Does ยซ2025ยป sound futurist for you too? or am i the only person who feels like being stuck in the past?

You're simply getting old. Your life is being wasted away and you will never claw back the time that you're wasting right now as you read this post.

i have a hard time imagining a future that is futuristic. all i can imagine in an isotropic extension of the present onto infinity or until the machinery that excretes the now has a wrench thrown in. when i hear 2500 I don't think science fiction I think the same old card game with people wearing a different type of collar on thier suit. When i hear 3000 I don't see flying cars anymore or spaceship maybe if we are lucky old man adam will have thrown in the towel and a new chipper chrome fellow will be fanning the bellow. but old chrome keeper will not be any brighter or deeper because in the end of it all gravity says things that go up go back down no deeper.

Do you have also this feeling that humanity will eventually end up extinct in the next 100 years?

possibly. sometimes I have a feeling that I may be extinct in 100 years. there are so many existential threats. its like the boy who cried wolf 100 times. you start to think the species is immortal but at the same time the faster the race the more dead pedestrians in a wreck. as we up the energy and up the ante we leap from stone to stone over one of the five rivers of hell. which river will eventually plunge into? Maybe it will be lethe and we can say humanity is extinct when our descendants have forgotten us so completely that they are no more recognizable then the fish that crawled onto the surface. maybe fire the most thought of one a rather mundane death that we all will cherish. oaths is another river i fear for once into saddle our flight may be too true and in unchanging optimization there will be a death of stasis but even in the seeming life of birth, adulthood, death there is another stasis, cyclicity being its own unchanging noose that every civilizational ornament in hanged on life's tree. can that too be flicked off or is our constellation like a death mask cast in nucleotides and tried in eon

That isn't necessarily the technological advancement slowing down though, that's just civil society stagnating
