The question we should all be asking ourselves is...
...what will the Wakeful Transgressive Youth of 2050 hate us for?
The Red Queen's Race of social progress will not suddenly stop once the current generation of old grey men is gone. I can imagine any number of issues, from bodily autonomy to neurotypology, that will keep us fighting amongst ourselves for centuries.
Age and progress will get you too. So. What's going to make the kids of 2050 shake their heads at you and curse?
@zebratron2084 This too shall pass.

@zebratron2084 OMG, you Postfurries! How could you have made such non-biodegradable bodies???
Every single time you changed OCs or had a whim, another plastic/rubber/PVC/styrofoam/nanotech empty husk of a body you just threw away like refuse! DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG THOSE WILL BE THERE WITHOUT ROTTING???
There is an entire island just floating out there made of twisted limbs and bodies and tendrils and heads and... yes, it now is used as housing for transient AIs, but THAT'S NOT THE POINT!!!

(The point of the above is that being the Good Guys is not a fixed status. The board of this bizarre sociocultural strategy game moves constantly underneath our feet.
If there's one thing I learned from Buddhism, it's that things like Enlightenment, Virtue, and Social Justice are as relative and unfixed points as everything else in this cosmos-- and if you believe it has ever become inherent and final within you, you are either a bodhisattva or simply misinformed.)
