American tariffs, geopolitical tensions, and policy uncertainties will lead to a subdued world economy. Global trade will persist but grow more complex, fragmented by tariffs, regional blocs, and supply chain disruptions. New trade routes will start.
US economic growth could accelerate beyond expectations, driven by policy support and capital expenditures, though risks from tariffs loom.
AI infrastructure spending may reveal underlying economic weaknesses, with questions arising about whether the AI bubble will burst amid the rampant large investments.
There could be a decline in overall time spent on the internet (excluding LLM usage), as AI reshapes jobs and daily interactions, potentially reducing traditional online engagement. RN will purr along as normal.
Advancements in space warfare capabilities, superhuman sports enhancements, Agentic and Multi-Agent AI, humanoid robotics, Quantum Computing and other emerging fields may redefine competition and security.
The decaying geopolitical status quo, economic stagnation concerns, and battles over narratives like America's 250th anniversary will intensify.
Geopolitics will become clearer, with the decay of the old global order leading to new alliances and conflicts, particularly in areas like trade and security.
The EU & NATO will begin to dissolve.
The Russian/Ukraine war may end, but the war within Ukraine will not. Much chaos and a civil war may erupt by the ultranationalists which could spread into EU countries. Similar parallels to Spartans and Athenians. Western media will launch an epic AI psyop campaign of escalated propaganda that will rival B-52 carpet bombing.
Europe (EU polarization) will continue to sink into the abyss. PR machine goes into overdrive on greater fantasies of going to war with Russia.
Proposal/petition by AfD to split Germany, again.
Political violence & assassinations increase. Random violence in the USA will increase.
China will continue to rise in economic power & influence, unless the USA gets their act together.
The Greater Israel Project will expand and grow more powerful in the ME.
Iran will be bombed again.
Support for Israel collapses; explosion of AI psyops.
US will attack/coup d'état Venezuela. Maduro flees to Moscow on a Russian military plane.
UFO mania reaches ludicrous levels of insanity. UFO community splits into factions and declares war on each other totally forgetting the gov't is the enemy. (It's already started)

Overall, a continuation of the same chaos but escalated.
"War is a way of shattering to pieces, or pouring into the stratosphere, or sinking in the depths of the sea, materials which might otherwise be used to make the masses too comfortable, and hence, in the long run, too intelligent."
— George Orwell
"Imagination is the only weapon in the war against reality."
― Lewis Carroll
“Ironically enough, the only people who can hold up indefinitely under the stress of modern war are psychotics. Individual insanity is immune to the consequences of collective insanity.”
― Aldous Huxley, Brave New World Revisited
Far out predictions:
2026, the year everything breaks—or breaks through.
AI and Tech Takeover: AI agents fully hijack customer service, Neuralink causes "brain diarrhea" viral texts, AR glasses kill phones leading to zombie-like pedestrians, humanoid robots strike for better conditions, deepfakes make politicians deny scandals as "digital twins", AGI arrives but debates pineapple on pizza, gadgets pump smells (new car smell subscriptions boom), robotaxis cite "emotional distress," AI ghosts 90% of the web, and "dumb phones" become luxury items.
Great Awakening with floods, earthquakes, civil unrest reaching Mad Max levels in some regions, peaking in June.
