Exposing children to social media.
Putting your kids on social media publicly.
The kids that grew up with it will probably see the harm caused and not want to pass that on.
Hopefully tipping.
Hopefully for profit health care, but I'm not holding my breath.
May not be widely accepted, but it is accepted in a good chunk of the world.
- Being a Bigot
- Being Racist
- Being Sexist
Bigotry is still active, just different groups. Racism is definitely still active, just different groups (look up stats on violence against Asians or their chances of getting into the Ivy Leagues). Human nature is so strong, I admire and doubt your optimism.
Sexism being actively obsolete in 20 years is possible and would be a good start.
Yes, I know they are still active, that's kind of the point I was making. I'm saying if things go as they look to be, then hopefully they won't be in 20 or so years. If they are just as active as they are now, or even more so, then hopefully asteroid 2044 takes care of the planet once and for all.
Yeah, I don't see any of those things changing. I've read too many history books and they're traits of our species, not minor blips.
Well, if they don't then the world can burn, and I hope it does if not.
They won't.
The traits you describe are as old as the human race itself, and even with the vast knowledge we now possess, they're still endemic to the human experience. They're built into our DNA.
Then the world deserves to burn.
Meat eating is a possibility. I don’t see it being universal, but veganism is on the ride and it makes sense to a lot of people.
It's just not sustainable. Lab-grown meat is here, it just needs to get to scale, get a bit cheaper and boom. Farming and killing animals for food will be obsolete.
When the quality and cost of labgrown meat matches the real thing - we’ll see the tables turn. Especially if they’re able to produce various *cuts^ and styles.

How much sedentary time we spend in front of screens. We already know it is ruining our eyes and our sleep cycles.
I think it depends more on what you're doing on those screens. I regularly download books from my local library to read on my phone. People used to read paper books, newspapers, and magazines all the time. Same shit, different means of consumption.
Driving ICE cars.
Driving ~~ICE~~ cars.
Yes, I agree on this with you, like cars are extremely inefficient way of transportation, especially considering how overcrowded our cities are and the general trend of making bigger and bigger cars that take even more space on the streets, on the parkings, etc.

20 years ago was 2003... any idea what was socially acceptable then that isn't now?
Not much, really. 20 years isn't a lot of time.
Think 50 years, or 100 years.
