It seems to me that there is a better than even chance that it will be seen by them as part of the evolution of a new general understanding of the essential role of cooperation in the emergence of new levels of complexity; and will be seen as a significant factor in the emergence of the age of universal abundance and security and freedom that they exist in.
And there is still too high a probability that the old competitive ways will result in our extinction, and an absence of historians.
I am cautiously optimistic for the former, and seriously concerned about the latter.
