Next 5 years: Interest rates rise; Canada sees its own Trump-lite populist movement as commodity prices and incomes stay depressed; Trump resigns, citing health reasons; European politics in turmoil as anti-immigration sentiment increases.
20 years: Universal income adopted in many Western countries; depression among seniors becomes widespread, leading to socially-sanctioned elderly suicide; democracy transformed by voter algorithms and direct democracy; Crisper-enabled gene splicing becomes commercialised; virtually reality improves to the level where many people spend almost all of their time in it.
50 years: Nanotechnology ushers in a post-scarcity world.
