A prophecy until 2075
Author Alferyev Anton Anatolyevich
Introduction
This book will explore in detail three key aspects of the future of humanity and the time frame for their implementation. We are on the edge, and the choices we make will determine our future. However, as long as we remain trapped in our vices, the path can be predetermined.
The first aspect is negative. It covers potential catastrophes such as climate change, war, and social problems, highlighting critical points of no return after which there may be no turning back.
The second aspect is positive. It examines opportunities for progress, advances in science, sustainable development and international cooperation, as well as opportunities that can lead to positive changes.
The third aspect is the solution of the planet. It focuses on the need for global unity to address common challenges, such as climate change and biodiversity conservation.
Each of these aspects will be described in detail with a time frame. I have previously written about how humanity can get out of a negative scenario, and in this book I will continue to develop these ideas. The prophecy looks 50 years ahead and highlights the importance of recognizing individual responsibility and collective action to shape our future.
Chapter 1-The negative aspect of the future
Denying and not wanting to see the negative aspects of civilization, a person often believes that ignorance of these problems relieves him of the burden. Actually, burying your head in the sand is not a solution. It is important to understand what position we are in and why we are doing it.
Modern people, unfortunately, have lost the ability to help each other. When someone needs support, you can often hear: “This is your problem.” However, in fact, this is a common problem that concerns all of us. If you imagine an organism where each cell starts ignoring the problems of other cells, then eventually the whole organism will die.
We cannot overcome our vices and difficulties alone. The real solution is to realize that we are all interconnected, and only by joining forces can we meet the challenges facing humanity.
Let’s look at what has already happened in the last 50 years. We will analyze the following areas: technology, medicine, psychology, agriculture, space, society, robotics, mechanical engineering, as well as negative and positive aspects of human life and the inner world.
Between 1975 and 1985, the world experienced significant changes that laid the foundations for the technological era and affected various areas of life. Below is a more detailed overview of the key events and trends of this decade.

In 1981, IBM introduced its first personal computer, which further accelerated the spread of computer technology.
Medicine
There have been significant changes in medicine, especially in the fight against HIV / AIDS. In the 1980s, antiretroviral drugs began to be developed, which became an important step in the treatment of this disease. Research in the field of virology and immunology also began to develop actively, which contributed to the improvement of diagnostic and treatment methods.
Psychology
In the field of psychology, there has been a growing interest in behavioral psychology and cognitive therapy. These areas have become popular due to their effectiveness in the treatment of various mental disorders. Cognitive therapy based on changing negative thought patterns has been widely recognized and implemented in clinical practice.
Agricultural industry
The introduction of new agronomic technologies, including genetically modified organisms (GMOs), has begun in agriculture. These technologies made it possible to increase the yield and resistance of plants to pests and diseases. However, they have also sparked a public debate about the safety and ethics of using GMOs.
Space
The launch of the Space Shuttle in 1981 ushered in a new era in space exploration. The Space Shuttle program allowed for regular flights into space, which contributed to the development of international cooperation in the field of space research and the launch of many satellites.
Socium
During this period, there was an increase in protests against the Vietnam War and the intensification of the civil rights movement. These social movements played an important role in shaping public opinion and political activism, which in turn contributed to changes in legislation and social policy.
Robotics

Wars
Conflicts such as the Vietnam War continued to influence world politics. The war left deep wounds in society and led to changes in international relations, as well as to a rethinking of the role of the United States on the world stage.
Negative aspect
The increase in social inequality and economic crises also became noticeable during this period. Economic fluctuations, inflation and rising unemployment have become sources of social tension in a number of countries.
Positive aspect
Despite the negative aspects, there was a growth of the human rights and environmental movements during this time экологических движений. People began to realize the importance of protecting individual rights and the environment, which led to the creation of new organizations and initiatives aimed at improving social justice and sustainable development.
Thus, the period from 1975 to 1985 was an important stage in the history of mankind, marking the beginning of a technological era and significant changes in various spheres of life.
The period from 1986 to 1995 was an important transition period, marked by significant changes in various spheres of life. The key events and trends of this time are listed below.

The spread of the Internet was one of the most significant events of this period. In 1991, the first web page was launched, which marked the beginning of the era of information technology. This has led to a revolution in communications, business, and education, changing the way people interact and receive information.
Medicine
Medical breakthroughs in genetics have taken place, including the launch of the Human Genome project. This international project, launched in 1990, sought to decipher the human DNA sequence. Advances in this area have opened up new horizons for the diagnosis and treatment of genetic diseases.
Psychology
During this period, there was a growing interest in psychotherapy and psychoanalysis. Psychotherapy methods have become more widely available, and public perceptions of mental health have begun to change. The emergence of new approaches, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, has made psychotherapy more popular and effective.
Agricultural industry
Developing sustainable farming practices has become an important topic in agriculture. In response to growing environmental challenges and the need to increase productivity, farmers have begun to adopt practices such as crop rotation, organic farming, and integrated pest management, which have contributed to a more sustainable agricultural sector.
Space
The launch of the International Space Station (ISS) in 1998 was an important step in international cooperation in space research. Although the station itself was launched later, preparations for it began during this period, which contributed to the unification of efforts of various countries in space exploration.
Socium
The end of the Cold War and the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 became symbols of changes in world politics. These developments led to the democratization of Eastern European countries, as well as improved relations between the West and the East. Social movements and protests have become more widespread, contributing to changes in political systems.
