Abstract
In the year 2000 man is likely to enjoy food, warmth, fresh air, a home, a little property, companionship of a spouse and children as he has done for 50,000 years. He may not take pleasure in working, in spite of a decrease in the hardships, monotony, time and postponements (even though temporary) of other, perhaps more pleasurable activities which work imposes, but he will nevertheless still have to engage in it. Man will continue to enjoy being busy in a few or in many different ways, depending on his overall intelligence, talent and diversity of talent, and he will continue to prefer work he likes. His interest in the future may have extended its time span and scope. Man’s interest in the future has always been based at least in part on an instinctive concern for his own children (that is, provided he neither hates them nor is indifferent to them), whom he watches grow up and gradually learns to expect to survive him. Even in the year 2000 the majority of men will not be indifferent to their own children or hate them.
