put it back in your pants, sicko

fwiw, I was reading on my phone and I couldn't see the dot. WTF though? Couldn't find a better picture of the earth than that?

Looking at the upper range of the 25/50 years, I'll be dead so the world will have to be a better place as a result right?

You mean cause you'll have lived such an awesome life up until then?

1). standard of living will be much higher, people will live much longer. Apart from those who would have been very very poor they will be no happier.

2). Chinese

The point; you missed it

#2 only happens if we let liberals and apologists flush us down the toilet....... well to be fair conservatives who are crappy at occupations.. too

Heres another interesting rendition of the next 25-50 by the matrix people:

1
2

I guess I did?

What would be the point of showing the earth from afar, for example, in the way you suggested?

well it is politics I suppose ...

It will be chinese one way or another.

If its its in the hands of the liberals, ACers and the otherwise intelligent then the USA (ditto for Europe) will thrive.

If its in the hands of people whio use the word 'apologist' to describe such people then the USA (Europe ditto) will get destroyed.

FYP

That asteroid video is an amazing visual. Can you imagine everything just being erased like that?

The internet will look like this

In the next 0-15 years there will be a currency crisis meaning high inflation. Currency is just paper money and most of the politicans will do all the wrong actions to protect themselves. When the new currency is created we will have basically have what Argentina has today. This currency will also fail. Some areas of the USA will use gold and bitcoin or trade in old money. The government and world will have no choice but to go back to a silver backed currency or balanced budget amendment. SS trust fund will still be intact and the savior to many that have lost their life savings. A young guy trained by Ron Paul teachings will be elected and save the United States. When that happens the wealth of the people, the middle class will re-grow fast.

sick bump

the 2nd part would happen if the us suddenly becomes smart. What WILL happen is , some communist regime will come to power and **** everything up even further. Or at least some regime that is capable of ****ing up even further.

This thread should have stayed dormant for another 22/47 years.

meh. Planet still in habitable zone. Gravity keeps the water from going anywhere. Amino Acids. Prolly only about 200-300 years before complexity returns, then another 50,000 for competition to really get going again.

Nobody has any idea. If you want to understand why, go find some predictions people were making 20 years ago about what the world would look like today.
