Hopefully that does happen considering all BS that is going on with all people on internet that like to blame what ever they hate from what ever they see fit based on they political views. But I am not holding my breath for that to happen.

Oh like politics was never part of the movies. Like there was no political intrigue in the industry ever...

Collectively speaking. So say if you for instance happen to regress, everybody else picking up on your slack by average makes us better.

I dunno, the Internet is proof there's some damn stupid people out there. But eventually tech will grow to the point we can correct the flaws in our genetic makeup, phase away capitalism, and evolve into a true post-scarcity civilization, where we aren't struggling over resources. It's the Star Trek ethos, sure, but I think it's only a matter of time - assuming we don't kill ourselves first, or die out naturally, or suffer a societal setback. I think as that happens, our artificial divisions like race, nationality, and so on will melt away. Gender will be the last to go, sadly, and might not at all, but that's okay if it's reached something better than it is today.

Sounds like a boring future to me. Safest, maybe, but vanilla as f. And frankly I see little evidence that we are moving closer together.
