Our descent to 3d world status is accelerating.
Just as a plaurality of the third world is rising out of third world status. At the end of the 21st century, the hipster youths of china, India and Africa who could never be bothered with knowing anything that happened before 2080 would laugh in contemptuous dismissal at the any suggestion that the backward theocratic hellhole of midlatitude North America may ever have had any pretense to international significance in science, economy or geopolitics since, like, that Spanish Magellan dude. Or was that Colombo.
