I had a conversation recently with someone convinced that we don't want the world to change all that much. I don't think that's true. I suspect that when you average out all of our desires, the end result won't look that different from what we have now, but every single person I know wants something that feels nothing like the world we have now. For one thing, it's run by people who know what the fuck they're doing and aren't blindly driving us off a cliff. That's the thing, our world is going to need to be run by people who know that the world they live in isn't the sum total of reality, and that isn't the case right now. More than that, when we rebuild reality, we're going to discover that we're not who we thought we were. Things are going to change a lot, and I don't think even the people in charge fully grasp what's about to happen.
