So where in your predictions do you take into account the impending financial collapse in the global economy, the ongoing proxy war, and the climate catastrophes also well documented to be on their way once the tipping points are tipped?
Both the war and climate issues like drought and heatwaves are going to cause widespread famine and mass migrations in the next few years.
How does society continue in these scenarios when supply chains break?

Sorry this just looks like a xmas wish list that doesn't take into account any real world variables.

I had similar thoughts. The future will be a mix out of post-apocalyptic and things which look now like scifi. However, we probably won't have widespread famines in the developed world that fast. Same for a global breakdown. I also don't believe in a complete breakdown of supply chains and end of shipping. Shipping and using a global economy is energy efficient per ton. It might end, when we have more automatization in the developed world or low wage refugees, or both.

There will be pockets of technological progress. The people working on self-driving at Tesla are only 150 engineers.

Tipping points being reached doesn't mean the bad things happen directly after that point, only that it is to late to reverse it, either with current knowledge and technology or in definitely.

Global mass migrations are also just lefty propaganda. You can't have lack of food and people wandering around for hundreds of miles. It's not possible. Same for the openess of target countries. Also, it probably wouldn't matter, only create more inequality and a bigger market for surveillance and weapons.

Agreed odd climate change wasnt taken into account

Unless you think climite change is going to collapse society in less than 25 years then we will get there before climite collapse.

Get there where try it be specific.

It’s realistic to take all variables into account im not implying society will collapse but a broad perspective can further be beneficial in achieving what we all want
