Yes, that’s true.
I’ve been poking through the bars at a prophecy enthusiast. Did you know our current drought (?) and the spawning of the 13-year cicadas indicate the end of the world? But honestly, it’s not that fun because they’re in such a fog.
Not so. Darks and I are conversant with all end-of-the-world scenarios, having been instrumental in developing them, and this isn't one of them.
As a budding prophecy enthusiast myself, being an erstwhile science fiction writer, I would posit that many unbelievable things still have to come to fruition, in the "dogs and cats living together" type of situation.
F'r'instance, do you imagine that all sexual deviancy that is currently viewed as unthinkable, unimaginable, and unlikely has yet been invented? Not by a long shot.
For guidance, consider that most taboos have a modicum of science behind them; practical reasons for the stern suggestions of what denotes proper behavior. Once that science has developed, and the basis for the taboo understood, the reason for its continued existence becomes moot.
So, any taboos you're not particularly fond of? They could be heading for the ash-heap.
Larry Niven is the prophet here, having suggested Rishathra as a means of currency. Obviously far-seeing. In a modern society, with the ability to replicate almost anything for almost nothing, novelty is the only item worth something.
And besides that, we're still waiting for our flying cars, anti-gravity, and electrical energy too cheap to meter.
There are Easter Eggs out there, like super-conductivity, lasers, blue LEDs, electronic kissing (to keep it polite), and others I'm not allowed to mention because of the Time Police scrutiny.
We haven't found all of them yet.
