you ever notice how people are far more sensitive to what is happening in their bodies than ever? people are more allergic and have more IBS and get sicker from what they eat than ever. soon we will all be able to perceive certain behaviors as ones that make us feel worse, even ones that a majority of people cannot now feel like drinking soda, using cell phones, spending too much time sitting down, that kind of thing. it will become a status symbol to abandon these practices and instead accomplish things by the most ritually pleasant manner possible instead. upper middle class families will engage in japanese tea ceremonies regularly, send messages by telegram or carrier pigeon, and spend their off hours dressed beautifully and enjoying nature. those below will make do with hand pulled espresso machines, landlines, the postal service, and regular walks in the park. everyone will be deeply religious but there will be no religious conflict owing to a universal dedication to the perfection of one’s own engagement with religious practice. every built object from cars to buildings will be singularly beautiful yet purposeful. no prose will be turgid or insipid. poets will be paid as much as actors will be paid as much as flower arrangers. humanity will develop a total monoculture which miraculously elevates instead of dilutes each aspect of the component cultures. there will also be a robust monocounterculture that dutifully trade places with the monoculture every decade. all bottles will be glass. america will dissolve all its states and state governments in favor of a mayors’ parliament to be convened 5 times a year and once a decade to appoint the three presidents. children will be allowed to buy and consume light beer. they will play jean-michel jarre in most grocery stores. they will play the THX sound before all movies. most new apartments will have hot and cold running seltzer & a major criterion of apartment hunters will be what brand the building is supplied with. cured meats will be healthy for you. sheet manufacturers will become honest about thread count. look for this to happen some time over the next 8 months
nearly every man heterosexual or otherwise will have a wife due to a major expansion of the definition of wife. 30 seconds will be enough for anything in the microwave. ball lightning will get more common. the new world currency unit will be pegged to the price of 1 small drink. many different subdivision schemes of that unit with unique names, coins, and bills will rotate through regions on a 7 year basis to grant everyone the pleasure of using foreign currencies even if they don’t have the means to travel. braniff will be the only airline. a new drug will be discovered that acts exactly like cocaine but is only as addictive as caffeine. they’ll open ‘greatest hits’ zoos that cut all the bullshit and get straight to the big snakes and loud monkeys. velvet will be more common than it is now but only barely noticeably. malls will become multilevel indoor neighborhoods. people will be scared by far less frightening horror films than they are now. t shirt price capped at $10 in today’s money in conjunction with corn industry level government subsidy. preteen adventurers & detectives will be the primary law enforcement mechanism worldwide.
