I expect that financial and military industrial complex elites will continue to increase their control of western democracies. I expect more income inequality with a nice fat layer of well off people at the top, people with solid middle class lifestyles or better, and a larger lower class with a mostly decent life from some wealth distribution but a life without many of the good material things like travel and sending their kids to good schools. I do think that technology will mostly solve the worse environmental problems eventually. As a liberal, I joined the World Economic Forum to better understand what the Davos billionaire club is up to. I didn’t realize that they have used a decades long program to find the brightest young people, many who have high government and tech startup positions. Their trial commercials like “in the future you will own nothing and be very happy” are good indicators of their view of a planned society. All that said, overall I am optimistic about the future. I believe in the resilience of humans and I can live with the elites having won the class wars.
