Lots of people hate the way China does things (including me) but they have a long history of "harmoniously" controlling large populations and probably have learned a thing or two. So my guess is the future consists of more "harmonizing" globally. Which I don't like, largely because it's opportunity for corruption, but the cost of that might ultimately be less than the cost of the current free for all. In some ways I feel like we are living in the twilight of a form of savage freedom. Which I personally relish because it's what I'm used to. I imagine for some the transition will be similar to what happened to Aboriginal peoples throughout history. "You mean I have to wear pants and show up at 8AM for school every day? Are you crazy? That's horrid! Why would anyone do that? I certainly won't be!". "Yes, but then you'll have all the food you can eat and will never be cold!". "Eh, I don't know. I'd rather do what I want and go hungry sometimes. No deal!" "Ok, now you are causing problems for others who want to have all the food _they_ can eat. Look here, now see this gun?"
