Did you know it was
predetermined you were going to say that? As was this reply?
Why do you mock the idea that everything is predetermined?
Do you prefer the idea that events some how occur completely at random?
If chance is not merely a lack of information required to calculate the outcome of a situation what is it?
What is the alternative to these options?
As for the future I predict globalisation ends the era of comfort currently enjoyed in the West. I predict global corporate enities becoming far more powerful than goverments (as if some were not already). I also doubt much will be done to help the currently empoverished people of world as this poverty serves as population growth control. I also reckon population control will be employed encouraging all people to have only one or two children and maybe even enforced abortions in cases were people overproduce.
The idea of a peoples revolution will become impossible due to all nations complete dependance on the international business cartels that supply the means to run our economy, that is if national sovreignty even continues to exist in the future. Natural centralisation of power with globalisation will result in one world goverment, even if it does not label itself as such. Privitised armies will become more common, similar to the one that guards the oil investments of the west nations in iraq currently to our political involvement and thus accountability is reduced.
When resources become short their will be mass migration from the third world nations searching for a way to sustain themselves. Imagine what happens when only the developed nations can afford resources such as oil. Food supply will go short and many millions of people will die of starvation.
The rich / poor gap will only grow due the normal working mans complete lack of true utility within the society. Technology will naturally be in the hands of the wealthy meaning advantages such as extended life span and freedom from disease and illness will only benefit the few.
The line between employment and slavery will become very blurred indeed when the only alternative to working is death.
Just as you have now you will have a group of individuals who mass own property and resources and therefore never lose out in any situation, a class of useful individuals under the employment of those who own the world who are allowed a living but artifically prevented from gaining to much wealth as to threaten the established power structure and finally a class of individuals of no real use to the greater whole who often die as a result of this.
or else!!!!
