undoing eternal truth

Using the past to predict the future is a previously sound method that is increasingly less so. I heard last night that we should take comfort in the way that things always find a way of working themselves out. This was in regard to the weight of humanity on the earth towards the middle of this century. Well, things may work themselves out or they may not. Caution should be used in loking to the past. Do these analogies hold true?

nanotechnology is to this century what computers are to the last

superhumans will be to humans what humans are to chimps

we will overcome these obstacles just like we always have

cyborg extensions will be like eyeglasses or the invention of writing

i will die just like everyone else has in the entire history of the world

What's implied is a belief in some universal law or deity that will put everything into balance, like there is some sort of nature that we cannot step out of. We can't step out of the laws of nature, true, but we can put things seriously out of balance.

We have never been here before, history is doing something never seen before and things that have always been true will not always be true.
