History, yes but not the future. That was mostly the point I was trying to make. As fruitless (in lack of a better word) of an argument as it is, you can't know about the future.
Hell, there's a ton about history we don't know either.

Hate to break it to you, Oster, but looking at history provides a means for
guessing what we can expect in the future. Humanity builds on its own history. Nothing can become without first considering what came before. Light bulbs were the result of hundreds of failed experiments to produce an electric lamp to replace oil lamps and candles. Oil lamps and candles stemmed from torches. Torches stemmed from the first cave man to ever build a fire.
To extend that to humanity, we have an unchanging history of greed, power lust, and feelings of superiority to everything that's not part of our in-group, which leads to war, grasping for power, and oppression. Unless we do a 180 on a global level, by which I mean no human alive can have an ounce of ambition, desire, or group identity, a Utopian anarchy will never happen.
