> We (as a society) will keep running on this treadmill until we collapse from exhaustion and hubris. This is false certainty. You don't know what will happen; you haven't even given a handful of possible future scenarios. Society could go on for some time with rising inequality with tragic consequences, sure. Or we could grow out of this phase in hundreds of different ways. Or we could obliterate ourselves in nuclear war. There are many possibilities. Don't fixate on one. Will humanity (or some creation or derivative of ourselves) outlive our solar system? Now _that_ is a fun question to explore.
