Very interesting post, I enjoyed reading it.
I do not think there is a clear future - one that can predict now.
People say you should learn from history, so it does not repeat itself, In practice, this does not happen, We will continue to make the same mistakes only in other ways.
Regarding the current approach to information (in any way)With regard to the current approach to information (in any way)
People are becoming more educated and ask more questions - I think it's a good thing.

A very astute observation! In fact I almost included Santayana’s quote in the post. I think we keep repeating the past because we don’t understand the problem. It’s like not knowing what causes the disease. As I like to say, if you believe disease is caused by witchcraft, you burn witches. If you believe disease is caused by microorganisms you wash your hands. One belief causes enormous human suffering and doesn’t work. The other causes no suffering and does work.

It’s important to get our beliefs aligned with reality.

I agree with you completely
