>> Propagating Beliefs

Given a large enough spatial medium various unique belief systems can coexist however the most prominent ones to propagate are those that utilize innovation, both in technology and paradigm or way of thinking. A prime instance of such a phenomena would be colonialism, Europe despite decimated by the Black Plague, was able to govern the rest of the significant continents in part due to the disaster itself they were forced to pursue the actualization of scientific discoveries and adopt an expansionist and competitive perspective while developing cultural values that further reinforced such a belief system. Cartography, astronomy, and metallurgy and other fields of study that were essential for long distance maritime voyages and sustain an ever expanding territories were independently developed by Eastern civilizations however were not applied as vehemently for such purposes as by Western ones.

>> Eternal Appreciation

Science and technology are magic so prevalent that there wonder is often overlooked, but when we look back on its origins we are fascinated by its mystical essence. Alchemists with their endeavors to transfigure lead into gold and of eternal life by the philosopher's stone have birthed chemistry. Astrology and astronomy developed side by side to study the night sky. Constellations were believed to be spiritual beings and also useful reference points for wayfarers. The chat bots we have will be seen as rudimentary but endearing by those in the far future as we did with the mechanical diety statues in ancient Egypt and Greece.

>> Omniscience

The set of all data derived from reality can be treated as the virtualization of the universe itself, inferring from it can create great value. An automated system with the ability to do so can take all that is known to reduce what is unknown and unknown that we aren't even aware of, the discovery of new ideas and their applications that stem from it are what make the future after a technology singularity unpredictable and promising. A potential approach in developing such a system would be a foundational model that incorporates structured data, such an architecture would be similar to a world model, but that doesn't only directly capture the physical one, but a more abstract space that includes human and economic values, it would be, in a metaphysical sense, a virtual representation of the collective unconsciousness in its relation with its approximation of reality itself. Currently, most models are pre-trained for natural language, image, and video inference. However structured data, which includes databases and 2D or higher dimensions of representing data, including those such from domains of knowledge in industry and science, enabling one to infer from much higher-level concepts rather than only inferring the laws of physics, imagine an AI system that can accurately predict a human's DNA sequence just from a portion of it, and also be able to make a prediction on how their life will be and what kind of person they'll be since it can cross-reference it with every other human being that's being trained on or has long-term memory access to it and see the significant choices they've made in their lives, and their external influences.

>> 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.
