It’s hard to think of these things, but I’ll take a swing at it.
The Good
The human race will endure.
Finance will become slightly more democratized and less centralized to the US, as the post-tariff trade agreements start to take effect. (And best to put a portion of your retirement in international funds before then.)
AI regulation in the US and internationally will likely have progressed (though in the US, only at the state level), which is a good thing as we’re beginning to see the negative effects of LLM’s on cognition and mental health.
The Bad
The human race will endure.
If history holds, Dems will take the House or Senate in the US, but it won’t matter because they too legislate for the billionaires and not the working poor. (Clinton, Dubya, Obama, Donald, and Biden all had control of Congress and lost it at the mid-terms.)
With TikTok likely becoming nationalized in the US, radicalization of GenZ is going to continue to get worse, and the effects on national discourse and society in general will increase in toxicity.
It’s hard to think of these things, but I’ll take a swing at it.
