One thing that we need to remember is that when the world changes too fast, it's those with the least power who aren't able to adapt, whether that be

humans as a result of inequality or non-human.

I'm a bit of a bird fanatic myself and migratory species would be hit hardest.

I'm thinking of the raptors like the Swainson's hawk or shorebirds who rely on this very specific habitat.

You're essentially condemning these species to extinction.

And then you have marine species like leatherback turtles.

A female leatherback can travel over 7,000 miles to return to the exact beach where she hatched decades earlier.

Yep.

We're losing about 45% of global data centers.

So that would cause an immediate contraction in year zero.

A hundred years on, who would fill the void?

I'm immediately thinking of countries like China and India, who have their own social media infrastructure.

I'm also thinking about AI.

We're in this current of such proliferation of AI, and America is leading a lot of that.

There might be a shift to the different global superpower running the social media landscape.

It might also democratise social media.

Maybe it will result in more grassroots and more equitable forms of communication that are localised and don't rely on this algorithmic obsession with likes and shares and reactivity in a space that's very polarising.
