future you love We are your friends. Aliens arrive and they are so evolved they lead us to being an amazing thriving world. We are your friends. The joy increases and ecosystems thrive and we sing and dance in the walk streets.  

^This may sound silly or like a joke, but truth be told, ponder it as if it's very plausible for decades! Kinda been waiting for these evolved beings to pop out of their ships or portals from other times, dimensions or galaxies and make the world make sense for all involved.

Always had pictured them alive like us, physical life forms, eating, breathing in 3D...

Writing this actually shifts my subtle hope of a future happy earth outcome were aliens come to the rescue...

Now see this: our only hope is humanity, sorry meant AI.

Mars feels like a really important backup plan. If there’s even a small chance that Earth is fucked from global warming, we need to be able to go to Mars. I heard a cool concept that we can basically artificially create global warming on Mars by putting greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

Unless it’s life or death, I personally wouldn’t move to a planet with less than a million people on it (imagine Austin is the entire world, that feels like the bare minimum for me).

How much money and time would it take to get a million people to Mars?

What will the future literally look like? This idea comes from watching Mad Men- seeing smoking and drinking freely at the office for example, and my brother once pointing out that if a show or movie ever wanted to make it really clear that it was set in the 1990’s, all they’d have to do is have multiple people driving Saturn cars.

So here are a few of what I think (hope) the future will literally look like:

Gas stations will be very rare, and parking spaces will almost always have charging stations.

Having a garage in homes will be rare because car ownership will be rare. Using self-driving Uber-esque systems will be way more affordable, and car ownership then will be similar to antique car ownership now.

Lawns will be very rare, and permaculture-style of local fauna that doesn’t need care, upkeep, or watering will be common.

What do you think the future will look like?
