After Trump disappears, a competent dictator will take his place. Maybe not immediately, but within 20 years. Someone who will use all the precedent set by Trump to its fullest to effectively remove any democratic element left in the US political system. I'm not sure how the US will deal with this, or how the rest of the world will react, but I'm certain that somebody is watching Trump while thinking: I can do that without being a complete moron.

We will never, ever get the Winds of Winter. And it will be at least 20 years before anyone redoes a tv GoT

Interesting, I thought I saw some news passing that he admitted he would never finish them, seems like now I can't find those back (maybe they were just ironic and not accurate).

He's been trolling us for years Blaze. So many children named Khaleesi nowadays and no justice for them

In fairness to GRRM, that's not on him - that's on poor reading comprehension.

I remember it too. He said he knows how it needs to end, but can't figure out how to put the pieces in place in a way that makes sense.

AI, robots, politics, nature, energy. So many things are going to change but I am not sure about anything.

To make a bold prediction, I would say that there will be a civil war in Europe. Funny enough, both sides will claim to defend democracy.

One more prediction:

EU age verification infrastructure will be used to block adults from accessing the internet as punishment or to censor opinions.

Complete economic collapse, a depression of the likes we have never seen

Haven't we had that like 12 times since 2008?

I’ve lived through a whole dark age and three supposed end of days.

I'm calling Half-Life 3 in the near future, maybe even a new iteration of the Orange Box. Valve has been weirdly active about their old IPs and rumors are flying.

I'm basically looking forward to it being one of the best things to come out of the US this decade. Finally, an export we can be proud of.
