This can be a vast and complicated topic to discuss and start, so I'll help it along.

So in any case, with all the rantings that the world will end by a higher power or our own hands, all the disasters that keep happening over and over again, the looming sense of depression and economic failure, the wars we never seem to finish, etc., what do you think the future looks like?

Do you think we can move forward if we stay like this? Why or why not?
And how is it possible to move any faster than we are now?
What can we do as humans to make things better for our future?
What will ultimately destroy us?

Give me your opinion on one or more of these.
