People will continue to believe that there are only two potential solutions to any problem.
Media will continue to put forth narratives that define personality through consumerism. People will accept these narratives as normative values, and work harder to buy more things.
Corporations will try to increase profits, reduce costs, and increase productivity. They will say things have always been this way. People will continue to accept workplace demands, and believe that their failures to meet productivity goals are their fault, while their social relationships go away. Like the NFL's foray into primary school education, we will see more brands that try to sell a wraparound "lifestyle".
Using social issues, people will be pitted against one another. While they are distracted, congress will pass laws that benefit whoever can afford the right lobbyist. People will not understand why they are angry.
Because society likes to medicalize social problems, psychiatry will slowly get more and more patients. Large groups will "acquire" small groups, and force increased productivity and use of "extenders". CMS will eventually decrease rates to the intersection of operating cost, and then no outpatient place will take it.
You know... pretty much how Japan ended up.
