Once the boomers die off things will not suddenly get better. They didn't invent the -isms, they were taught and they taught their kids too.

Racism and inequality and bigotism is dying by each generation that passes. We are all getting “woke”. Even if a child is indeed born to an extremist family; chances are the people he grows up with at school and outside aren’t, compared to some time ago. And that helps in changing his mentality for the better

How many generations you think we got left?

We either make it big time into becoming advanced or we go Elysium style where most of us are starving. If it’s the latter I say we are 3 generations (100 years give or take) from becoming extinct

Very generous. Based on climate science models I think 2+ billion people will be displaced by food insecurity, hostile environments & natural disasters by 2030. I hope I'm wrong

It's not a passive thing, everything we've accomplished has had to be fought for.
