So it seems that "consumer production" has been in a bear market since 1988? I guess since then the top world industries, corporations, and conglomerates have been milking this world for all of the resources that it can, profiting off of the baby boomers and millennial's alike, thus becoming the "elite" or the "have's".

But what happens when the "human market" bottoms out, and the "elite" have made their fortunes and have set new investments toward the artificial-human? Makes sense to me. Strong Artificial Intelligence is the future whether we like it or not, and trans-humanism would be the next logical step of "evolution". For the "have's", of course.

Think maybe someone or something will make a huge investment in us? The "have not's"?

Interesting data OP, good post!
