Permanent mass unemployment due to automation.

But someone has to manage the automation, create new processes for automations, and secure automations from cyber threats. Not enough smart people in the world to do automation on a mass scale.

The more AI advances, the less human brainpower will be needed. You'll still need some, but I agree automation is going to continue to chew away at the working, then middle class. At some point universal basic income will be needed. Unless we blow ourselves up first…

Russia will nuke us. One tv person from over there said "We all die someday." It looks like we just have to wait. No need to fight SI

Techno narcissist fantasies about human progress will continue to burst

Ray kurzweil will die if he isn't dead already

Probably about a quarter to a third of countries will be failed states

The South African Rand will go to zero if it didn't already

Top countries still USA and China

Hype about india as a major power will burst as it gets wrecked by climate

Idiocracy continues as more of the smarts opt out of reproduction whether by choice or due to financial stress of supporting the dumbs via taxation

Real estate in major coastal mega cities will start to plunge and people will start doing more "back to the land"

People increasingly ignore authorities of all kinds , social cohesion erodes globally

Coal, oil, and gas go nowhere and are still a major part of the world energy system if it's even still functional

Birth rates fall faster than anyone expected (good evidence this is already happening )

Nothing like the farce concept of "net zero" will occur during this decade and very unlikely to happen thereafter

Commodity prices will remain elevated

Race will start to be much less of a deal in the USA with one caveat I could see hostility to Chinese immigration which was not a part of the lived experience for those of us born in the 90s, no one really cared about China then during the Pax Americana times. In europe racial issues could get much worse given the Islamic component of migration which tends to be very destabilizing.

We will see several typhoons in this decade that put Katrina or harvey to shame in terms of economic damage

Increasing LGBT acceptance globally except in Middle East , Middle East is going to keep being the shithole it always has been for very simple reasons including foreign interference

Aliens won't be found or find us

Traditional family continues to erode because the millennial age group can't afford to start them and also more of them are waking up to the fact it's not the best idea 💡

We may see the total implosion of the Philippines as a functioning country and unified political entity

Japan will be forced to open its doors to migrant hordes and its location as one of the few tolerable countries to live will end gradually

There will be many more "Edward snowdens" and not just from the US

US may invade Venezuela for oil but staging a pretext for this will be very rough

Canadian tar sands still in production

US may consider going after the oil shale out west given the market price

Fantasies about "inclusive globalization" will not be realized. It will still be a global apartheid system where the rich go and do whatever they want while the global poor are trafficked and exploited across borders

Cancer won't be cured

There will be a lot of last laughs had in this decade by the preppers , maybe not in the context of a global implosion but locally many preppers will be having "I told you so" moments

Christianity will go virtually extinct in Europe
