What will the human race be like in 1000 years?

In terms of the solar system, the whole world will be a frozen ball of ice in a few billion years anyway, so perhaps that history won’t change much. But the history I’m concerned with, that of my descendents, could very well transform much more quickly than 1000 years.

This also implies, of course, that it doesn’t make a bit of difference what happens in the short term (meaning even in the next 1000 years) because in the longer term, the earth will just be a frozen ice ball anyway.

This was a point of philosophy made by Robert Ringer in one of his 1970’s-era books (I forget which):

@Senegoid

Robert Ringer, author of Winning Through Intimidation and Looking Out For #1 (the second book largely repudiates what he wrote in the first book), offers a philosophy he calls “The Iceball Theorem”:

[quoted from memory, so probably not his precise wording]
A hundred billion [or whatever] years from now, when the Sun is a burned-out shell and Earth is nothing more than a cold frozen ice ball, none of this will matter.
[/quoted from memory, so probably not his precise wording]

ETA: His second book (mentioned above) is largely similar (even nearly a clone in some parts) of Harry Browne’s How I Found Freedom In An Unfree World.
