Predictions for 2026
Predicting the future is obviously a silly thing to do, but boy, is it fun to speculate. (I went 21/22 in 2022, 23/23 in 2023, and 23/24 in 2024.)
I went 22/25 in 2025.
Misses:
I predicted Luigi Mangione would be found guilty; the trial was pushed to 2026
I predicted suicides would reach an all-time high; mercifully, they fell slightly short of a new record
I predicted cops would kill more people than ever; they “only” killed 1,263 this past year.
But, at least we didn’t die in a global nuclear war, Trump didn’t invade Greenland/Canada/Panama Canal, Trudeau got tossed, woke peaked, and humanity didn’t reach a breaking point.
The future has a formula:
Chart the current trajectories (good and bad) if nothing changes + assume things will generally get worse due to human nature and the second law of thermodynamics + assume there will be major surprises that no one can predict.
As always, this year’s predictions are written as declaratives, but of course, only God knows the future.
1. Real inflation is going to make you 10% poorer.
It won’t stop until private banks are no longer allowed to create new debt-based money out of thin air. In the meantime, governments will continue to lie about the official inflation rate.
2. Prices go up, quality and quantity go down.
Corporations exist to return profit to shareholders. Corporations will continue to do what they legally exist to do.
3. Taxes and stealth taxes will go up, service quality and quantity will get cut, and public assets will be sold off on the cheap.
It’s just math. If our collective tax dollars buy 10% less than last year, governments will borrow, cut, and/or sell to make up the shortfall.
4. Shareholders, bankers, and landlorders will continue to compound their monopolization of assets and power.
Capitalism’s entire purpose is to compound wealth for asset-monopolizers. Everything must be slaughtered on the altar of more.
5. Muslims will murder more Jews, Christians, and Westerners.
Because that’s the entire point of Islam. (The West is called The West because it’s the western 25% of ancient Christendom that hasn’t yet been conquered for Allah.) For those who want to understand the full game plan, Raymond Ibrahim’s Sword and Scimitar is mandatory reading in 2026.
6. The Arab global propaganda machine goes into overdrive.
Qatar alone has invested more than $100 billion in the ideological war to embed pro-Islamist content in history, social studies, media, social media, academia, governments, and courts. The petro-money they’re pouring onto the Western fire is unfathomable:
$10 billion to Cornell.
$1.3 billion to Texas A&M.
Saudi spent $2 million/month on lobbying
Qatari money bankrolled a single program at Brown University to the tune of $1 billion, creating a K-12 curricula that reached 8,000+ U.S. schools.
It’s all a trojan Horse for ideological infiltration fomenting youth radicalization.
People who aren’t vocally pro-Muslim will be increasingly labeled “Islamophobic,” in the same way trans activists insist “silence is violence.”
7. The real estate market does NOT crash
Because it’s already in a reverse crash.
8. Critical thinking takes a huge hit
As if social media wasn’t bad enough, now people are outsourcing their thinking to artificial intelligence.
9. Artificial intelligence keeps humanity on its death march to the Great Tribulation
Here’s a white paper on how it could play out.
Rapid-fire predictions:
10. We do NOT all die in a global nuclear war
11. American taxpayers are forced to pay over $1.2 trillion in interest, and global debt grows by trillions
12. Middle-market sit-down restaurants get battered. The future is high-turnover fast food (think: Chick-fil-A) and high-priced fine dining (think: Michelin star). Everything in between, like Cracker Barrel? Absolutely screwed thanks to landlords, bankers, and shareholders.
13. Homelessness continues to rise
14. Global democracy declines for the 20th consecutive year
15. The world’s corporate-captured politicians will do nothing meaningful about climate change
16. The United Kingdom continues to collapse under the weight of countless enemies and a once-great population weakened by rejecting God.
Now for some happier news…
17. Taurine starts its ascent
Move over creatine. Taurine is the most slept-on supplement I’ve ever tried. Since Covid it seems like everyone is always ill all the time. Taurine joins the first line of defense alongside Vitamin C, Vitamin D, magnesium, historical heaps of sleep, and sunlight.
18. Iran continues to shake off the chains of Islam
Iran’s underground church is exploding, and tens of millions more prefer secular Persian roots to forced conquest. If JD Vance can keep Trump applying pressure and offering protection to protestors, the Ayatollah’s days are numbered.
19. Poland keeps racking up wins
Considering Australia, Germany, and France basically cancelled Christmas and New Year’s this year, Poland might soon be the only place left with safe Christmas markets.
20. Gold and especially silver continue to tear it up
Honest money beats dishonest banker money every time.
21. Wellness trend of the year: Lymphatic drainage
I’m not saying everyone will dork out and buy a mini-trampoline, but millions will start draining the sludge.
22. Obesity takes a nosedive
As GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic become as common as vitamins, obesity rates will have their largest year-on-year decline. (Of course, society will deal with the unforeseen side effects for decades to come.)
23. The tide turns on LEDs
Studies will show they’re straight-up toxic, and the people who start removing the fast-moving strobe lights from their homes will see serious gains in calming.
24. Millions discover nano-hydroxyapatite toothpaste.
Wow. If you know, you know.
25. Men rediscover testosterone
Good times create weak men.
Hard times create hard men.
As life gets harder, a small selection of men rise to the challenge.
Expect to hear way more talk of keto, carnivore, DHT, boron, weight-training, MMA, and sunmaxxing from your man-friends.
Expect more men to start unapologetically taking a strong lead in various areas of life. It’s not that women don’t have equal value or worth; it’s just that they will never fathom the darkness of the wolves.
Shepherds will rise.
26. Millions more wake up to the lies
False narratives inevitably collapse.
The truth will set us free.
The best news
God exists outside of time.
Meaning He’s already seen every possible permutation of events.
And He has a plan to redeem all the evil that will inevitably occur due to the rebellion of free wills.
Our job is to say yes to a free will with far more insight than our own.
Something to watch out for in 2026:
Friends and acquaintances quietly disappearing.
As billionaire elites hollow out middle-class wealth, people wither.
Most don’t go out with a bang, but with a whimper.
Poor congregants stop coming to church.
Colleagues pass on happy hour as they quietly drown in debt.
Neighbours retreat into a life on screens just to numb reality.
The desperate move far away, chasing affordability and reprieve.
Keep your eyes open for it.
Do what you can to help others survive tomorrow.
THANK YOU for your financial support of Surviving Tomorrow.
