In my opinion, the next great civilization will be decentralized. And you? How do you think it will be?

space civilization / renewed space race, with those on Earth left to thrive in a more decentralized manner. that's kind of my "best chance" scenario for us ;)

Maybe a civilization of robots with humans as pets.

The only great civilizations that can exist are the ones where individuals are allowed free speech. This is what happened in greece, it's what happened in the enlightenment. When you can say "wrong things", you can create new explanations and introduce new ideas.

Our current enlightened era will hopefully not collapse like the greek one did (the dark ages, where the church dictated what could be said). But it might. A lot of people want to tell you "You aren't allowed to say that!".

Marxists, cults (eg. islam). Neo-feminists (i.e. also marxists). But i'm hopeful our current society is stronger than these primitive foolish instincts.

I believe in anarchism, but I think humanity needs to evolve before it can be truly successful.

I used to be a left anarchist then a right one now I'm something more weird. I feel where you're coming from. How do you mean evolve? Humans are perfect. We can literally do anything we set out minds to

To evolve in the sense of knowing how to live with the differences of others. The key word is respect. The problem with anarchism is other people, if they were all like me we could live in anarchism 😂

I think that early bitcoin adopters will hold a majority of the wealth in the next great civilization.
