Thanks for making concrete statements now. You sound very confident in your words, but ultimately, we are talking about probabilities for the year 2055.
From the perspective of someone living in a metropolitan region in Central Europe, here is my feedback on your theses:
1. U.S. demographic shift: This is already foreseeable and, according to projections, will happen around 2045. (I often perceive the U.S. as a divided country, sometimes even openly racist—hopefully, this shift will lead to greater cohesion…)
2. Bitcoin as the global reserve currency: I wouldn’t be so sure about that. It could take much longer or not happen at all. The U.S. has a strong interest in protecting its dollar privilege—also against Bitcoin and its restriction on monetary policies. (Not my opinion but of many politicians and economists in power).
3. Remote work: This is already widespread today. In many industries, it has long been the norm, at least here. It will likely continue to grow, but as a prediction for 2055, it’s not particularly surprising at all.
4. Real-world AI: AI is already an everyday reality. Large companies have long implemented strategies, training programs, and tools. That it will continue to evolve is obvious—but as a vision for 2055, it feels almost outdated. It’s more of a topic for now until 2030.
Your post mainly comes across as overly self-assured and the predictions feel a bit lame.
There are two types of unknowns:
1. The things we know we don’t know.
2. And the things we don’t (and can’t) know that we don’t know.
For the year 2055, both will play a significant role.
In 1995—30 years ago—almost no one foresaw the impact that smartphones, AI, or Bitcoin, … would have today. Considering the speed of technological development, making predictions for 2055 is even more challenging.
