National Intelligence Council (NIC) produced a report on how the world will look like in 2025. Here is a short summary. USA will no longer be a dominant super-power. The western free market capitalism will lose ground to state controlled capitalism. Democracy will lose relevance due to increased presence of dictatorships like Russia and China. The world population will hit eight billion with 16% of those people living in the west. There will be a 50% rise in demand for food. 63% of the worlds population is expected to be poor. The poor
will be poorer. Physical water shortage will lead to severe international conflicts. Without a strong western power present, the arms race in the middle east will escalate. On top of all that, China is developing its space program, designing weapons to shoot down satellites. There is predicted that future warfare will be cyber warfare, where nations will be shut down by hackers on governments payrolls. I will probably be working in a corporate research department in a basement somewhere. My kids will never see me, and my beautiful wife keeps spending more and more time at my best friend house.
I write 2500 pages on corporate finance without recognition. It will turn out that smoking actually is dangerous. Drugs are legal to numb the pain. The glorious past that we all took for granted is lost. The republicans were right. There actually was a link between Al quaida and WMD. George Bush becomes man of the year. CIA turns into ICA to fuck with the opposition. I am still here. I will still write this stupid blog.

Jesus Christ that's depressing! How are you, man?
I'm alright. I'm reading a book a day, drinking away the numbness in the weekends, trying to understand why everybody is driving on the wrong side of the road. Getting visitors from back home next week, so thats cool. How are you? Whats your email?
This is not the best communication method :)
