The future soon

I'm hoping that NP-complete problems are efficiently solvable, but I think it is more likely that the "obviously crucial in retrospect" item will win. In fact, it's nearly guaranteed to be true, since only ten other options are specified. (And it's unclear how combinations -- like "some 22nd-century people say that malevolent AI has taken over" -- would be characterized on this chart.)
