Na, the diseases will kill people off before most of the violence :wink:

On a more cheerful note I'm more looking forward to the future, will be really interesting to see where we get to technologically and as a race, ie psychologically, ethically etc. There's a word that fits really well to describe that but I can't think of it.

I think there's a significant chance that humanity will cause incredible destruction to itself in the next 100 years. I try not to dwell on it too much though.

If you want a film to be scared about watch Battle Royale, it is The Hunger Games on steroids.

People laugh at me when I say this. I don't get what they can't comprehend about AI..? It is a very real possibility.

I doubt AI will advance that far in this lifetime, though technology does advance super quick so I guess it's possible

Just point out to those people 2 decades ago there was no self driving cars, tablets, phones and robotic factories

Are you scared of my future, being the first emperor of the Western hemisphere? Wherein I'll impose my ideology of hedonism and debauchery and all things saucy?
