  1. That's the future. People and "experts" alike always asume disuption will take many decades and will go slow and orderly. In reality it always follows the same s-curve every time and we jump from 10 to 80% adoption in the span of a single decade. Only leaving the edgecases that will adopt over time as technology further develops. We are quickly moving in on that 10% as we speak and the economics are rapidly moving towards renewables being the only option for any economy to maintain its competitiveness.

  2. You really think that is more likely? The country is on a better trajectory then it has been in decades now. It broke free from being stuck in limbo, the population is all facing in the same direction and has a common goal and it finaly has a clear path to development. Ukraine is looking at a prosperous future.

  3. Not a likely scenario. And if it where to disapear for some reason things wouldn't change to much. Eu is just a collection of nation states, that structure of sovreignity would simply remain, cooperation would just decrease over time. The eu can not actually collapse, it could just disapear i guess but then the countries would still be the same countries.

  4. It would be devistating for USA hegemony. European autonomy directly undermines USA global influence.

  5. Hitman developers.

  6. As long as the level of mechanisation is comparable on both sides wars can still go on for a long time and be very deadly.

  7. Corruption seems to be to normalised in russia for democracy to flourish. It would need a great shift in social norms first.

  8. In the long term, probably yes, but in the intermediate years things could become very dark when not prepared properly.

  9. It is just a sign of prosperity. When children are no longer needed for securing your old age they become a burden. Kids consume vast amounts of not only capital but also energy. The cost bennefit calculation vastly changes if children go from "essential for survival" to a luxury that has a masive impact on your entire life that competes with all sorts of other goals people have nowdays. Things change over multiple generations as the norms around having children change. In th 60s and 70s not having kids was concidered weird, over time it became normalised and thus more widespread. Feminism is also part of this change. As women want more things, children also drop lower on the priority list much more often. And even more often are limited to a single child.
