That's very optimistic. There are are two pretty likely outcomes: humans will solve our problems, bring about peace, colonize Mars and voyage out into space ... or... we go extinct. We might waver between tech and stoneage for a bit with some war, but eventually we're likely to converge on one of those two.

Looking at humanity today .. I'm thinking we'll go extinct. Love your loved ones. Don't spent too much time in the office. Life is too short to not really live, cause there's a good chance literally no one will remember us a million years from now.

At the end were just apes with super computers. 100-500 years is not a long time.

The fact that ohur president in 2017 constantly throws out threats of nuclear war on a mass communication platform and yet has a sizable support says humans are fundamentally flawed. Just needs a few bad actors at the top and we'd be over.
