This talk, from Juan Rodriguez via TED Talks, is pretty fascinating, as a rational account of the coming crash and post-crash, which he calls a re-boot.
It is interesting to compare and contrast different versions of the coming reboot, to see how it's interpreted in different metaphors, especially considering none of them are going to be a hundred percent right. (That is, the future will lie somewhere between all of them.)
His idiom is fairly close to what I'm fairly sure is going to happen: in the short term, we're going to have a huge SNAFU. But we will emerge an entirely different animal, in a very different world. I do not share Juan Rodriguez's marriage to the objective sciences, however, and so I put the emphasis on a leap in consciousness, which you can find evidence for all over the web (click on this Peter Russell talk to see an example of what I'm talking about- it's quite clear and talks science, so don't be afraid.) Science is, of course, part of the future. It's just not the whole story.
People in enough numbers are starting to directly experience adual reality, that is, they are coming into direct contact with the ground of being, that pretty soon there should be a tipping point.
Bioengineering, coupled with robotics, has become sophisticated enough that we are coming to a tipping point.
The similarity in these two, the thread that ties them together, is that we're entering an age of conscious control of our reality. Now, control is a sticky word, and I don't mean by it what a ten-year old would, it is a much more detached control, one that requires a relinquishment of the smaller and petty identification of self that we usually think of as being "controlling." In any case, hold onto your butts. Things are already starting to get interesting. Aren't they?
