What will the earth will look like in the future?

What is considered taboo today but will look ridiculous in future, the way it was once taboo to say earth is round?

  • We can laugh about many taboos of past centuries, but in their times they were serious enough to cause bloodshed. What are the things that we are very touchy about today, but in future it will all look silly?

  • Answer:

    One issue is that with modern communication, there's a forum for competing views.  Anything that is taboo has it's own subculture where it's not taboo, but it's encouraged.  For example, most people see the health problems with anorexia, but there are pro-ana websites that encourage these beliefs.  People can find support for almost any strange beliefs.

Agree with that due to modern communication, there's now a forum for competing views and each taboo can have it's passionate followers and defendants. No taboo is presently known to be universal. Also, taboos do not bring as much violence today as they used to be. So, we should probably use a milder word than taboo. Here are some examples of beliefs which in future may be seen as characteristic of our times. (1) The concept of nationality - my country, right or wrong and anyone who is anti-national is a pariah. Even those who criticise their own nations detest being labeled anti-national. Future generations may wonder, why didn't people hold the label more proudly. (2) Dietary laws guiding what food can be consumed, like vegetarianism, kosher and halal or not consumed - human cheese or marijuana for example. (3) Homosexuality (and few other forms of sexual relationships) - still considered taboo in many societies and is biased against in most (4) Abortion - still considered taboo by many (5) Tampering with dead human bodies
