History teaches us that in 100 years from now [[Openness|some of the assumptions we believed will turn out to be wrong]]. A good question to ask is "What might we be wrong about today?". These are a few things that future humans might see as weird behavior:
- Eat animals.
- Drive manually.
- Give birth without advanced assistance.
- Not caring for all the animal suffering in the wild.
- Nature is not safe! The default is suffering. The current mentality is that nature is good and disruptions from nature are bad.
- The ignorance of Social Media and its full impact on s_o_ciety.
- Is "being bad for society" an emergent property of social networks as they grow?
- Current Voting Systems.
- Not relying more into tools like Prediction Markets.
- More experimentation around [[Politics|governance]]:
- Charter cities.
- Holacracy.
- [[Decentralized Autonomous Organizations|Cooperatives/DAOs]].
- Cities are friendly to humans & wildlife, not cars.
- More experimentation around [[Learning]] and education (e.g: teaching game theory as a subject in the modern curriculum)
- More people aware of the trick our mind does to us (Mind Field and The Story Of Us) as well as how diverse humans are.
- More interactive explanations like the ones the awesome Nicky Case do!
- More concern around systems with weird incentives causing large amount of pain (Moloch).
- Work valuation changes (plumbing more expensive than some software development) due to Moravec's paradox. We will automate making a full app before a robot is able to master physical arms and legs like a 5 year old.
- Open data will be more important as they can produce better models and help coordinate people providing shared context.
- The current decentralized protocols (IPFS, ActivityPub, ...) need to evolve more. Specially around UX. People don't care about decentralization, they care about UX.
