• Which type of society are we most likely to develop into?

[i]Let's make a useless thread, shall we?[/i] So, let's say that the world becomes a dystopia of sorts. Somehow or due to some reason, but it's not important. What kind of Society are we most likely to become? Will it be a happiness-first, planned society of Brave New World? Shall it be the dark, destructive world of "Big Brother" of 1984? Or it will become the media-loving, book-hating, and thought-narrowing society of Fahrenheit 451? Now, I probably missed something obvious, but I'll try to add it later, if I remember what exactly I forgot.
Definitely 1984, at least in the U.S.
1984. :colbert:
I choosed "Brand New World", since It's an Iron Maiden song
Japan's gonna ruin everything with their radiation, and we'll live in a nuclear wasteland where it's kill or be killed
Fallout then?
none of the above
Brave New World
Brave New World, in the from of a New Word Order. inb4 angsty teen :colbert:
It's already turning into Fahrenheit 451.
Brave New World because it's already happening.
I'll be honest - I don't understand any of those 3 statements. Though from what I'm reading, in my opinion it'll be closer to 1984
We can't predict the future well enough to know anyways. People predict the future based upon current technology, society and the such. We think that the future will be based off computers, when actually it might be based off something entirely different.
everyone above 30 will be executed
1984, the worlds getting shittier every year.
Thread revive, because this thread is actually statistically informational.
Brave New World. The premise was that we would set down what we as society see as morality aside in order to have pleasure- the things we love, both primitively and through our engineering, we be enabled, regardless of what we see as negative effects today. This would all be done under the global government, which keeps the population peacefully regulated to a certain level to ensure the bountiful existence of resources. This is almost exactly the way society is going. While you have a minority that cares, today's people are more concerned with blood, gore, video games, food, drugs, fast cars, stardom, with relaxing policies and views on drugs, abortion, population regulation (China), and sex crime- in truth, the things we love are turning society into nothing but a giant clusterfuck of "gimme gimme". I'm not so sure about the social levels, but I suppose that might even work out through the development and natural separation of social or economic classes from each other, either on a poor-working-middle-upper-'ruling' class type of deal, or a global third world-second world-first world type of deal, but this is all stretching it a bit.

[QUOTE=SpaceGhost;28732748]1984, the worlds getting shittier every year.[/QUOTE] but by that logic 1984 would have been quite good
Some things aren't what they seem! No brave new world, no brave new world!
