Furries and troons are a relatively new social movement, and I predict they will almost certainly be forgotten, while there are individuals and groups in the past whom were very interested in anthropomorphic animals, such as artists like Louis Wain, etc, there was not a community for it and also not a stigma. People didn't have a label or a subculture, knowing this, I believe that all these new subcultures will rapidly die out, even if furries have been around for atleast 40 years max, at some point they will be forgotten by 3000 AD, perhaps.
Now onto a more important philosophical discussion:
It's even scarier to think about what the year 3000 is going to be like, but kind of funny that it took 2000 years since the death of that jewish guy + billions and billions of other years for humans to create a reliable worldwide communication service from discoveries that seemed to only increase quicker and quicker until eventually we just have the tech we do now in a matter of decades. The evolution rate of things like videogame consoles and smartphones were extremely fast that the gap between the PS2 and the PS3 AND the PS3 and the PS4 was only a matter of 6 years, and that's exactly why 2000s culture was great, because we were living in a time period of rapid change, things were happening, and they were happening FAST, expecially in comparison to the years and years before where we just didn't have the technology we have now.
It's weird to think about, to go from 8 bit to 16 bit to 32 bit then 64 bit, to jump from 2D graphics to 3D, for there to be a time where phones and bulletin board systems were a primary form of communication and now it's the intenet... and it all just seems so convenient, you know? To be born, not in the DNB ages of the world, but in the prime of human civilization... very convenient.
There used to be a time where we envisioned the future as being able to ride around in hover cars, very silly of us. In some movies, we just assumed it would be the same way it was in the year the film was made, and people still used old telephones and stuff. With the way that things are seemingly stagnating now and culture is slowing down a bit with graphics becoming more and more "realistic" and systems becoming more and more faster, perhaps the future that's in store for us, is everyone having a cheap and affordable graphics card to run atleast 2 or more AI agents, perhaps even 30, perhaps the future consists of hardware with dedicated AI cores to help you do tasks better, or perhaps the future is in transhumanistic chips or smarter smartphones. I wouldn't be surprised if we just end up living in Ready Player One. But who knows.
To only have figured out the tech we have now and hone it in within a matter of perhaps 3 decades compared to the billions of years we've been alive for is strange to think about, but maybe it has something to do with natural selection and evolution in general, the population just increasingly got more and more smarter, birthing people intelligent enough to give us things like this, but eventually one has to question whether or not the technology we have will lead to a collapse and a downfall in intelligence due to over-reliance on technology.
I have to wonder though, how exactly for 2000 years could a religion like Christianity survive for, and perhaps even longer, and if that's possible, is it possible for other things? Hopefully furries will not be remembered 3000 years from now.
