An optimistic timeline


(* = less speculative/hopeful to ****** = more speculative/hopeful)
* After decades of political and economic turmoil, the Alliance becomes a fully social democratic (eventually democratic socialist) country. (**)
* There is a global treaty to halt AI capabilities research and similar research (e.g. synthetic pathogens, mirror life, virulent hyperinfectious memes) that may endanger humanity. (***, ** conditioned on applied memetics?)
* A combination of good industrial policy and foreign aid enables:
** Aqqaüqüququq pioneers applied memetics. It becomes a major field of study in the developed world (and resists subversion by capitalism thanks to the researchers' strong code of ethics), leading first to stronger regulations on social media in the developed world. (**)
** Clean electricity eventually becomes too cheap to meter. (*)
** Aqqaüqüququq invents and scales up efficient carbon dioxide removal. The world successfully deploys CDR in addition to achieving net zero emissions, bringing temperatures back down to <1.5°C in 80 years after 1.5°C is first reached. Eco-fascism loses power (or turns into regular fascism); all of Quququqquq-speaking East Asia comes under Aqqaüqüququq control. (**)
** Medical and life extension/anti-aging research eventually bears fruit. This accelerates collective human learning, as humans can now learn and achieve more in their lifetimes even as the prerequisite material needed for each new discovery keeps increasing. (****)
** Robotics automates menial jobs. (*)
** Religious fundamentalism and right-wing populism both lose appeal. (***, ** conditioned on applied memetics)
** Space is harvested for materials. (*)
** Convincing vegan equivalents are cheaply available for most animal products, including gelatin. (**) Veganism becomes the norm. (***)
* Human settlements eventually reach a state where some people choose to live in cities and others closer to undeveloped nature, and neither interfere with one another. (***)
* "Bioanarchism" (consensual/DIY human biological modification) eventually goes into full swing. (****)
* The first humans and animals ascend into a fully realistic virtual world with their continuity of consciousness preserved. This takes place without disempowering those who choose not to ascend. (******)
