my predictions about the future:

made in 10.2021:

- With 95% probability there will be a huge disaster causing collapse of modern
  civilization in the next 20 years. The most likely scenarios are:

  - a powerful solar flare (CME) causing long Internet and electricity outage,
    worldwide panic and possibly things like a nuclear war out of confusion
  - collapse of the technological chain and economy which will shatter the
    highly interdependent nature of our civilization
  - third world war caused by fascists fearing migration, further fueled by
    dramatic climate change etc.
  - a deadly disease
  - a huge natural disaster such as volcano eruption or meteorite impact
    triggering collapse of economy, worldwide panic etc.

- In the matter of years this will happen:

  - Extreme globalization, dissapearing of cultures, languages and religions,
    who will all become replaced by the American culture.
  - Europe will completely adopt the American model and culture, dropping all
    socialist efforts. In the Czech Republic and other countries healthcare and
    education will become privatized.
  - Extreme censorship will be established on the grounds of preventing "hate
    speech". AIs will monitor all speech, phone calls, mail, even talk at homes
    via microphones in electronic devices.
  - By inertia pseudo leftist group such as LGBT or feminists will switch the
    goal from social equality to social revenge. Straight white cis males will
    become an oppressed group, similarly to Jews during WWII.
  - Linux will be completely conqured by capitalists and made into unethical
    software aimed against people. In this it may likely replace Windows.
  - Wikipedia will be conquered by fascists, becoming highly censored, promoting
    one political view, commercialized etc.
  - Free software and free culture movements will practically die, they will be
    replaced by movements such as open source which itself will be nothing more
    than a brand, serving corporations and not the people.

- With 100% probability capitalism will continue to grow and make life more and
  more miserable for 99.99% of people. This will come with:

  - Decline of morality to near zero, replacement of morality with law (there
    will no longer be a sense of right and wrong, only of legal and illegal).
    Empathy and altruism will be seen as stupidity and weakness.

  - Smothering of all socialist and altruistic ideologies.

  - In the matter of years intellectual property laws will get more and more
    strict and opposition will be defeated:

    - Free software will become illegal.
    - Free cultural works will become illegal.
    - End to end encryption will become illegal.
    - Perpetual copyright will be established despite it being unconstitutional
      in many countries.
    - More kinds of intellectual property rights will be established, e.g.
      rights to facts, rights to face appearance etc.

  - Computer capable of running independently and offline will be banned on the
    basis of "anti-terrorism". People will only own terminal devices to access
    corporate clouds, giving absolute technological power to corporations.

  - Complete prevail of rightism and eventually anarcho capitalism, the power of
    the states will diminish rapidly up to a complete de-facto rule of the
    strongest corporations. People will no longer be protected from untethical
    practices of corporations. This will lead to e.g.:

    - Working conditions equalling slavery. No more free time.
    - Health care only for the rich.
    - Crime protection only for the rich.
    - Disappearing of market competition, every field will become owned by a
      single monopoly corporation.
    - No welfare.
    - Extremely high prices put on by monopolies.
    - Life becoming extremely miserable for the poor who will be forced to
      breathe bad air, drink bad water and eat bad food.
    - Personal armies owned by corporations.
    - Extreme conflict everywhere, constant war-like mentality of fascist
      tribes tied to brands, corporations, nations etc.
    - Physical extermination of the weak: handicapped, homeless or just low
      productive people.
    - Slavery of people to pharmaceutical corporations who will deliberately
      and openly poison people and then offer them expensive life-long
      treatment. They may also develop viruses and then require collective
      payment for not releasing them.
    - Preventiong of progress, e.g. automation or electric cars.

  - Extreme advertisement equalling psychological torture. Unescapable
    commercials in the sky, in dreams, loud audio ads outside etc.

  - Complete loss of privacy justified by "security" and "anti-terrorism", every
    person will be required to have a spying device attached (e.g. as a chip
    under the skin or a "smart phone" that's mandatory to carry around).

  - New generation of politicians will appear: extremely powerful billionaires
    who no longer pretend they want good for the people. These will be e.g. CEOs
    of largest corporations who will be de facto controlling whole states and
    will no longer need to appeal to the people. They will only announce
    themselves becoming the dictators.

  - People will NOT rebel against the system, they will rather play along and
    try to achieve "success" withing this dystopia. The losers will get
    apathetic and just suffer their existence with the hope of quick death.
