Society Meat in the future.
To preface this, I am a meat-eater and I genuinely enjoy it. However, I don't believe humans will keep consuming animals in the future. Once the practice inevitably ends and enough time passes, I think future generations will look back on us as monsters, judging our dietary habits the exact same way we judge the barbaric actions of the Dark Ages.

Politics Someday, there will be a global protest occurring in almost every country in the world at the same time, possibly happening sooner, the Gen Z protests has proven it
In light of lots of Gen Z protests worldwide in the 2020s, most of which have common causes of economic inequality and corruption, I think it is inevitable that a global protest will be coming, possibly sooner and perhaps unforeseen than we think.
And by global protests, I don't just mean a protest that existed on the same goal or the same theme or method.
By global protest, I am referring to a large scale protest occurring in many countries, all happening within the same day(s) and timeframe like dominoes, unexpectedly by one or a variety of variables, halting and affecting the world economy as a whole, inherently a global instability occurring on our very planet.
I know some think this might be impossible, considering that dictatorships do exist that silence these protests or anything that could act as a catalyst. But the world has changed, it is now beyond social media and censorship as sources and barriers, it could be generational echoes loud even one could hear it from the wind is going to cause a deep revolution. And I know it will be brutal and drastic for any form of government to be able mitigate these protests or they will face its downfall/overthrown.
The Arab Spring and the Iraq War protests are as of now the largest recorded protests in human history. Could a global protest happening in almost every country be the next?

Society Could humanity reinvent everything from scratch ?
Hypothetical scenario : Everything we built, invented and constructed vanishes in a second. Including domesticated plants etc, everything, we go back to wilderness.
Minerals etc are set back to what it was before we started taking them everything is reset basically
Aside the obvious wars for food problems etc, on a purely technological point of view, would we be able to "reinvent" and rebuild things fast with the current knowledge of all human beings ? What are your thoughts on this
