The Force is Strong With This One
I wonder what the next chapter of human reality would be if not destruction and not 4th density. Even if chapters like antiquity, the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, the Enlightenment, and modern times (generally speaking) are illusions. Reflecting on this, I've come to the conclusion that we live in a time technologically driven by the refinement of inventions that existed much earlier: for example, the printing press, the engine, the train, the automobile, the airplane, electricity, the telegraph, the telephone, radio, television, and finally, the computer, the cell phone, and the internet. These are essentially continuous refinements of things from fifty, a hundred, or more years ago. Of course, they influence the lives of everyone; for example, today, the average person has access to things that were previously only within the reach of the wealthiest. Everyday experiences are what we see in American movies, whether ordinary or even science fiction. When I look back at predictions from the 1980s or 1950s, many things have come true. Perhaps no one predicted only the mass internet with such possibilities: social media and a computer on a cell phone universally accessible to everyone. Everything revolves around technocracy, perhaps Bitcoin, and information manipulated by advertising and artificial intelligence (so-called algorithm scripts). Of course, before that, we lived largely in the Oz of mass media. So this technologicalization has its continuum. That's why I think that so far the game changer that has changed everything after, say, the 80s (I'm leaving aside wars and economic crises and talking about realized potential) is Web 2.0. Everyone talks about AI, but so far it's essentially just a modification of how people use internet search engines and a more automatic implication of knowledge in a copy-and-paste format. That would be the simplest answer, considering how computer and network use will change, or how our perception of reality or the social axis will change: through AI or through cryptocurrency. It's a compelling topic. But perhaps there's something no one expected: no vision of the 2000s actually depicted the cell phone in the strict sense or social and even individual relationships being based on a global digital network. So perhaps there's something else we haven't thought of, something that in 20-50 years (assuming an optimistic sequence of events, at least for a significant portion of the population) will turn out to be a new reality. It would be nice to hear at least some guidance for such futurological assumptions, because although the future is called open, we know well that sometimes it isn't. Of course, you can refer me to various books trying to predict the sequence of events, but I assume that in this logical consideration based on the past and further predictions, we can ignore something even existing or overestimate other things, etc. So there could be a missing factor making them pointless. Shortly, what could be the next theme of the human world, what new things will appear that change our lives? (W8 and C, right?)
I'm revising for my end of term exams these days, trying to consolidate all I've learned in my 50 years on this planet. The only problem is that we don't exactly know when the exams are gonna be, but it pays to be prepared in any case!
