Wish It Was So. But It’s Not.

Sorry, but there’s no evidence to support these conclusions and your timelines are off.
- Civilization is 10,000 years old, not 20K. (see Our Human Stain)
- Two generations from now is 2057–67. Given that we’re now converging on a nonlinear inflection point for technology, economics/capitalism and geopolitics simultaneously, there’s absolutely no way to assume, let alone justify, your rosy scenario. (see Civilization’s Anti-Human, Not Machines)
- The number of bad scenarios far outnumbers go ones. (see Only 6 Possible Outcomes in Next 20 Years [ — 4 are Bad — ])
- Inasmuch as the velocity of change in the world is accelerating, the increasing complexity and consequence of ANY miscalculation can easily be catastrophic. (see Doc Says — Our Emotions, Institutions and Technological Capabilities Are Mismatched)
- Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs does not include compassion. At bottom are survival and safety, which given the changing economic situation globally are increasingly front and center (see Our Twilight Zone & What Comes Next *)
- You are implying a linear, “Darwinian” evolution. But equally common is nonlinear evolution, which you have neglected completely (see Macroscopic Evolutionary Paradigm)
Sorry to rain on your parade. But realism at this point in human evolution is paramount.
