It's me, I'm the smartest man on Earth. I'm still waiting for people to catch up. I find it strange to predict the next 14 years when the world is exploding with Africa/Asia literacy and the internet mainstreamization, and the technology. It's like trying to guess the flow of streams, with the waves beating. In 1935, it was a smaller scale of events. It doesn't matter, anyway. The world doesn't need more ideals and high-level thoughts, people function less than they think at that level, and there is progress enough, it needs empathy and respect, and fixing the bottom, for a more cohesive whole. These days I worry about what Africa will be when pacified, since it seems to be the major change, with internet, and they have a different culture, and they got shafted a lot, it seems. Africa is 1.1B people, US+Europe, so with our level of education, it'd be a crazy actor. http://ourworldindata.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/ourworldindata_literacy-rate-by-age-in-middle-east-and-northern-africa.png http://ourworldindata.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/ourworl...
People rave at the impact of major works, but the impact of achieving literacy in one generation, and opening all these infinite doors to half of humanity, this is a major event, and you can predict it just as well as you can predict the path of an engulfing ouragan... I'm in such a poetic and verbose mood. Alright, I give up the title. Another day.
