What is awaiting?

Our mediocre political elite
What will be our future? It is always hazardous to predict the decades to come. We are not at a threshold of anything. The current world is not in a situation where one can be that optimist either. There are numerous threats for sure. Probably more so than at anytime in history. There is in engineering something called a breaking point which could apply to anything else than engineering. It's the X whereas equilibrium is achieved before the middle of the X is reached in a given situation which is where things break up.
In today's world there are quite a few instances where the breaking point seems just about to be the norm. There are two main reasons for the current situation as I see it. I could say populism is one and the carelessness of the elites worldwide the other one . There has always been a game going on with world elites. On the one hand they have brought us wars but they also had a minimum of sense to moderate the worst aspect of it all.
At this point in our current history most elites worldwide have abandoned any moral obligation towards the world we live in only to become profiteering moguls detached from any superior aim other than enriching themselves to the rim and beyond. The elites are thus deprived of any will to make the world a better place to live except for their own comfort.
This carelessness has brought populism into the front because there is a sense of irresponsibility from the elites towards the march of the world. Thus we have a great number of monsters at the helm. We can name a few among the worst: Vladimir Putin, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Bashar al-Assad, Kim Jong Un, Hassan Rouhani, Benjamin Netanyahu, even Donald Trump. Through their policies they are jeopardizing the world but it would be too simple to consider them as the only culprits. After all they are only representatives, a reflection of the world we live in which is to say something is not working right.
There are many threats and we are reaching the breaking point on many fronts. On the one hand we have made great progress worldwide on many fronts but we are also regressing in as many. That is where the idea of the breaking point emerges. Will we have the time to avoid the breaking point whereas any sort of progress is ineffective in face of the regress taking place. Nothing is guaranteed in this respect. In fact a clusterfuck could be the result of a staggering amount of evidence. It won't be one or two elements that will make things unmanageable. It will be an acccumalation of bad decisions from many sources.
Many people strongly believe in IA to help us solve our numerous problems. This will not happen. It is only an additional stratum that will probably make life even more complicated for the majority of people who will also be left on the side of the road of the so-called progress. Technology as well as the development of sciences and medicine. has helped us. Greed and lack of humility are among our worst enemies and this will end up being the cause of our own annihilation.
