Excellent point. While we can "guess" as to what the future would look like, the implications are so far-reaching that it's impossible to predict it with any certainty.

I lean more toward utopia than dystopia, because what Johnny proposes is conscious behavior.

Steve Pavlina has thoroughly demonstrated that living consciously has positive repercussions (i.e. veganism is good for the planet, etc. etc. etc.).
