As a controversial idea intended to provoke thought and not knee jerk political reactions, consider that in human history, much as we are in a bubble of fossil fuel burning, we are in a bubble of equality. If in the infinite oscillation of all human activity, is there any reason to exclude the past being the future? Is a future stone age impossible because we have run out of stone? A common theme in ancient history was omnipotent leader getting pissed off at the sea (for sinking a fleet, or just because he's a jerk, it don't matter why) so he walks out in the sea and whips it or orders his army to slash at the sea. No matter how much you might dislike the idea of the end of the equality bubble, disliking it really really hard is about as effective at preventing the future as whipping the sea is at teaching hurricanes not to vaporize naval fleets. Hey those blue collar jobs are going away, best get used to it, learn something new. Hey that human equality thing is going away, best get used to it, learn something new. Even analogies don't work. You can say we learned the technologies of freedom and equality and they only increase over time because... well because of luck so far. Just like we learned the technology of burning coal or slavery, we learned it and it can only increase over time because ... well it did out of luck until it stopped. One's gone, the other's starting to go away, maybe everything in this paragraph is over, eventually. I don't like it, isn't a valid rebuttal. Personally I don't like it, but I'm willing to devils advocate it a bit and its one of those things where if your mind is open and not dogmatically shut you can't discount the highly likely (but not 100%) probability. You can tell mother nature "we must have a solution meeting my criteria A B and C" and if those are unsolvable, she is quite unconstrained in actual practice.
