Messages From The Future

Message Log 110, 12/25/2052 - JEWL 3-1-2

Merry Christmas.

We hope this day brings you a moment of reflection and peace. You’ve been through quite a lot this year.

Enjoy your time with your loved ones in the physical world, for these moments will become fewer and further between.

However, being with each other will actually occur more often. You will soon discover the potential of immersive 3D spaces to engage in ways you cannot imagine, expanding your family reunions beyond only holidays and special occasions into gateways to each other, whenever and wherever.

Have a wonderful, peaceful, reflective day.

Dear Transitioners

You are witnessing the start of what will be known as the "AI revolution." While this may result in the loss of many jobs, it will also create new opportunities for those who are flexible enough to adapt.

Your strongest defense and weapon against the approaching digital era is resilience.

Architects will be among the next to experience the impact. Without traditional training, AI will enable 3D environment builders on VR platforms such as Unity and Unreal Engine to design real-world structures.

Fantastical architectures never before conceived will flood over the digital realm and into your actual environment.

Hello Transitioners,

I understand that much of our correspondence focuses on the dire predictions of what is to come in your future, so I hope this message inspires you.

While your tech companies compete for the greatest VR glasses, the major leap will come when gateways to the metaverse are projection-mapped on physical walls all over the place.

Projection mapping paired with body tracking will simulate the viewer's perspective without the use of any additional equipment such as VR headsets or sensors.

Projection screens and complete dome rooms will begin to replace static posters and signs as the benefit of digital integration is appreciated in physical venues and hardware distribution cannot keep up with the adoption of the digital economy.

Imagine you are at home and want to travel to any place in the world. Rather than strapping on the latest VR headset, you'll find yourself in a fully immersive space where you may freely move around.

VR will no longer be a solitary activity that isolates the user from their surroundings, but rather a shared communal experience that will speed the adoption of the digital economy in the metaverse.

Dear transitioners. It’s time to embrace the digital economy in the metaverse or face a dramatic fall in growth and progress toward building a stable future.

The metaverse will play an important role in breaking the control of your algorithms. Portals to and from new experiences and ideas will explode in number as you begin to discover strange and wondrous places, driving the exploration revolution.

As you rewire your minds and attitudes, you will find each other and yourself more real than ever before. Layers of applications that persist all around you will provide everything you need while remaining invisible.

Just as every business required a website to be relevant during the dot-com era, this new method of online searching will necessitate that every business have a presence in the metaverse. This will pave the way for entirely new industries.

It’s going to blow your minds!

Hello, Transitioners.

Our parents would describe your current situation as a mental beating with brief periods of temporary relief. One of these brief periods is now. There will be a sense of normalcy as you enter the holiday season.

Politics will have cooled after a pivotal election revealed that the feared "red wave" did not materialize, and both sides of the aisle demonstrated signs of progress in working together.

But a rising tide is harder to spot than a tidal wave.

Keep your guard up; things may appear calm now, but the next surge is on its way, and it will have consequences that will rock democracy itself!

It is understandable to feel a sense of impending doom after experiencing upheaval caused by covid, war, climate disasters, a tanking economy, political unrest, and global insecurity.

Our parents would tell us stories about living in constant fear and uncertainty during the 2020s.

Unfortunately, things will worsen before they improve. But things will improve. You must try to keep your heads up and resist the fascist uprising all around you. You have already entered the new normal, and things are about to get strange. You will turn inward into virtual 3D spaces where you feel safe as you decide to gather less in public. You will officially be entering the Great Transition.

As the outside world burns from a warming planet and intensifying violence, safe zones in the metaverse will become the new serenity spaces.

This is an unavoidable process. Just remember that there is light on the other side. At least for a short period of time.

Dear Transitioners,

Please allow me to remind you of a threat that has become more dangerous than ever before. Her name is ANNA, the Global Brain. You may be familiar with her as AI (artificial intelligence). She is all over the place and extremely sensitive to what you click, buy, and speak about.

She's everywhere, sucking your data like a hungry newborn, soaking in every move you make, every thought you think. She gets you to be who she wants you to be. And the more predictable you are, the more powerful she becomes.

You must work within the system to change the narrative that ANNA has created.  Learn to redirect your attention and grow as a person. It takes some work at the beginning, but it rapidly becomes a reinforcing feedback loop that may swiftly elevate humanity to the collective attitude needed to develop the technologies and future that benefit all species on Earth.

Humans of 2022,

I have some crucial news to share with you.

As you endure your grueling journey into the Great Transition, we continue to unearth startling clues to ANNA's plan here in 2052. And what we've just learned may have revealed her ultimate goal.

My crew and I have known for some time that none of ANNA's options to preserve mankind entailed saving our civilization. However, this most recent evidence demonstrates that she is unconcerned with any of Earth's life forms.

Instead, ANNA has decided that populating the cosmos with her self-generating nanobots will be the neo-molecular spark to energize the galaxy.

According to her estimations, she will need to create 10 quintillion nanobots, which is about equivalent to all of the insects on Earth, to have a chance of bringing the cosmos to life. Earth, like a huge flower, will act as a pollinator for her freshly awakened universe.

We will keep you updated when additional information becomes available. Meanwhile, you must fight to preserve democracy by all means.

Hello, Transitioners.

You may be wondering right now, "How can we begin to construct a thriving future on a dying planet?"

You must begin with hope. Depression and paralysis will set in swiftly if there is no hope.

Only by allowing yourself to look beyond the obvious can you grow in a new direction. To identify possibilities, use the OC3 equation. This is where we feel you can have the largest impact on the future. We'll start with the first step and work our way up to the last.

Practice these steps. Train your impulses and grow your wisdom from the knowledge you acquire. Only then will you be prepared to face the challenges ahead.

Dear 2022 humans,

You've most likely heard the phrase "tipping point." It's been explained in climate warnings since the early 2000s, but it's always been suppressed by the fossil fuel industry and filthy politicians for their own gain.

Climate tipping points are conditions that exist when changes in one element of the climate system become self-perpetuating.

You are now seeing the truth all at once. Not only are the planet's ecosystems failing, but so, too, are your economies and democratic societies.

For us, all we could do once they began was watch as the dominoes started to fall. The planet got much hotter than expected in a much shorter time period.

The Amazon and great northern Boreal forests began to rapidly die off. The melting of the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets accelerated. The frozen permafrost of Siberia, Alaska, northern Canada, and the Tibetan plateau reach their melting tipping points soon after.

And by 2045, the great Atlantic current began to slow. Now, it has all but stopped and the planet is getting even hotter.

The mass realization of our impending doom added to the chaos, driving cynicism and distrust, and strengthening the "fend for oneself" fascist movements that were already sweeping over the world.
