As a tradition, my yearly predictions for 2024 are:
Technology
1. Start of long-term decline for #AAPL 🍎 due to weak sales of #AppleVisionPro & #iPhone.

Politics
2. Rise of far-right & far-left parties in most Western democracies. Even centrist parties will introduce traditionally far-right/far-left policies to placate the increasingly impoverished and disgruntled electorate.

3. The US 🇺🇸 will suffer significant reputational damage as the guarantor of peace in Europe as #Russia 🇷🇺 solidifies control in Eastern Ukraine. Most EU countries will start to "re-arm" as a result.

Climate
4. It will be the hottest summer 🌞 yet. Seismically stable countries will increasingly look to #NuclearEnergy ☢️ to meet spiking energy demands.

Medicine
5. More R&D will go into pharmacological interventions used to achieve certain morphological outcomes for "healthy" individuals, e.g., weight-loss, muscle growth 💪, anti-ageing.

Society
6. Peak woke and its counter movements. Male enrolment in higher ed will continue to decline. Single sexless men will continue to increase.

7. A person's financial success will increasingly depend on how an individual deals with digital distraction, including pornography 👄, and leverage technology. Wealth gap between those who can and those who can't will grow.
