people who say an RBE cant happen ever.... what if humans change over time, does that matter?

Humans change very very slowly.
Did you know that bananas are the number one fruit sold in the world?
We are basically still monkeys...
It will take hundreds of thousands of years before we evolve some more.
Well, unless we geneticaly modify ourselfs. The question is, what will those changes be?
If people will change themselfs to be more greedy bastards then no, RBE can't happen.
For RBE, people need to be more cooperative and less selfish. This is a chance noone will take freely.

ok yeah good points.

trends do seem to be changing though unless im mistaken this is what i see & please correct me if im wrong:

- people understand with more detail than ever there doesnt need to be such a huge gap between rich & poor in order for society to function.

- people are less interested in material things vs 10,20,30 years ago etc (houses, cars, jewellery, objects etc)

- people seem to be more interested in science & technology

- people are less interested in religion or things which cant be explained scientifically (yes religion is still a big deal worldwide but i think science is winning the battle)

- geeks are actually flourishing in many more areas. females are now more attracted to men with brains vs brawn

- people are concerned about the planet & energy sources more than ever.

- people are fed up with governments & politicians

These trends all lead me to believe some big changes will be happening on planet earth sometime soonish.

Could be anarcho capitalism coming soon maybe.

What about some open source resource management system which allocates base needs of humanistic psychology pyramid? so food, housing, water & nothing more. Then rest of society functions via anarcho capitalism for example. This would mean we would be trusting successful people to not mess with the base infrastructure of the resource management system. This only works if its more profitable to keep the base resource management system vs manipulating it. edit: (not manipulating it, destroying it, manipulation could not be a major problem)
