I’m pretty optimistic about the future in general! I’m hopeful that AI creates enough abundance that we can pursue all sorts of wild ideas without needing to justify it with profit. A world where countries start a Mars colony just for national pride, or one where civilians leave on a lightsail just because they can.

Further in the future, I see building a Dyson sphere and whole brain emulation as feasible (I’m writing posts on these).
