I would argue we’ve already got the “semi” part in the present, with the full dystopia on the way

Not sure what you mean, we only have growing inequalities, fascism on the rise, mass media being extremely polarised, mega corporation basically running the world, a climate catastrophe in progress, a mass extinction and a plastic problem, mass surveillance being rolled out everywhere and at least one genocide running its course.

How much more dystopian can it get ?

Oh yeah, a lot more, somehow (ai face recognition, water and food shortages, extreme weather patterns, killer drones, etc.)

Collapse

Create post

This is the place for discussing the potential collapse of modern civilization and the environment.

Collapse, in this context, refers to the significant loss of an established level or complexity towards a much simpler state. It can occur differently within many areas, orderly or chaotically, and be willing or unwilling. It does not necessarily imply human extinction or a singular, global event. Although, the longer the duration, the more it resembles a ‘decline’ instead of collapse.

RULES

1 - Remember the human

2 - Link posts should come from a reputable source

3 - All opinions are allowed but discussion must be in good faith.

4 - No low effort, high volume and low relevance posts.
