Life in the Year 3000

Joshua Hehe

Jun 9, 2017

By the end of the third millennium, people will all have access to basic utilities like electricity and the internet. As a type two civilization, the overall energy consumption of everyone in the 30th century will be at a level of around 4×10²⁶ watts. In other words, the energy utilization in a world full of working-class consumers will be comparable to the luminosity of our parent star. So, the people of the future will inevitably need to fully harness the output of the Sun through the use of a vast array of satellite mega-structures that encircle the celestial body and capture the radiation it emits.

In requiring everyone to work together, the inclusive attitude of the future will cause everyone to grow much closer to one another, improving interpersonal relationships in neighborhoods the world over. By the year 3000, the whole of humanity will become a sort of poly-amorous society of mono-ethnic global citizens, living in a complex egalitarian intercontinental cooperative. Everyone will be part of multicultural communities within communities. Companies and credit unions will even be owned by their employees. People will all be very conscientious. Everyone will support the global economy, as well as ecology, of the world.

Humans will inhabit artificial urban jungles filled with buildings and sidewalks, while the other animals will inhabit natural rural jungles filled with wilderness and trails. Friends will walk through the crowded streets of the mega-cities of the future holding hands with one another. Public displays of affection will be customary among everyone. Casual bisexual encounters will be the norm. Everyone will care about everyone else. People will all accept each other, and help each other out, more and more as time goes on.

The point is that eventually, everyone will finally get along. Humanity will progress to a point of collective compatibility as everyone sufficiently integrates and assimilates. From now until the year 3000, several thousand languages currently spoken will reduce down to only about a hundred. More importantly, the nation-state members of the UN will all use the same form of electronic currency. As the countries of the world unify more and more, the metric system will become the universal standard of measurement. Things will become increasingly more common among everyone. This will bring everyone closer and closer together, each step of the way. In the end, cultural memes will all eventually just blend together in the great melting pot that is the world.

People will also change physically, along with mentally, too though. For instance, there will be an increase in both height and longevity, among people in general. In the year 3000 people will be about six feet tall, and live to be 120 years old, on average. They will experience a slight reduction in the size of their mouths, too. Improvements in nutritional science will revolutionize the world of medicine and alter the course of human evolution. Everyone will be genetically screened as an embryo to weed out defects and correct mistakes in their personal genome. 8th scale transhuman cyborgs will even go so far as to have 7th scale robotic integrations, with microscopic machines making them better. This will be terribly important because there will be very little diversity in the gene pool of the superhumans of the future, who are all bred to be what is considered ideal.

Although the global citizens of the international republic will all be part of an egalitarian civilization, they will no longer be primarily patriarchal as a species. Instead, Homo sapiens will begin to behave more like Pan paniscus, rather than Pan troglodytes. Society will be primarily matrifocal, so children and their father will take on the surname of the mother. Females will be the head of the house and the state. The matriarchy of the future will contain six billion women, and nearly as many men, who will all work together toward cooperative social welfare rather than competitive antisocial warfare.

The international superstate will ultimately govern everything, but unification into the transnational republic will bring about dismantling of the military-industrial complexes through mass disarmament. In the future, there will even be outpost colonies on Mars. This will all help to pave the way for peace through unrestricted intercontinental an interplanetary trade and travel, across and between the worlds of tomorrow.

For you guys to have an idea about what's going on with the story, except that in my story, humans are still in type1 civilization, and also, consider other misleading details, I'm not a scientist.
