Exactly.
The challenge now is to predict whether society in 50 years is going to look more like "Idiocracy" or "The Walking Dead".
Either way, I don't foresee a good future for the human race.
Hopefully, in some parallel universe, humans have avoided this fate, and are continuing the trajectory of the Enlightenment, and will proceed to exploring the stars, going where no one has gone before.
