When you look at things like...
The elections
The wars in the Middle East
The gun control issues
The fight between Government and Americans (Bundys)
The crashing economy
The financial bubbles
And lots more
... do you really thing there will be a 2040 or 2050?
Sure why not, we survived WW1 and WW2. We are surviving the spraying program and global warming, as well as the Fukushima meltdowns.
By 2040 we'll have built up such a powerful immune system I doubt and radiation from the Trump wars will hurt us. 2050 will be the second boomer generation getting born.
There was not the communication and the transportation back in WW2 that we have today. The playing field has completely changed. For example, back in WW2 times, the sheiks of the ME were little better than primitive savages regarding technology. Now they have some of the best mobile phone uplinks in the world.
The people will crash the bubbles. The fact of the Bundy jury win is showing that the people are starting to crash Government. The fact of ME wars shows that WW3 is near.
Nobody knows what will happen, but we are headed for a showdown where fiat will collapse, and much of the science investigation will collapse without it.
Things will be completely different from today by 2040 and 2050... provided nukes haven't destroyed us all.
