Politics - it shows that people will never ever agree on some things. This isn't even touching on religious zeal, which affects most of the popular religions, leading to terrorist attacks, both domestically and abroad. TBH, I've never been very optimistic and but that also means I don't take things for granted.

And yeah, resource scarcity will inevitably force hostile situations. Of all people, I would think Starcraft players would understand the macro game of resource management and the lengths nations will go to protect or acquire additional resources.
With no power comes no responsibility?

At the risk of sounding like a negative nancy, you would have to be a fool to be optimistic about the future. With all of our tech, we still have no solution to the energy problems we face. Of course we will suck the planet dry of all natural resources. Basically the businessmen won't listen to the engineers and scientists until it's too late. The Earth is already beyond its means of supporting humans yet the population continues to grow exponentially, it has tripled in the last 50 years. The ocean is full of plastic and I don't think anyone will ever find it "profitable" to clean it up, so it will never happen. 99% of all plastic that has ever been manufactured is in the ground somewhere or in the ocean; we are only adding to it. Rain forests are being depleted. There is little more available land for agriculture, and the demand for food continues to rise. Clean water is becoming more and more scarce. The oceans are over-fished. Global economic problems, fucking all kinds of natural disasters recently that seem to be indicative of an increase in severity of climates. Global warming, again no solution in sight. Basically odds are your grandchildren's lives are going to be much worse than yours, so enjoy while it lasts...

you negative nancy.

It doesn't have to be a nuclear war to be a world war. You can do plenty of damage with regular explosive bombs.

The thing is though, total war will inevitably lead to nuclear war regardless of the promises both sides might make (assuming both sides possess nuclear weapons, a fairly safe assumption IMO) at the beginning because when you're country is losing the war and facing total defeat you're just gonna be like "fuck it, why not?" and launch your entire arsenal.

THE FUTURE

I walk across the bridge to class
one lovely day in May.
Enthralled in Summer's sights and sounds,
I somehow lose my way.

And when I find myself again
it seems like years have passed.
The world around me seems so strange
with wonders great and vast.

I walk precisely on a street
Now paved in platinum.
I ogle at this perfect place
My world had just become.

Then right above me with their skyboots
many children sail.
They smile as they lift me up
and tell their wondrous tale.

'A motherlode, some folks had found
While mining on the moon,
Has made resources plentiful
As sand grains in a dune.

With energy renewable as
raindrops in the sea,
our riches now have ended all
the woes of poverty.

And with this newfound wealth we fought
to fix the atmosphere.
We built a giant filter
And the skies were ever clear.

We saved the global habitat
And ended all disease
And war as well; now human beings
Can mingle as they please!

And children everywhere can be
Whatever they so choose.
With education lighting up
"Imagination's fuse."' <-- sorry for people who don't like dickinson

After flying to and fro
and showing me around,
they bid farewell and fly away
as I wave on the ground.

But as I start to feel at home
in this temporal rift,
My eyes become quite heavy
And my mind begins to drift.

And coming to, I lift my head
And stare up from the ground.
Around me I can only find
Familiar sight and sound.

A little sad, I think aloud,
now in the present date:
"This trip may well have ended but
that future... I'll create!"
"I'm learning more and more that TL isn't the place to go for advice outside of anything you need in college. It's like you guys just make up your own fantasy world shit and post it as if you've done it." - Chill
