What do you think the biggest challenges and opportunities facing humanity in the next 50 years will be?

[LustSpell]

Misinformation on the internet and the ability to not counter it

[visions]

Ourselves, as always. All the major issues (environmental, war etc.) could be resolved if humans weren’t such evil f***ing idiots. 

[GraceRandolph]

Biggest Challenge: Climate Change
 

Opportunity: Curtailing the US military and ending animal agriculture

[Devin]

• poverty
• climate change
• misinformation
• food and water
• gov/legal corruption
• inequality/discrimination

[Big Bad Wolf]

Corrupt government, people are still gullible

Food resources, this will become more of a problem as time goes on

Climate change, inevitable and will have devastating consequences

Technology and social media, will continue to be an issue as it goes ungoverned. It's a circus. People need an overhaul. I'm not saying communism is the answer, but....

Biggest Challenge: other humans

Biggest Opportunity: other humans

[Edit0rz]

Globally: Climate change and the on-coming food crisis.

USA: Corporate monopolies and Christian conservatives.

 

opportunities: Acceleration - theory that technology will advance to a point that it will advance civilization past the need of resource scarcity.

Neoliberals of every country worldwide.

 

They believe in more state sponsored propaganda and lies than conservatives do. It's sick.

 

They continously vote in trash and accept policies that keep taking more of our freedoms away. Then they blame all of the problems they create on other people. Then have the audacity to repeat lies propagated to them by politicans and say the reason the way things have to happen the way they are happening is because of conservatives & their potential religious authoritarianism. While they themselves perpetuate more state sponsored censorship & destruction of civil liberties than republicans only wish they could get away with.

People like this kind of user are one of the biggest challenges humans need to overcome in the next 10 years.

 

Opportunities: Space travel and colonization should be the main focus. But we're too busy fighting each other and being racist.

People acting like teachers and healthcare providers are spawns of Satan. 

 

When people realize universal healthcare and education are absolutely essential for a properly-ran society, we'll start to see less hatred and people getting better at regulating their emotions.
