The UK, US and Europe no longer dominate politics, tech, economics or culture. The UK has become '***broken***' economically, politically and militarily. Europe is fragmenting back to nation states. The US is undergoing a **transformation** into a fantasy cultish multiverse. So it must be China, India, Russia, and Africa where *Y Clochydd* must look for '**what's next**' in the human story. Jungian theory postulates several manifestations of human 'collective unconscious' - which will dominate? We are not all the same. But for 2024, who or what will be relevant or predicted? --- ### UK Politics **Parliamentary general election.** Conservative Rishi Sunak is replaced by Penny Mordaunt as prime minister for an autumn election. Labour wins election with a small majority. Conservatives wiped out in Wales and Scotland. ### US Politics **Presidential election**. Democrat president Joe Biden stands down in favour of a younger candidate. Donald Trump declines/refuses Republican nomination and stands as an independent. Splits between Republicans and Trump allow a Democrat to win the presidency. ### War The Russia - Ukraine war will continue sporadically until something happens to President Putin. Possible first use of battlefield nuclear weapons to destroy Kyiv. Israel will demolish/flatten Gaza and take over the West Bank. Palestinians will end up in large new refugee settlements in Egypt and North East Africa. ### Economy 2024 will be the year of CBDC - digital currency issued by central banks. Two crypto currencies will become approved legal tender. Cash/cheques no more. ### Weather The 'strong' El Niño drives more and fiercer hurricanes and storms. Much melting of ice. Stop/Reversal of the Gulf Stream ocean current = bye bye big Blues off the Carolina coast. It's a COP out. Billionaires head for their luxury bunkers. 'Climate Migrations' start. ### Tech It's a 'Sam dunk' that AI dominates headlines in 2024\. AI mass corporate/governmant surveilance using facial recognition/scraping on social media. Mass '*computer say... NO!'* on medical insurances/job applications/monetary settlements. Chinese and Japanese water/hydrogen engines and new battery tech transform the EV markets. ### Culture Y Clochydd is not 'cultured' and has been and will be (obsessively) playing video games: *7 Days to Die, Valheim* and is looking forward to playing *Dune* in 2024\. Y Clochydd hasn't read a print book or been in a library, bookshop, theatre, or cinema for many years - these are activities that (*in his opinion* \-*ed*), may be doomed to extinction in the next few years exacerbated by pandemics, crowd phobia and super tech developments. --- ### Y Clochydd has been reading (for research) In no particular order, preference or endorsement of views/ideas... Cory Doctorow, C.G.Jung, Isaac Asimov, Philip K Dick, Alex Berensen, Nick Hilton, Dominic Cummings, Enrique Dans, Steven Moore, Alberto Romero.
