That's not true. It's very easy to predict things that won't come to pass. Nevertheless, you both seem to be saying a similar thing; technological advances will reduce poverty, and decrease barriers, which will lead to the diminished role of nations. That said, I agree with you that it won't come from any human desire to be more empathetic. Much more likely, technology and surplus will probably just enable it. A good while ago, I wrote that this was already coming to pass for the very wealthy: The empathy will be a while in coming.if you set a prediction for a long enough set of time, then it is bound to come true.
