How Space Affects The Future Economy

In the near future, when we can extract resources from outer space like asteroid mining, we will have access to more than enough to sustain humanity's exponential need for energy. However, the cost of space exploration will create a feeling of artificial scarcity. In the far future, the expansion of the universe will also contribute to the increase in the cost of space exploration. Because the speed of light is constant, yet space expands, we need to develop faster-than-light technologies like the Alcubierre drive, which works by contracting space in front of it and expanding space behind it, making space travel superbly efficient.

Happiness from the Simple Things in Life

The sources of happiness should be sustainable, achievable, and practical. In this way, we could enjoy life without much stress. Buying the newest products, focusing on our social following, and following the latest trends to remain happy takes a lot of energy, time, and money. Compared to more sustainable activities like listening to music, we are walking in the park, spending time with friends, enjoying hobbies, gazing into the sky, and admiring the weather. Finding happiness in such simple things is a peaceful journey towards contentment.

Values in the Age of Information

In the information age, we no longer need to worry about finding information but must focus on finding the right information. So much information is available online, and it can be not easy to know what is true and what is not. We need to be able to identify reliable sources of information, and we need to be able to think critically about the information we find. The information should also be valuable; we should not just passively consume quick content on social media. The information we must learn should contribute to our knowledge, skills, and personal development. We should ensure that the knowledge we gain from the internet should benefit ourselves and others around us, online and offline.
