I think we just only recently have a privilege to be able to ponder on it. 100 years ago kids were working in some factory since 10 yo everyone was too busy with just surviving. Of course that only applies to the 10%? of the privileged part of the world too.

I think this era is brief and soon the climate change dark ages will come back again for us so that we revert to the more basic maslow pyramid fundaments. Which is pretty sad.

I hope for nuclear fusion infinite energy breakthroughs that will forever secure our individualistic low efficient lifestyles.
