One of the most famous pieces of research on prediction was done by Philip Tetlock. He asked a group of pundits and foreign affairs experts to speculate about various geopolitical events, like whether the Soviet Union would disintegrate by 1993.

Interestingly, the "experts" struggled to perform better than "dart-throwing chimps," and were consistently less accurate than even relatively simple statistical algorithms. This was true of both liberals and conservatives, and regardless of professional credentials.

What Tetlock also uncovered was that people who preferred to consider multiple explanations and balance them together had superior results to those who relied on a single big idea.

So since our guess can be as good as any, Reddit user Tasty_likesugar decided to ask random minds on the internet to share the things they believe will almost certainly happen in the next three decades. Below are the replies they've received.

50 Predictions For The Next Thirty Years People Think Have A 99% Chance Of Becoming A Reality A horrific pandemic that will make COVID look like “the good old days.” I’m talking *Captain Trips* levels of global mortality.

The United States will be particularly hard-hit, as nearly 50% of the population will refuse to mask, isolate, get vaccinated, or take any other science-based action to slow down the spread.

    Some have, I'm 39. I have nieces, nephews and people that are dear to me in the younger generations. I can understand them, ask them things, enjoy their music, etc. I can also understand my grandma and grandpa, and enjoy their music. Anyone who wants to write off an entire generation (in my opinion) is just being jerky.

    Agreed! I have friends of varying ages because I firmly believe you can learn interesting things & perspectives from those younger or older. I'm a millennial, but I enjoy a wide range of music, & can easily keep up with slang. I can also say the same for people I know that are "Boomers," "Gen X," "Gen Z," because they are open to it🤷‍♀️

    I still f*****g hate the pop music that came out in the late '90s - early 2010s, with very few exceptions. I started warming up to pop music again when it became less about svengali-directed mass market, assembly line faux "music" and returned to individual, organic artists who were in it for the artistry. Adele did a lot of good there and so did Lady Gaga, and Chappel Roan and Billie Eilish are continuing that wonderful legacy. I think the kids from the past decade or so have had admirable tastes in music and feel happy I can breathe easily knowing the future of music is once again in good hands.

    I know I sound pessimistic but i truly expect it to happen.

    We have too many issues that only will get worse and this will increase global frictions between countries:
    Climate Change

    Water/Food SHortage

    Global Aging Population (a lot of Snowball Pension system collapsing)

    AI (pushing all the profits into the 1% and leaving the middle class broke, the Law Makers will make sure UBI won't happen).

    50 Predictions For The Next Thirty Years People Think Have A 99% Chance Of Becoming A Reality We *are* going to see some more bacteria beyond TB and a small number of others that are completely resistant to even last-line antibiotics, and *many* more that are resistant to first and second line treatments.

    My group just published our first paper on *P. Aeruginosa,* it's the biggest genomic study of isolates from patients that we know; we sequenced just shy of 3,000 genomes taken all across the world.

    **All** of them bar the isolates from ONE patient had a group of 6 genes conferring increased resistance to beta-lactams ([all of these](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_%CE%B2-lactam_antibiotics)), fosfomycin, aminoglycosides (eg. Streptomycin) , chloramphenicol, and two different mutations in a d**g efflux pump. The one patient that didn't had the genetic region for the beta-lactam resistance deleted.

    Antibiotic resistance already k*lls millions, and its going to k*ll millions more. Most of those are going to be the poor and people living in under-resourced countries.

The West has a duty to take care of them as they're the primary cause of the catastrophe but you have governments like mine (UK) actively trying to reject and criminalise people just trying to survive.

    I'm still waiting for the inevitable day when some brilliant monster develops a weaponized disease that targets plant life. And then completely underestimates just how easily their disease spreads. There's no better way to wipe out an entire nation (or the entire planet) than to wipe out a significant chunk of plant life, and plants can't fight back.
