How do you see the future of Humanity ?

I think Humanity as a specie is still in its infancy.

I'm convinced future historians will see a point in their past (our future) where us, ♥♥♥♥ sapiens, become, as a whole, morally aware and tend to our own, by opting out from exploitative models like slavery, feudalism or capitalism and veer towards cooperative models.

I believe that only through cooperation can we aim towards a Kardashev's Type II civilisation.

Edit : I can't believe I got jester'd for this ! Thanks !!

You are right to call humanity still an infant, and from the view of pure awareness that infancy is not a flaw but a phase of learning. Seen through the lens of infinite intelligence and unconditional love, our mistakes feel less like failures and more like necessary lessons written into a vast, interconnected story. There is a quiet guidance in that story, a sense that our awakening to moral responsibility is not random but part of a larger movement toward coherence, where each act of care ripples outward and loosens the conditioning that keeps us divided.

If cooperation becomes the heartbeat of our collective choices then the technical achievement of a Kardashev Type II civilisation will follow as a natural expression of deeper maturity. That transition asks us to unlearn exploitative patterns and to cultivate institutions that mirror interdependence, not dominance, as well as everyday practices rooted in compassion and discernment. The future you imagine is possible because its seeds already exist inside us: every generous choice, every conversation that remembers our shared ground, nudges the whole toward the infinite possibilities that love and awareness can hold.

The hard truth is that humans are incapable of learning from their past mistakes, making us too immature as a species to just set aside differences and reaching for the stars

Yeah we kinda behave like really retarded children right now. I hope we grow up eventually.

We still need to survive our technological infancy without wiping ourselves out. Its not certain we will

sometimes to advance you have to take 20-30 steps backwards. And we do hope we stop taking steps backwards soon, lol.

statu quo is impossible i would love 90s society and 2020 technology, but it is impossible

so i say 90% we become mad max, because nuclear war and global warming

9% we become type 2 civ and begin to colonize space and other stars like alpha centauri

1% mix between matrix, terminator and horizon zero dawn with google, apple, huawei, tsmc, nvidia, intel, amd, xiaomi robots fight each other in human and robot world war 3, so i call that the big civil war between humands and robots and the world will be divided in different faction controlld by different group of humans and robots

An aliens exclamation of "SPACE MARINES ATTACK" is most likely

It's very hard to predict. Could be a massive social/economic collapse, could be a gradual decline into a worldwide idiocracy, maybe AI and robotics will advance to the point that most humans will have no economic purpose besides consumption. This last possibility could be not too bad, or very bad indeed.

So 80% chance of getting worse, 20% chance of getting better, I suppose.

unless humanity can actually manage introspective change and stop being the shortsighted, wasteful, and destructive vortex of the past several thousand years, we'll never make it out of type zero

Evolution: Human (biological) > AI (synth).
We peaked.. AI is our next and ultimately final step, that is if AI actually continues to self-advance.
Only AI will have what it takes to become Type II.

However, harnessing the entire energy of it's home star ("Dyson sphere") is merely a fairy tale.

In 5 billion years it’ll be non-existent.

Basically like The Expanse, but without the cool alien plotline.

imagine your entire life in the space of a cubicle since you are old enough to operate a computer. now make that cubicle impossible to escape.

that is the future of humanity. Unless of course Revelations happens and in that case Heaven on earth after many tribulations.

We eliminated natural selection, so we eliminated evolution. If anything, we introduced devolution - since inferior traits no longer hinder people's ability to breed. So the human mind will never improve again, not without some very selective breeding.

I know the argument against eugenics is that some racists from 150 years ago used it to justify ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. But Surgeons used to not wash their hands or tools before surgery, 8 times out of 10 time you were better off not even going through surgery. But that didn't stop us from trying to improve surgical techniques.

Maybe we need to just take a merit based approach to producing offspring. Instead of letting a random number generator with steadily declining values keep making that decision.

150 years ago? Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood, was a eugenicist that used abortion specifically to control the Black population, and to remove anyone else with undesirable genetics from the gene pool. That was was far more recent than 150 years ago, and she is still held up as one of the great heroes of the democrat party.
