By 2030, I do not expect to see the world operating anywhere near like it is today. It will be totally unrecognizable.

I think it will be much much slower. Most people feel comforted that a government is there to hold their hand. Trying to change a culture in the workplace is hard enough, but trying to change the culture of the entire world is going to be nearly impossible. I was watching a video on people affected by the government shutdown and almost everyone said they are working for the government because they thought it was a guaranteed job with almost no risk of being fired.

While I think it's the way the world needs to head, I'm not optimistic enough to think we will see that in my lifetime, and I should have another good 50 years left before i pass away knock on wood.
