Yea, no one gets out of this "life" deal alive.

Im not sure what the future holds for society as a whole all I can be sure of is what I can do today to strengthen bonds with folks that may have my back tomorrow. My family is the one I created
-
If we manage to avoid building an AI that kills us all? Yeah, probably...
-
Not an easy question...
-
Nobody can tell the future - Alarmingly high amounts of LSD like to make us think we can, but we can't.
Whatever happens, will happen.
-
Whatever happens is meant to be. In the end I believe good will prevail over evil.
-
Yes. Stop worrying, jeez.
-
Within our lifetime, I think everything will be OK :)

You really have to define what is meant by "society". There is the global society and the various micro-societies. As other posters have said it is difficult to predict the global society at large. Best bet is to attempt to safeguard yourself against most contingencies. However, needless worry is not a rational preparation. Short of nuclear annihilation some individuals will always survive and might even flourish
-
This question is too ambiguous. What is "ok"? And furthermore, which society? Are you asking about humans in general all over the world, or one specific country, or one specific interest group?
And okay when? Tomorrow? A billion years from now?
Too many unset parameters...
Maybe the simple way to answer is just tell you yes. Everything is going to be ok. -hug- Does that put your mind at ease at all?
-
I think it will be okay
-
Things have a tendency to work themselves out in the end.
-
Technological Singularity.
-
Do you foresee a friendly useless explosion or the destructive overthrown of human dominion?
-
Sorry meant useful not useless.
-
I foresee... My pipe getting lit.

Things have a tendency to work themselves out in the end.
Considering linear time has no proper end..
and if it did there's no telling it would "work things out" for the inhabitants of this particular planet..

I've been thinking heavily about capitalism and the collapse and all that is wrapped up in this scourge we've let loose upon the earth. Colonialization is still happening, and companies are getting bolder as they collude more closely with governments to step in and take over whenever they please.
I'd look up "the shock doctrine" if you're interested in having your heart ripped out of your chest, but after that you can get started picking up the pieces. I read recently on reddit that it's not going to be a revolution that wins out in the end, but an evolution. I believe in that idea. I think that there are already several factors working within society toward this end, and I believe that I can think of more. It is my ultimate goal to write out my thoughts, theories, and observations much in the way that Marx did. I am not a Marxist but I do believe in his methods:
KNOW the world.
CRITIQUE the world.
CHANGE the world.
I think that it is important to ensure channels where the citizens have access to information and knowledge, equality of power, and enhanced sense of community. I think that will empower and protect the people while we work to change the system and change the mindset of those who are running us into the ground with their toxic mindsets.

In the long arc of history, things are getting better in many ways.
-
When has everything been OK ever?
-
Given an infinite amount of time, the universe will end and therefore chaos is inevitable.
-
i tought you where talking about this society(SR) I hope it will survive to the end of time at least..
-
If we correct the path, there's time, I think we'll manage. But if we don't it's gonna be bad, real bad...
-
Nope, were fucked.
-
no were all fucked
-
Copy that!
-
We're all fucking Doomed (lol)
-
I agree with many that the question is vague......in general terms it will probably be ok for some but not for others..
-
Whatever happens is meant to be. In the end I believe good will prevail over evil.
i believe this is true. i think a great war will erupt and wipe out a high percentage of the population, afterwards i believe everybody will be at peace and be smart about how we use the planets resources so the horrible events of human history never happen again.
-
Each day just keeps getting better
-
change for the better. yesterday we had slaves...things are lookin up.
-
Define OK.
-
change for the better. yesterday we had slaves...things are lookin up.
Educate yourself, we still have slavery today.
-
We will be okay however the world will someday end.
If people are around then, they will NOT be okay.

we're fucked

My favorite Neil Degrasse Tyson clip is below, when he explains how human beings are 1% different from chimpanzees. From what I've read, chimps are stuck in the jungle, killing each others babies, being hunted as food by humans, and slowly losing more and more of their environment, whereas we can send spaceships to Mars and beyond the solar system, speak high level physics and math, watch television, can destroy the planet if we wanted to, and more or less cooperate with one another (you'd let another human, even a stranger, hold your baby, and generally you'd expect that stranger wouldn't dash your baby's brains out first chance). Then Neil blows my mind when he says if all that is due to a 1% or 2% difference between chimpanzees and humans, what can aliens do?

active nihilism - neitzche

true organized religion is not the answer just another conception of man
-
we're the universe becoming conscious of itself, i kind of have faith in it. but not having any real answers is irritating, like what are we even doing here? is this all there is, why isn't it more? mindfuck
humanity has a long way to go. but i think it's evolving slowly, so much potential for good it's amazing...
-
I think it will be okay
-
I wanna know if puppies and kittens will be okay. Fuck everything else.
-
Really? No one has anything to say about puppies and kittens? WTF?
-
I hope everything will stay as it is. I'm planning to invest into a vendor account it would be fucked
to see my money to up the air.
