I'm scared that we won't collectively realise we need to fairly rapidly shift society to be a much more socialist economy in time to prevent all of the problems that come with there being vast swathes of people without jobs or any prospect of ever getting one. How things are currently set up, this goes very badly for basically everyone.
The end of all time
As the climate collapse becomes more dramatic, the risk of a human population (and thus a societal) collapse within the next 200 years is well above 90%. But, on the positive side, if we really put in effort, we can at least reduce human suffering a little. And, an additional small comfort: life on Earth will continue, with or without Homo sapiens, and it will be as beautiful as ever. Sources:
