One hundred years from now, things might not be so bad. It's during the time between now and then that will be terrible.

Fossil fuel depletion will reduce agricultural output to 20% of what it is now, perhaps less. Food aid to the third world will cease (I hope), but there still won't be enough for us here. People will starve to death.

Even before the reduction in the supply of farm goods, the transportation of those goods will break down. Truckers already find it difficult (or impossible) to pay all the costs of fuel, maintenance, and taxes. The rising cost of fuel will cause them, at some point, to abandon their teamster careers en masse. Goods will stay on the farm, or wherever they originate, and won't be transported to the grocery, to the supermarket, or to the department stores.

The government will send troops to do the transporting, but the goods won't be distributed to the same places as before. When government take over anything, there are long lines and massive amounts of paperwork, and meddlesome, overpaid bureaucrats who like to say "no" to people, just to prove that they can.

With government control comes, also, political favoritism, which means that some people will get preferential access to the goods... and lower prices, which will be made up for when the disfavored people are permitted, later, to browse the favored people's leavings which now have higher prices on the price tags.

Countries that have become racially mixed will be violently partitioned through racial wars, with the extermination or deportation of the weakest side in the struggle. In other words, the multiculturalized part of the First World will become thoroughly Balkanized. Sometime during the next 100 years, the USA will be split into several different racial nations, each with definite (if disputed) territorial borders.

Once all the starving and the fighting is over, though, things might settle down with the survivors making good lives for themselves. Will people be "wiser" for having gone through those terrible times? I doubt it. People collectively, as a rule, never learn anything that doesn't involve a "clear and present danger" to themselves. Some people will be wiser, but not many.

The way things are going with the nuclear race among nations, there may not even be a next decade, if some nut decides to push the button.

100 years form now, it would be very exciting, there would be no wars, cars would fly, we'd be visiting other planets like how we fly to New York. You would be able to replace any and every part of your body. It would be a more peaceful place. Robotics and electronics will rule.

Everyone thinks the world changes so much. Kids will be listening to even worse music, cars will be even more rounded, and gas will be balls expensive. But otherwise, people don't really change that much.

cutting-edge society needs to seem to aboriginal cultures. they have saved traditions alive of hassle-free techniques to stay off the land, and the thanks to evolve. they are going to be the in consumer-friendly words ones that may save us even as all of it is going to hell. societies cave in each of the time, it truly is been shown repeatedly. "the bigger they're, the harder they fall". tribalism is the most sustainable political and cultural device, as shown by way of tribal societies that *nonetheless* exist regardless of cutting-edge impression, and their consistent life over thousands of years, consisting of over sessions of serious climate change, alongside with ice a lengthy time period.

I agree with Chris. It does'nt look good. And it's highly unlikely I'll be here to care.
