Less a prediction and more like a hope/wish:

I hope some worldwide conversation takes place over the structure of human society and our endgame.

We have too much crap that's not conductive to a pleasant experience for any sentient existence. Things that used to make sense or were necessary once are no longer so, or don't have to be:

• The need for everybody to "work."

• Survival-of-the-fittest mentality (e.g. no safety networks for people who fall on hard times.)

• Every nation maintaining their own army.

• The obligation to remain in relationships you do not enjoy.

• Repression of emotional and sexual expression.

• Mass breeding and slaughter of animals for consumption.
