Someday we will have 1 trillion humans spread across our solar system

In order to reach a trillion we will have to get off earth alone, that alone is sure. So let’s assume that we will not die, and keep growing. We’re doubling about every 50yrs

2075: 8 B to 16 B (50 years)
2125: 16 B to 32 B (100 yrs)
2175: 32 B to 64 B (150 yrs)
…
2425: ~1 trillion (400 years)

creating and destroying; built flying cars & autonomous vehicles, now building roc.camera, writings: july.rocks

it's a fascinating topic for predictions! my base case is humans never go beyond 10B, and might be at 8B or lower by 2100. autonomous robots on the other hand, could be growing exponentially.

by 2050 we should have some clarity about these numbers either way, what a wild time to be alive!
