Dream of a Cliffside University
University Campus. Parking Lot. Bike rear-ends a car. Bike Trail. River Gorge. Cliff. Mention of other "Okanagan" campus. Grass fields.

Belief Systems
As far as Western belief systems go, why would the Middle East be more important than Mesoamerica, for instance? (I read Aztec by Gary Jennings.) It's easy to grow in a religion into which one was born, but it's more difficult to explore other belief systems away from one's familiar milieu.
Future Space
Space exploration in the medium future will still be mostly done by robot probes as it is now. Manned exploration will be at a snail's pace. Colonization of Luna and Mars looks iffy in the medium future. As the global population ages and shrinks, there will be less incentive, perhaps, for space expansionism. But I predict there will be outposts, like lighthouses beyond our planet. The Earth will start to think of itself as a small village in an isolated valley. Hmmm.
Non-Expansionist Future
The previous centuries saw the expansionist philosophy unfold, but with a shrinking population in the future, would the world philosophy change from expansionism to sustainability? Perhaps, humanity will be reaching a point of maturity.
Shrinking Populations
As Japan's population ages, the nation's population starts to shrink. Japan's condition today is the world's future. The world population will plateau at some point and then start to dip. As countries become more industrialized and educated, people will want less children. Undoubtably, the world economy will be affected. The shrinking youth will have to support the masses of aged people.
