Caitlin Johnstone, views of the future

Caitlin Johnstone has recently written (yet another) essay of great importance, ending with this profound observation:

The humanity of the not-too-distant future operates very differently from the humanity of today, either because it learned to work in cooperation with itself and with its ecosystem or because it’s an extinct species, yet most visions for our future imagine we’ll remain the same. We need to abandon the notion that the humanity of the future will move and operate in more or less the same way as the humanity of today, just with better technology. That is the very least likely of all possible outcomes.

It is so normal for the world just to ignore major realities because they are too big to comprehend. I commend to you the rest of her essay.
