My opinion of the future is very bleak. No long lasting future for humankind I'm afraid. Few hundred years, perhaps even thousand if we're "lucky" but that is just a glimpse in the time of the earth.
Why humans are doomed? Because of envy and greed. There are too many people who want more, always more and too many people who want to be in power and who have the need to rule and control other people. Humankind will die to wars, pollution and the fact that we are making the world unlivable for humans. But before all humans perish, there will be even bigger difference between the rich and the poor. Middle class will vanish and the few rich will be richer than ever as the many poor will be poorer than now. Sci-fi literature and movies/tv-series have predicted this and to be honest, it's not even very hard to foresee.
The next generation and the next after that will probably continue living like we do, just more drought, bigger storms, wars and fewer natural resources, but because of the inevitable situation that the climate will be warmer every year and the fact that that has several drastic consequences, everything will be harder for those who right now get by okay and super hard for the poor. The rich won't suffer. Not until the very end when money doesn't buy them better life anymore.
So there's my nice and happy and sunny thoughts. 😁
< Why humans are doomed? Because of envy and greed.
Yes.
Happening already.
I agree with you on all you say. I'd like to think more positively about the future but things are out of control. That doesn't mean my life is bleak, lifeless and negative, it actually means the total opposite of that, I have an amazing life, but in the future...well, that's not going to be the case for the majority.
Sad but true.
