Just go crazy with it. This is supposed to be fun as well as serious.
I'll start.
Imagine people will live extremely long lives, centuries at least. Do you think this would change the way humans behave? Do you think it'll make us become more rational and less violent, on average(if it ever happens)?
Bold and red mine.

As for your stagnation scenario, I find it ridiculous and baseless.

This is why people don't want to discuss anything with you. You specifically asked questions and then you turn around and insult people when they don't give you a correct answer. Why ask anyone what their thoughts are on what the future might look like if you are going to turn around and call their arguments irrational, ridiculous and baseless. You aren't perfect and you don't have all the correct answers.
FWIW when people ponder about the future it's ALL speculation. No one knows what it holds. Duh.
Picking on someone's ideas and/or arguments is not the same as insulting them. This is a discussion forum. We're supposed to debate and discuss. The person involved specifically took issue with my scenario about the future and failed to provide one of his own instead. Are you suggesting I should agree with him simply because I made the thread?
