down for any that include AOC winning the presidency. She would be very good at the bully pulpit and whatever we decide is the equivalent of a fireside chat.
Biden/Harris are compiling evidence of GOP/Russia collusion to hack election & arrest Trump, Musk, Thiel and everyone involved. Then Harris becomes president. Handing our country over to Putin in a "peaceful transition " is unacceptable to me.
I teach environmental ethics to engineers and the closest we came up with in class the other day was that things are going to continue to get worse for like 20 years but then the surviving populous will be motivated / powerful enough to build something better after.
Perhaps the unpredictable is our best hope in the coming few years, and maybe through this darkness, a new much brighter future will emerge, quicker than we even hope.
Somehow, cold fusion is invented, despite evidence to the contrary AND is immediately embraced by everyone. 2 things that are extremely unlikely but yeah
Muskrat is indicted on some sort of corruption charge or crime, either is forced to sell Twitter and/or it ends up going defunct.
Further down the line DJT is looked upon as one of the worst presidents in history and the GOP spend years trying (& failing) to distance themselves from his legacy.
GOP is so bad at governing both domestically and overseas (with limited long term econ harm and overseas deaths), Dems are given supermajority and pass new new deal (w Internet regulation) AND oversee a period of unprecedented economic growth, get elected again and populism leaves the GOP
People see that the easiest way to remove billionaires is by outlawing private jets, outlaw stocks buybacks, limit donations to politicians to $1000 from ANY entity and make a law that the largest salary in a company can only be 9x larger than the lowest, the world would thrive.
I hold out hope that trumpf second term is so bad that people wake up, midterms significantly weaken his power, he overreacts to that then 4 years from now we get leaders that want to work on actual problems and we end up in a better place. One run on sentence to save us all!
Someone just yells “AND SCENE” and we realize we have been in some weird social experiment movie and then everyone goes through therapy and becomes friends….
OR
we finally apologize for Harambe and he frees us from our doom.
Efforts supported by the Infrastructure bill have a meaningful and appreciable impact on reducing the U.S. considerable CO2 emissions while supporting economic vitality and we all survive the next 4 years to see the fruits of this investment and elect leaders who reup the support for this work
Republican infighting happens so much that nothing happens in the next four years, more republican senators resign, and the democrats end up with a supermajority 2 years in. I think that's the best possible outcome.
We've been through really bad stuff before. We (humanity as a whole) got through it before. Each time people said it was different this time, but we're still here. There is still good in people and the good people will continue to do good, and humanity will find its way.
No matter what happens, we can take solace in the fact that American democracy will inspire people for hundreds of years. Maybe again they will build something similar, but better and brighter. Like how Greek democracy and the Roman Republic inspired people in the 1700s. 3 steps forward 2 steps back
This is a great question. It looks like you got a lot of guff on it, and I'm really sorry about that.
Social media is a tough place to lay out a coherent system of anything, never mind a positive future, so I'm going to name some books that show us futures worth living in (1/5)
The most thoughtful and clearest roadmap to a good future is probably in
Earth for All: A Survival Guide for Humanity
by Jayati Ghosh et al.
The best told story of our next chapter is: Ministry for the Future, by Kim Stanley Robinson.
I hope reading these helps. (5/5)
The US becoming a puppet state of Russia and China actually means the end of our military spending, which leads to an unprecedented peace dividend that spurs global economic growth and a new, integrated cultural Renaissance.
Trump has never really cared about anyone but himself.
Now that he's in the ultimate position of power, with no need to concern himself with any re-election, he might not actually enact any of the BS he's promised his followers, which could lead to them turning on him.
Two wars, one nuclear. The Eugenics Wars were in the 90s (then later temporally shifted to the 21st century). This was then followed by nuclear war in World War 3 which was from 2026 to 2053. ~Cmdr. BF
Idk if others would consider this "rosiest", but my thought has always been that, even if shit hits the fan with humanity, nature will still thrive in our absence, which I find weirdly comforting and nice
It would start with Dems winning enough special elections in 2025 to retake the House and all Dem-headed committees go scorched fucking earth on the GOP.
Developments in solar, wind, battery (particularly low cost Sodium-Ion batteries), and possibly fusion technology have knock-on effects across society that raise the standard of living across the world. This undercuts
political extremism and conflict triggering a positive feedback loop.
I'm not sure there is a rosy version, but I am coming to believe that it all has to crash and burn before anything can change for the better. I'm thinking protecting as many as we can from the fallout might be our most practical game plan, and is where I'm looking to put my efforts.
The aliens come out of the ocean and the people who can't handle that go underground and the aliens teach the rest of us how to live in harmony with the planet and we realize the small-ness of this world and get rid of all borders and just become humans of planet earth finally.
But in all seriousness I really think the AI takeover of virtual spaces will force us back into in-person events and experiences. It'll be the only way to verify what you've seen.
That… is theoretically true. Even if you factor in the cult component. However, I feel like most of MAGA is full of “yes men” and fully devoted followers in the cult. I think once the heads start fighting amongst themselves, the followers become disillusioned.
The insurgent fascist forces aren't able to enact their agenda because of their constant infighting, corruption and cliquey bullshit. The institutional liberal/left is taken over by factions actually devoted to the public good. They take over in future election cycles and achieve their policy goals.
We get that Infamous/Prototype crossover game we should have gotten. We have free healthcare and affordable food while making a living wage. I get to experience space travel and see cool planets. And like a bunch of stuff.
He dies before January 20th. cults rarely survive the loss of their leader. even with Vance taking the reins, the fracturing and infighting lead to absolutely nothing they wanted being accomplished, and sanity begins to return in 2026.
This is the best, most plausible, scenario. Personality-free almost-human Vance doesn't have the charisma to keep the cult alive. Plus MAGAts will be thunderstruck if their leader-god dies. How this hadn't happened already is a McDonald's mystery. Smh. 🤔
I liked Kim Stanley Robinson's Ministery for the future, as an 'optimistic' view of the rest of the century.
Feel like you are asking about fascism. One of the virtues of democracy are peacefull transitions, even if trump goes full fascist he's old and too megalomaniac to create a viable successor.
Nation states die off in a long series of wars and disasters, pushing survivors into a need to form new, more functional groupings connected globally and apolitically to avoid extinction.
I don't think you get to "Star Trek" without the wars, because too many people won't learn without suffering.
History is cyclic. Look at our political history since the Kennedy administration. I predict change will occur with the 2026 midterm elections, followed by a Dem victory in 2028, followed by 8 years of prosperity, then another socio-political economic valley.
If we're doing communism we need it to be democratic. It would be an interesting thing to live through. Don't know if it would be *good*, but it would be interesting.
The IRA still exists and the provisions within it are active. Regardless of what the Trump admin does, we're going to continue to invest in green energy because of it.
AI reaches a point where it is able to improve itself and really focus on solving the world's problems. It solves the climate change problem and we live in a post scarcity Star Trek like Utopia where the machines solve our existential threats freeing us up for science, art, and exploration.
I don't know that I have the words to articulate it, but I believe that people will see the value in community and begin to rebuild connections which will dramatically reduce the power of corporate, profit-motivated interests and we will then be able to build a world that more aligns with our needs.
Workers and oppressed peoples organize to deepen democracy and remove all opposition originating from the oppressor class to create the long hard road to socialism and peace.
In the next fifty years, governments all copy what works from each other, and the world rapidly improves. Over the next five hundred years, we rapidly start colonizing the solar system. Over the next five thousand years be begin colonizing nearby star systems.
My rosiest take is related to the idea that we are "the universe experiencing itself", when our ancestors prayed for deliverance, we were born. If all we have to gain in staying alive is each other, that's enough.
Due to upcoming USA tariffs, and protectionists rumblings about Canada... Goods in Canada might finally become cheaper than in the US... So there might be a slightly rosy Canada timeline... It's more likely we fall into grim recession together💖
Best case scenario, Trump's administration becomes more focused on feeding his ego than affecting sweeping changes to our core system of government, Ukraine makes a peace deal and rapidly accedes to NATO before Putin can make any further incursions, and nuclear fusion solves the climate crisis.
(1) trump dies from health complications
(2) massive election conspiracy by maga leadership is uncovered & Harris actually wins
(3) global effort to construct a world model reveals how dire the climate crisis is and forces world to take necessary climate action
In the short term political parties stop trying to maneuver their way to a 51% majority & seek a unifying platform that gets a 75% majority.
If a party aggressively seeks a middle ground, ditches the current primary system that favors extremism, & favors non-partisan ideas that are broadly popular
Can't help but think things are going to get much worse before they get better — my "rosy" hope is that we'll recover with the least possible inequality, the strongest possible democracy, & the least possible suffering to ourselves & the earth, that we can scrape out of the hell of what will remain.
I also read roastiest. Started thinking about climate refugees and mass global destabilization and violence but apparently we’re supposed to be looking to a brighter future
except I’m pretty sure it’s gonna be the flash of a nuclear warhead 🥴
Climate catastrophe forces us, with immediacy, to take stock of what's really important. Nobody cares about stocks, greed or global power anymore. They can't mobilize militaries. Unlike Covid, there's no hope of a return to "normalcy". Everything becomes localized and being humane is the new hotness
America abandons representatives and staffs existing departments with qualified experts in their respective fields. The remaining issues are decided by popular vote, taking all power away from existing parties and putting an end to choosing the “lesser evil.” This would change the world.
That’s some good insight. It would definitely not be as simple as one message makes it seem. True democracy sounds like the best way to fight corruption, however we go about it.
Liberals cut all the tankie content creaters that they've so far welcomed in the democratic party big tent and embrace populist rhetoric while remaining effective in congress, by so becoming faux populists
I have a few pieces of what might be a much better future
1. Computer security is a SOLVED problem, this is true, and has been since the 1980s, we just thought it was "too complicated" back then, and since forgot it. This enables... 1/n
2. Social networking is a SOLVED problem, it's also been true since a snow storm forced Ward Christensen and Randy Suess to put effort into CBBS, and kicked off a better world... 2/n
3. It's only because people forgot about #1 above, that we're in a bad timeline, the Enshittification timeline... it's complicated, but here's how we got there....
Nobody can secure their own computers, because that's equivalent to solving the halting problem... IN THIS TIMELINE 3/n
4. Because nobody can secure their computers, everyone outsources it, not pushing to run their own servers at home, thus there is no pushback against the "Internet Service" model, instead of Internet Connections and our own at home servers. (IN THIS TIMELINE --> ITT) 4/n
5. So, ITT, we all end up in the hands of the walled garden, going from BBSs to AOL to Reddit to Twitter to Here at Bsky to ??? in the future, always running away from Enshittification 5/n
6. At some point (soon I hope, before I age out!) we collectively realize that #1 is true, and reverse course. We all run our own computers, like we run our own toasters, washing machines, lawn mowers... heck our own lives, taking away the outsourcing that drives enshittification ITT 6/n
One legit possibility that people don't talk about: emergent, true AI could come along and be UNQUESTIONABLY BETTER at running things than humans ever were.
We assume it'd want to destroy us, because we're a product of the violence that is biology.
I've always said this. Humans act this way because we have stomachs that regularly get hungry, and can feel things like pain and heat and cold. A being who didn't feel those things would be way more chill.
AGI comes along, but due to "the wall" we're increasingly seeing, it's only as smart as the smartest human in each of their fields. There's no singularity. It can improve its own energy use and speed, but its knowledge is based on human knowledge. We get 100 years of technical advances in 10 years.
If it does replace jobs, we get universal basic income and we all get to do what we like most.
Because we can see how smart it is, we trust it for fact checking news, politicians, etc. And the political climate cools down. Maybe it replaces the Supreme Court, but not humans in the other branches.
Humanity fulfills its evolutionary role by creating autonomous AI. Our species dies out fairly quickly, but its story is preserved by our creation which carries the mantle of scientific exploration and probing the depths of space.
Trump fucks up so hard that we sweep 2026 and 2028, along with a few states not seen as swing states for Senate. Abolish the filibuster, expand the court, and implement the Green New Deal. The only problem with that is the next 4 years will be hell (which they would've been anyway).
A Project 2025 America could paradoxically guarantee Democratic victory for quite a while. Implementing it will be extremely unpopular and rolling it back extremely popular and, much like with the Vietnam War draft, it would leave a brown stain on the GOP for a generation.
It wasn't a landslide. It was actually extremely close once the numbers started coming in. And also they had to distance themselves from P2025 as it was possibly going to cost them the election.
Not by a landslide. In 2020 he got 74+M votes, 2024 he got 76÷M. In 2020 Biden got 81M, Harris got 74M. In 2020 we had a national mail-in ballot due to Covid. Since 2020 30 states have passed restrictive voting laws. The fact 76M will vote for him no matter what is mind numbing, but not a landslide.
Trump voters didn't have the time or skills to read Project 2025; they're too busy trying to survive.
They correctly noticed that the Democratic party is dominated by smart people who think they know better, and they're turned off by that.
That's why they fall for GOP grift. The Democratic Party marginalizes people like Sanders and Nader and tries to keep people like Pelosi in power. This disgusts people so much that they'll literally vote against their own interests.
You only need to listen to Trump voters, especially IRL, and you'll see a lot of them don't read multi-hundred page policy documents.
But if you need to hear it from a leftist, https://youtu.be/O0FydoKTpgo?t=1203

But humans are very, very good at getting better quickly once the finding out starts.
I just hope there's time left.
Ambitious…
Just a “new president.” Which, given how things have been I don’t know we’ve had one of those since Carter. possibly Ike. The rest have been clones
+1 year = plateau of global carbon emissions continues🤞

No point in having high speed rail in 20 years time when you're flooded by refugees from Central America who had to leave.
Humans are bad but we are also reliably good. We need each other.

2025-26 the incoming administrations policies (as was predicted) do further harm to the economy & people at large.
Voter apathy declines & people begin to mobilize
During midterms the GOP/DJT supporting candidates are broadly being voted out.
Regulations & Protections are reestablished.
Because of the prev 4 years we (for whatever reason it ends up being) fall into a 2008 style recession.
The housing & renting bubble bursts.
Far right media tries to blame the new administration
At some point Supreme Court term limits are established.
Abortion finally gets ratified and now fully protected by the constitution.
Further down the line DJT is looked upon as one of the worst presidents in history and the GOP spend years trying (& failing) to distance themselves from his legacy.
There is more I could add to this, but my thread was getting a little long
The civil service holds our institutions and there are free and fair elections in 2 and 4 years.

we finally apologize for Harambe and he frees us from our doom.

Sorry, neither are very rosy.
