RE: Utopian or Dystopian Future? Star Trek vs The Hunger Games

in #utopia5 years ago

Capitalism is going to have to evolve if we are to avoid the Hunger Games type future. In fact, it's going to have to evolve if we want to have any future at all. The erosion of the consumer class (rapidly being replaced by machines/AI) will cause capitalism to fail, as capitalism revolves around consumption. So our future could perhaps be better described as a choice between Star Trek or Somalia, say. It's going to be a rough few decades, I expect. The 1% will fight like hell to retain their power and dominance. I expect it's going to get all French Revolution unless they willingly give up some of their immense power and wealth.
