If the last years have shown us anything, it’s that a lot can change, fast. While many events cannot be foreseen, can others? Ipsos asked more than 23,700 people across 33 countries about their predictions for the coming year, with a survey on topics ranging from technology to the environment and world security. This data is based on one survey alone and although it does not focus on additional knowledge of experts and analysts, it does capture a snapshot of sentiments and standpoints in different countries and regions.

What are your predictions for 2025?

I predict more conspiracy theories will be proven true
I've also remain fascinated by the apparent setup for a constitutional convention in the US: #783570
Quite likely one that includes FVEY countries becoming US states #783570
reply
What's "FVEY"?
I appreciate a bold prediction.

tldr; the US and UK, NZ, Canada, and Australia have been effectively one apparatus since WW2
In the last few years the US also decided to sell nuclear submarines to Australia, yet we won't even sell F-22 raptors to foreign countries... nevermind nuclear tech...
Combine the militaristic stances re: eurasia/pacific, looming global financial system/debt collapse, covid/trucker psyops against their populations, and the fact it's basically already happened 80 years ago... I see it as yet another forcing function toward a US Constitutional convention

I've heard of Five Eyes, but I had never seen that abbreviation.
That seems ambitious for 2025, even with the state Canada's in. Crazier things have happened, though.
reply
Yea the an O-Plan for something like this would play out over decades, so timing of the reveal a huge variable... all we know is the clock would have started in 16 when Trump was first installed, could take another 8 years for all we know
Seems to be the direction though since then. The chaos in Canada is actually what makes me lean sooner than later, it has no leadership so that vacuum would be an opportunity to do it. The worse of a state that Canada is in the easier it'd be to get done, and it's probably the most important to the military given the arctic implications if missiles start flying.
Brexit and their collapse as a country accelerates the timeline in my view also.

I have been anticipating a new plandemic for about 2 years now. I think it will come approximately on January 21st, 2025, during the morning, coincidentally when people will turn on the TV: At a random house, a couple will be drinking tea:
  • "Oh darling, the TV says that the bird flue has been killing people, we should cancel our trip to Hawaii! Hoho!"
  • "Oh no, I hope Pfizer will make a vaccine asap to save us from this disaster."
  • "Hoho! Thinking Pfizer will save us, I feel better now!"

Since I was completely wrong on territories this year. I will say we end 2025 with over 70 territories.
reply
reply
I may know a secret that has me thinking this way.
reply
I thought you were opposed to predictions where you can control the outcome.
reply
I am not going to start 15 territories in 2025. I promise I won't influence the outcome.
reply
How about amending it then?
There will be at least 69 territories that @grayruby doesn't operate.
reply
You just amended it for me. Thanks

I don't want to be constrained by a particular set, but I'm thinking about the likes of
  • CNN
  • MSNBC
  • WaPo
  • The Atlantic
I'd count NPR, too, even though they have a different finance model.

AGI arrives, the biggest release of OpenAI

You're probably right. Is there a spectrum for AGI?
reply
AI vs. AGI vs. ASI
  • AI: Specialized AI systems designed for specific tasks (e.g., playing chess, facial recognition, language translation). These systems cannot adapt beyond their programmed purposes.
  • Artificial General Intelligence (AGI): General-purpose AI with the ability to perform any intellectual task that a human can do. AGI can adapt to new tasks, learn across domains, and reason flexibly.
  • Artificial Superintelligence (ASI): AI that surpasses human intelligence in virtually every field, including creativity, problem-solving, and emotional/social intelligence. ASI represents a level far beyond AGI.
What is talked about in AGI there will be domain specific, general and meta which it will learn and adapt by itself

The only prediction I consider myself capable of making at 100%. Is that in 2025 my Fiat will buy less SATS, less consumer products and less experiences... So we continue, studying, learning and stacking to the extent that existence itself allows us.

  1. China finally takes Taiwan by force and consolidates itself as a technology super power.
  2. BRICS announces it has stopped using the dollar and are now using each other's currencies for trade.
  3. Trump's administration becomes desperate to save the dollar and starts to charge BRICS ridiculous tariffs, people become extremely divided.
  4. At least 2 new countries will adopt Bitcoin as legal tender.
  5. At least 1 country will add a Bitcoin fund to its treasury.
