Yes, yes this is all well and good, but pray tell. How should one dress? A tweed jacket with brown leather elbow patches and bow tie, or something a little more conservative, perhaps a navy sports number with handkerchief and silk cravat? Perhaps a monocle? I hear they're all the rage these daze.
Really! Now I will never believe anything I read here!!

"Progress" to me now looks more like a drunkard's walk than an organic development towards an implicit goal. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me to see Western societies becoming considerably more conservative and tougher on lifestyles like single motherhood and promiscuous homosexuality. (Single women and gays don't have a right to sexual fulfillment because, in the conservative world view, NOBODY does.)

I have three college degrees, am a conceptual thinker, and abundantly more intellegent than most other people. The future holds many unknowns.
Within my lifetime, there will be a fundamental shift in computing. The computer will move from electrical to biological. An understanding and harnessing of quantum physics as it applies to biological systems will allow instant computation. Moore's law will end.
This understanding of quantum physics as it applies to biology will completely change our energy infastructure resulting in "biological" transportation and energy supply. For a short period of time, we will still rely on the sun but, in my children's liftetime, we safely and efficiently harness biological atomic energy for a totally decentralized independent pocket size energy generation system that powers everything in your life.
We will also not need lighting as the eye will be improved to see perfectly in reduced light situations, warm clothes as pharmaceuticals will be developed that prevent us from feeling cold above a point of harm, and hair highlights will look natural.

As one of the great unwashed with no specialised sooth saying ability I will go with my gut feeling that the future of humanity will ofset any wonders of invention against mans ability to degrade anything he is handed so we will move into a scientific wonderland or post technological society with one constant, no net reduction of human suffering.
