During covid times I heard many interesting conspiracy predictions such as the value is money will fall to zero, the whole society will collapse, the vaccine will kill 99% of the population etc. None of those things have happened yet, but can you add some other predicitons to the list?
Actually, long before covid hit, there were all sorts of predictions floating around. You know, things like the 2008 recession will cause the whole economy to collapse and then we’ll go straight to Mad Max style post-apocalyptic nightmare or 9/11 was supposed to start WW3. I can’t even remember all the predictions I’ve heard over the years, but I’m sure you can help me out. Oh, just remembered that someone said that paper and metal money will disappear completely by year xyz. At the time that date was like only a few years away, but now it’s more like 10 years ago or something. Still waiting for that one to come true…
We were supposed to see massive starvation by the year 2000, which never arrived
That was actually a pretty good prediction. They just didn’t account for one genius who revolutionized farming.

At this point it’s probably fair to credit Norman Borlaug with saving billions of lives.
It was not a good prediction. If did not come true.
Interesting. Never heard of that one before. Who predicted that?
Every time you hear some edgelord on the internet suggest we exterminate all the world’s poor people to “solve” climate change, always remember that Thomas Malthus was wrong:

Anyone saying that seriously should be the change they wish to see in the world and off themselves, they won’t save the world but it will surely be better than before
