I have an exciting investment opportunity for anyone that thinks this picture is going to be the future. Climate change is further fueling instability politically, as plutocracy has rotted our liberal democracies to the point of fascists permanently seizing control and fixing elections.
Which is to say nothing of systematic pollution on a thousand other fronts, insect populations down 90 percent in the last 30 years, sperm counts crashed, frogs crashed. Those are indicative of systematic pollution, effecting us, affecting our behavior, and I think affecting our trust and fear centers in our brains, making us more docile I would bet in at least one of these systematic toxins.
The political collapse into fascism is accompanied by computers able to record everything everyone ever said or did and making social scores, with peter thiel's palantir deciding social scores to determine winners and losers, secretly promulgated to business and government to affect everything about how you are treated with no way of you knowing let alone challenging it. With authorities able to slip people they don't like into the bad score territory. And half baked metrics and assumptions and bad information to begin with.
We could go on, but we are on the cusp of a multi level collapse. Our fascist one party state will max out borrowing, ruin trust, then start dispossessing people and companies when the economy crashes.
Their oligarch allies will one by one fall and be replaced, which is a small consolation for us to know the ones pushing this new government will themselves fall to it, or their kids at least as half of them are like 80.
