Liberalism is self-imploding in rage against the Neo-conservative movement, while traditional conservatism is dying from its inherent inertia and sluggish response to a fast-changing world - and both face a failing economy which cannot support either agenda. 

Hopefully, the diametrically-opposed ideologies will just quietly retire without inspiring an all-out civil war, but what follows? 

With the global economy tied to a sinking dollar, and with growing social unrest, political brinksmanship, and declining global productivity eroding confidence in nation-state governance and legacy systems worldwide, how does Earth 2.0 progress beyond the imminent collapse and lack of apparent support for a new empire? 

How does the world re-organize and re-launch to ensure mutual survival and prosperity for all? Are we relegated to embracing the technocracy and the rise of synthetic intelligence - ceding our autonomy to the wisdom of the machine as we become increasingly dependent on systems we no longer understand or can control? 

Who comes to save us? Aliens? 

Is there an ideology that can maintain ubiquitous peace and provide for a thriving population? Is there a world religion that will arise and unify us all? A new King? Or will humanity be forced to evolve into a disciplined society where individual sovereignty is upheld, or a new tribalism? What comes next?
