    I mean, my assumption is “people will keep doing what they’re doing now”, and, barring a global eco-religious revival, I don’t really think that’s an unreasonable assumption.

      Yes, and here you are also assuming “people” is a homogenous group, that the western culture you are from (aren’t you ?) is hegemonic.

      But looking at how geopolitics are evolving lately, the world is increasingly multipolar, with multiple models of civilization competing. I don’t know, maybe India will wake the fuck up before us and thrive, while Europe rots and USA goes down the toilet drain?

        Honestly it sounds a lot more like you’re throwing out pie-in-the-sky possibilities as more realistic than they actually are.

          Of course I’m making this shit up, that’s the whole point. Because I don’t know what tomorrow is made of. And I’m just pointing out that OP doesn’t know either.

          He is pontificating about how things cannot change, how he got everything figured out, but in the end he is just a random guy on the internet talking out of his ass, like all of us.
