And powering the transformations will be creative individuals, not world superpowers or global corporations.

It's going to take someone to make all of the power to run those robots and 3-D printers.

It's going to take someone to service all of those robots and 3-D printers.

It's going to take someone to source, transport, and refined the resources used by those robots and 3-D printers.

And someone's still going to need to produce food and drink. And handle waste processing. And negotiate real estate (through barter, purchase, or lease agreement) to find room to live.

Then there are the matters of policing the violent, exploitive, and thieves in society.

The more things change, the more they will stay the same.

Without potent new energy sources, there will be no future. The last 40 years in the US alone has seen no congruent, consistent and rational energy policy. How will asteroids and the like be mined and the goods transported? Who/Which nation will claim ownership of said asteroids?

How is any of this going to happen with the Luddite’s and Eco-Freaks on the Left? You can’t have massive change on this short a time-frame without massive economic dislocation and societal stress.

Not to mention the judgment that God is about to mete out upon the world for all the slaughtered infants; 60 million, just in the U.S. of A.
