I tend to think in terms of "What is actually going to happen?" partly because I'm a consumate survivor who comes from Consumate survivors on my father's side who came here for religious freedom to Philadelphia like many others in the early 1700s from Europe. It was much easier to be a protestant in the U.S. then than places like Switzerland (where my ancestors came from the Zurich area) and places like Austria and Italy and likely Spain to then in the early 1700s.
So, many people came to places like Philadelphia from especially Europe then to have religious freedom here in the U.S. as Protestants.
However, I need to stay on track with the title of this article.
My Wife is a very positive person always with a very bright outlook. However, I don't do disappointment well myself so I try to prepare for literally any eventuality like my forebears always did. So, I basically prepare for anything so I and my wife and family can survive whatever comes. And so far we have here in the U.S. since the early 1700s on my father's side.
I was telling her that I foresaw the population of the world goes down to 1 billion people by 2100 AD and she wasn't having that (which is likely a good thing). And so it got me thinking of the feasibility of everyone alive now living to 2100AD if they wanted to.
And I realized that this IS theoretically (at least) possible.
So, I began technologically thinking how this could be accomplished and today I found a theoretical scientific answer to this conundrum.
The way it could be done is through AI and robotics by interfacing humans and technology in a good way not in a bad way.
For example, I have two teeth implants that are titanium in my body already and my wife has 4 joint replacements in both her knees and both her hips already. 20 to 30 years ago all this for her might not have been possible and the technology for these things gets better and better so she doesn't have to be in a wheelchair or crutches the rest of her life. And who paid for most of this? Medicare. Except for the first joint replacement of one of her knees in 2014 which was covered by her health insurance that she was paying about 1800 a month for at the time so it was really good insurance.
The point is as humans interface with technology more there will literally be no limit at all to how long a person can live over time. This will be true unless Trump and Putin kill us all first and there are no humans left at all.
So, the point being if technology is used in a benevolent way everyone alive could still be alive in 2100AD.
However, this is only theoretically true but there are people working on making this a reality too including me.
However, then the question needs to be asked can planet Earth sustain 8 billion people?
This is completely different and likely people would have to move underground to make this actually work.
However, global Climate changes are likely going to do this anyway because the winds likely are going to get pretty bad this century and most wooden houses likely are going to blow away in the winds.
However, Can humanity keep going at 8 billion people? Yes. it is technologically feasible if people live mostly underground to avoid the winds this century getting stronger and stronger and the temperatures getting higher and higher.
Because it isn't cold that kills the most people it is heat. Because once your brain gets heated up you cannot think straight and unless someone is there who can think straight people are soon dead.
But. Technologically speaking it is theoretically possible that 8 billion people could survive here on earth by 2100 AD if they moved underground and AI was developed in robots in a benevolent way.
Will this happen?
That's another story entirely.
Because in the end we all only survive
