TLDR: the 2020's and 2030's are going to suck (especially if you live outside of the first world), but if you live to see the 2040's, the rest of the century will be a new golden era for the world. The 21st Century will be a populist and religious one.

Longer Explanation:

• People, especially in the First World, will start to get more wealthy due to stabilized populations and changes in industry and manufacturing. Low level manufacturing will become automated, but there will be an increased demand (and growing workforce) for hand-crafted, artisan goods as well.

• Currency will necessarily stabilize or even deflate as markets reach their limits and populations stabilize. Most new economic growth will come from tech breakthroughs rather than the 20th century rapid growth.

• Wars will become less brutal and involve fewer people, with Total War becoming something that still can not happen due to MAD. The wars will instead be smaller with more limited objectives, with the goal of redrawing borders or balancing power. Armies will also become smaller as there will not be a need for such massive armies when MAD prevents their usage.

• China will implode in the next decade or two due to mounting issues they have already started to suffer. To a larger degree, there will no longer be a single world power, and it will resemble the Middle Ages with numerous power blocks instead.

• The United States, feeling civilizational threats, will double down on its Western identity, becoming aggressively Liberal, and possibly having a new Reformation.

• Europe is a wild card as it seems to not want to take pride in its own native identity. The video theorizes that it will be dragged back into a Western mindset kicking and screaming by the United States, since they will be so weak internationally they will be forced to side with America.

• Humanity will gain the power of the Gods, and decide they dont want it. People will demand the filtering of technology that will be deemed taboo for one reason or another (things like AI, certain biotechs, etc. The things that generally every society ever has declared "Divine Hubris"). However, other technology will be welcomed as it will improve the life of the average person, like Space Colonization. And any nation that works on forbidden technology will be crushed by the rest of the world.

• Religion (maybe), Tradition, and Community will take on more important roles as people realize that technology and money are not making them happy. We will also likely see a revival of old religions and even a rise in new religions as many philosophical doctrines start to sound the same (the example used in the video being that Jordan Peterson's 12 Rules for Life seems a lot like the 10 Commandments as far as a religious framework goes.)

• The world in general will decentralize as no one nation will have the power to maintain a mega-Empire like existed with the British or the United States.

• An Islamic Caliphate will form, likely in the form of Turkey eating most of the Middle East and possibly the Balkans ("Ah shit, here we go again."- The Balkans, probably). This will happen for the simple reason that so many Muslims want it that it will happen whether anyone wants it or not (and the US will no longer be around to stop it).

• The Internet will end up being a huge boon to humanity, but will be used for people to regain their identities. It will also lead to the world generally becoming more Populist, but likely more crude by modern standards.

Caveat: In the short term, the Internet will allow nations be to more repressive and totalitarian, but they will collapse in the end as these ideals run counter to human nature.

• Porn will likely become less taboo as an entire generation has been raised on it.

• Universities will collapse due to general stagnation and loss of purpose, while the Internet allows more people to gain more knowledge.
