Possible futures include, but are not limited to: every human occupies a small piece of a continuous tape backup of humanity's collective neural load after a particularly disastrous Denny's menu "innovation" causes a collective and involuntary addiction crisis that terminates all life, or possibly the continuing globalization and intermarriage trend results in a seventeen billion-person population of individuals, all named Greg, and all genetically identical, leading to a total population collapse, or, I guess, the invention of sentient wheat and rice allows for exponential yields of the world's favorite cereal crops and an ethical quandary that divides humanity so extensively that an enormous world war erupts concluding with a morally bankrupt vegan victor class that eschews traditional eating entirely in favor of ingesting powdered mineral extracts and hot recycling. I don't know what will happen, I'm not Nostradamus. But these seem pretty likely to me.
