I think the Costco Idiocracy scene is probably going to be the most prescient portrayal of the future: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdNmOOq6T8Y

Trantor is the seat of a galactic empire with thousands if not millions of planets supplying its population. Skynet by Haliburton-Costco-TraderJoes will eat the world long before we're interplanetary.

Idiocracy is a rare example of something that is aging like cheese instead of milk.

That’s clever, but I think it’s just us that’s aging. When you’re young and dumb and full of… optimism, you don’t really notice how fucked up everything and everyone is. It just hasn’t sunken in yet.

You sound like you could use a vacation, or just a walk in the forest, or maybe some free time, or being blunt, oral attention from another.
