Too far left is unrealistic and evil.
Too far right could be realistic, and is fucking scary.
North is where we're going, and my more honest fear.
South is where I want to stay.
I live in the center.
I say we use technology to fix everything. You got starving kids, but you don't have the resources to feed them? Make the resources to feed them. Create a fusion reactor, use said fusion reactor to power glowlights and aquaponics in a large building. Blam, free food forever.
In fact, we could do lots of things like that with fusion power, so it would be pretty awesome, solve a lot of problems that way. Could make energy intensive materials like carbon fiber or lithium ion for their substrate cost, less than a dollar per pound, make all kinds of super materials, go to space easily, on top of more widely available materials like we have now; more food, purify water easier (filters take energy to create or operate, boiling it takes energy etc., could even purify salt water), gay sex, the whole 9 yards.
