We are standing at a super fork in the road of human destiny. In 2026, global economic growth is projected to be only around 2.7%, significantly lower than pre-pandemic levels. Trade tensions, geopolitical conflicts (with ongoing volatility in the Middle East), and policy uncertainty cast a dark shadow over the traditional growth path: rising unemployment pressure, deepening social divisions, sluggish investment, and a sense of future uncertainty for many people.But on the other road, a “supersonic tsunami” has already arrived — the singularity acceleration of AI and robotics technology. Productivity may explode exponentially, robots will be everywhere, work will undergo complete transformation, and the economy could achieve tenfold or even hundredfold growth, leading us toward radical abundance. Money may no longer be the bottleneck, and humanity will advance toward a starship civilization, prospering like in Star Trek.A Fork in the Road - AFITR is precisely the observer and advocate at this fork in the road. We document the interstellar dream (the lights at Starbase pointing toward Mars), explore AI alignment and governance risks, and call on more people to choose the path of “heading toward the stars” — because only by becoming a multi-planetary species can civilization pass through the Great Filter of the Fermi Paradox.Which side do you stand on?Will you continue struggling on the familiar yet shaky old road, or will you join us in embracing that radiant future full of possibilities?
