A close friend of mine and I have been talking about this exact thing the past few days. Although we as a species have a chance of creating a dystopian future, I think we have an equal if not greater chance of making a utopian future. At the end of the day it just depends what beast you feed. I've learned that we get what we give and I think we're waking up to realize we want to be better and so are making the effort at social change. With the new technological advances like quantum computers and AI, I think we have a great possibility of being happier and more prosperous as we evolve. Great post though. Glad to see I'm not the only one with this stuff on my mind.
