The Future

 It isn't that I see a dystopian future of one kind or another even though if you went to many countries on earth (including some places in the U.S. the argument could be made that billions of people are already living in a dystopian future and only those wealthy enough to eat regularly are living lives that can be thought of as non-dystopian even now.

For example, it is estimated that at least 250 million people starved to death in the last 12 months here on earth which is about 100 million more than in most years.

What is the cause of this?

The argument could be made that disruption of food supply chains and other economic disruptions caused these EXTRA 100 million deaths in the last year.

So, you have to add at least 100 million deaths to the coronavirus deaths to make sense of what happened on earth during the last 12 to 16 months here on earth.

And how many of these 100 million people died of both Starvation and Coronavirus at the same time.

It likely will never be known because these 100 million people are unlikely to have been tested for Covid  or even seen by a doctor or a nurse before they died in the first place.

In the future some humans survive.

My thought is that about 1 billion or less humans will still be alive in 2100 AD.

I'm happy if even this many people can survive on into the next century by the way because the alternative is no one survives at all.

What kills all these people (the 7 billion less than now)?

I would say it like this: pandemics and global climate change kills them.

But, like I said is that the good news is that likely we aren't going extinct any time soon.
