It is about as realistic as the great technological age of flying cars that awaits us. Or the space colonies we are supposed to have anytime soon now. It just will not happen. Atleast for hundreds of years.
It depends only on our determination to make these things reality.
World State is not a fantasy. Hunter-gatherers lived in communities of at most 150 people. They couldn't imagine a nation-state of 10 or 100 million individuals. Now human genotypes haven't changed so much, but we live in societies this big.
Also, biotechnological moral enhancement will come into play. Noone wants a psychopath child, or a sadistic child, so Dark Triad will be eliminated. Without Dark Triad individuals there will be less potential dictators who might play up ethnocentrism.

Sure, but they don't need to be inherited. I hope there will be more subcultures to choose from, rather than parroting your dad's lifestyle.
Quote:I agree with him though that gay marriage or abortion is not going to be overturned but I would say that people are going to become more centrist rather then right or left wing. People are fed up with the left and more sympathetic to the right these days yet not willing to go down the full conservative path either.
Abortion will probably become obsolete because of improved contraception techniques. LGBT? I believe in a psychoanalytical explanation of these conditions, rather than in a gay gene. So if children grow up in more balanced, more mature environment with good role models of both sexes, the number of gays and transgenders might go down.
Quote:Right now people are still entertained but give it 100 years and when the current technology becomes the same old, they will start to dream of more fantastical destructive ways to elevate the boredom. As is history.
Our descendants might fight a war in virtual reality if they feel like fighting. But I think they will prefer to alleviate boredom by exploring the Cosmos.
