I've been thinking about roughly this question a lot the past few weeks. My best guess is the end of sexual fidelity and/or self modification to remove sexual jealousy. Were I to be frozen and then thawed, and find that poly was now the norm I would honestly be disgusted and afraid. The kind of love that I had hoped and dreamed of would be effectively dead. None the less, I know that even with our current mind design there are people today who are poly and seem very happy with it. It seems at least plausible that without the complication of jealousy, romantic love could be that much more Fun.
I don't want this to happen, not at all, but if forced to make a guess, that would be mine.

Heh. When I was religious I would have predicted, with some sadness, that in the future everyone would be atheist.
Did this tip you off that maybe atheism was true or what you really believed? Do you think in hindsight that it should have?
It certainly should have tipped me off. But my mind conscientiously avoided that chain of thought. It was not until I read the Sequences that I realized what was going on.
