 Will we still have "the feed" in 20 years from now? If no, what will replace it?  
 the brain banner 
 In the future as soon as someone thinks something it'll already be a law in your brain and you'll be currently having it tattooed on your forehead in that exact moment because we'll all be a part of the borg🤷🏽

 I think the message board revival is already underway(?) 
 Scroll my sneed  
 Perhaps we will have digital envelopes with a number of sats displayed with the subject header - sorted highest to lowest in sats. If you read the message you’ll automatically receive the sats to your “wallet”. 
 I think humanity will split when some opt into getting computers embedded into their bodies. The experiences will be a lot different and effectively create a new sub-species. Likely to be the dominant group. 
 20 years don't know, but I feel today most posts should be more ephemeral, why keep a post of your lunch of a random day 4 years ago? 
 For posterity and to be studied by future historians and ai 
 Yes it's very possible, even to then "talk to the dead" using AI. Don't know if personally would want that though. But yes it can be useful in many situations, like today being able to see Satoshi comments on the forums.  
 The stream 
 Neural lace realtime update.  
 algos that show you one post at a time and learn about you from your interaction with that post, then feed you with more posts 
 Depends how you define the feed. I assume we'll still experience time serially, and will still be interested in some online information, so yes we will. 
 Predicting the future is hard. Predicting the direction of the future is not so hard. Our bet is the feed or its replacement will be built on Nostr. 
 Feeds have always existed and will always do so, except that their forms will vary.

Announcers and story tellers > stone cuttings > paper notices > newspapers and magazines > radio > television > internet

Nostr could play a part in the next evolution of its form in the coming two decades. If not nostr, cryptography definitely will. 
 Good point  
 "The Feed" on 𝕏 circa 2043

 No lies detected 😅 
 No. Just a selection of our favourite themes sent directly to our mind. Like an hormone for maintain us operative. Not uneventful of course because as a human beings we need a little discomfort. A dystopian future. 
 The public feed. X broadcasting at Times Square opinion of accepted mainstream opinions from approved centralized posters. Trump has kids, Elon has kids, Biden has kids. The same shit just more enforced. 
 In the best of worlds it may just be some kind of experience in your mind of getting new valuable insights and facts in a continuous stream that suits your personality and intellect.
But we've all seen the Matrix and read Brave New World so how will we know if we're fooled or not?

 I still will have the feed because gigi is the only one that is worth following
