One doesn't have to be a strong Singulatarian to recognize that projecting 4000 years into the future is not the best idea. There is a non-trivial probability that sophonts of the future will perfectly well believe that Man had the atomic bomb in 1950, what with that being a standard part of the ambient personality/memory matrix available for free for all pet paleohumans, post-human-based personality megaliths, retro-humans, poingtarees, and all others of sophont class H1C except the tridilons.

I know this isn't really meant as a projection into the future, and I suppose I'm just riffing off that point to observe it really isn't the best jump off point for an essay, since it distracts you with a lot of other things like the temptation to observe how this is the worst time in the history of Man to try to predict the future.
