A common idea today that will become crazy is diversification. into non essential assets that is.

I agree with prior assertions in reply to my comments that my aggressiveness is out of place, so I will merely pre-emptively mention that the kinder person who will surely come in to explain the severe error you are making is correct.

Perhaps the entire schooling system? Even now, most people seem to believe it is broken or deeply flawed. Definitely one of those legacy systems in need of an update.
I also think that under a Bitcoin standard, debt will be far less common to the point of sounding crazy. Very difficult to pay off your dues in a deflationary environment, and there will be no printers for reckless borrowers.
Oh and people collecting shiny yellow rocks as a store of value. :^)

People preferring to spend 99% of their time looking at stuff from a small digital screen and 1% admiring the world around (nature, delicios food, art, the sky, a concert, animals, other humans, architecture, and so on).

Within 5 years, Americans will believe that COVID restrictions, especially lockdowns, were exclusively Democratic policies, despite the fact that 76% of Republican governors declared lockdowns. I know a Republican in Florida who believes that Florida never had a lockdown, despite the fact that Trump (a Republican) criticized De Santis (a Republican) for ending the lockdown in Florida. You can't end something that never started.

Where do you get that idea? Is it because I don't praise America with my every breath?
I have seen first-hand that most Americans are proudly ignorant of the past, unless a specific historical episode somehow justifies the current propaganda that they absorb from mass media. The few Americans who want to understand history are ignored or called crazy by the rest. Americans deserve every tribulation they experience -- repeating the mistakes of the past is the only just consequence for their pride.

Dawg you just described most countries. Everyone internalizes positive message that aligns with their biases, and maligns those that don’t. Unless a human being can evolve past blindly following their biological programming, it’s human nature

I totally misread this question at first! I was thinking it asked, "What crazy idea today will be commonplace in the future?" rather than the other way around. I'll answer both.
Common today, crazy in future: using cash that's actually made of paper or metal
Crazy today, common in future: (1) never, ever, ever leaving one's home to work, shop, play, interact, work out, etc. but merely logging into the metaverse and (2) everything, everything will be NFT-ified.

common today, crazy in the future: the government has everyone's best interests at heart, would never lie to the people, and the growing centralisation of power and money into very few hands was for our best interests.
