I blame the fact that the entire institution of education refuses to evolve in a time where technology is rapidly evolving. That especially goes for colleges all over the country that have hyperinflated tuition and loans that most students can't pay back. It needs to come to an end and it needs to have its head smashed on the pavement to learn.
Mental renaissance on the horizon will clear all that up. We are holding on to far too many institutions and just plain outdated ways of thinking that are slowing us down as a race of beings. I can't be the only one that feels that something just has to shake. And it will. Those that can't adapt will get knocked over and left behind. History has shown it.......
Some predictions :
Brick and mortar institutions for education will go the way of the dinosaurs ie a push for online schooling from all levels of grades K-12 through College. This is already in motion honestly. Hence this thread's subject title.
Religion will go the way of the dinosaurs. This will be a tough one for a lot of folks. But the push towards science is getting stronger daily. The internet has accelerated this. A common theme in renaissance is technological advances accelerating certain aspects of it.
Relationships will become more virtual. This is a lowkey form of population control. All this online porn. You just know someone is sitting around wondering how they can take it to the next level. You can interact with it of course! It's coming. The animatronics movement will pick up steam and an offshoot will be interactive porn. Kind of like a next level blow up doll. It'll be so real some weak dudes will swear off women forever. Like I said, lowkey form of population control. 7 billion plus? We don't have the resources to keep expanding our numbers like that forever....which leads me to....
Post-Work Society. Basically this is a society where full time jobs take a back seat to reduced hours and mass layoffs. I'm hoping this one doesn't come about. Reason being is because inflation will keep things from getting cheaper. So folks will have to work more than one job due to lack of hours to make ends meet. shyt will be modern day slavery. Some people are already experiencing this. But it will likely become much more rampant. I don't wish it but all the indicators say otherwise. Wal Mart is lowkey showing businesses the way. Also, notice how we have healthcare through the government now? Now the employers don't have to offer it. Employers offering it is actually discouraged, right? This gives them free reign to bs with your hours. Wal Mart keeps employees below that 40 hour mark so they don't have to give health care. I tell you they are laying out a blueprint.
That mental renaissance. Some parts of it will be great and some parts will suck to no end....never pleasing across the board.
