| My naive predictions: - Countries are going to become increasingly authoritarian, not unlike what happened after the Great Depression - There are going to be a lot of angry poor people looking for someone to blame and they might become violent; there might be riots, protests, or calls for revolution - There might be a slight increase in abortions or births depending on the current prudence of couples - Some countries might start experimenting with permanent Universal Basic Income once they realize how unnecessary most jobs have become - Mental health and self-esteem is going to degrade (esp. in the younger generation); there might be a sharp increase in suicides or people who choose to opt out and become recluses - We will see a very strong push towards smart cities, cybernetics, and eugenics by the start of the next decade - Leaks upon leaks of nude media from all the random sexting going on during the quarantine - Plenty of divorces |
