i think in 100 years people will look back at 2022 and be even more astonished at how bad our quality of life was than we are looking back at people who lived 1000 years ago

Mostly energy production related or no?

We could live in a world where no one has to work and everyone pursues their passions without fear of not being able to make next rent, or the one after that, but the wealthiest and most powerful will not let that happen through plain old human greed.

Pre-condition for that statement would be that mankind will still exist in 100 years. Despite all the brilliant development we went through hundreds of years humans tend to destroy earth with increasing speed. That is definately correlated with decreasing degree of education.

Agree this is likely, conditional on people existing in 100 years

i think in 2022, 100 years from now, people will look back at us in 1922 and be even more astonished at how bad our quality of life was than we are looking back at people who lived in 1822
