If I would need to make a prediction I still believe Kaplan's scenario is very plausible.

Scenario
Had enough of the old lonesome-and-blue scenario?
Up for a shot at the old I-love-you scenario?
Man enough to leave your comfort zone
in the good old get-drunk-and-screw scenario?
Let's be real. Love hurts. Even you, you stud, you.
Sure you can handle the old boo-hoo scenario?
Don't even try to guess what she really wants;
get ready for the old you-don't-have-a-clue scenario.
Tell her, "I'll always honor your personhood."
What's more of a drag than the old I'm-a-person-too scenario?
It's never not a good time to say, "My bad."
Don't lean too hard on the old I-never-knew scenario.
Caught in a little white lie? You're in deep shit
if you trapped yourself in the old I-swear-it's-true scenario.
Make sure she's down with each new trick in the sack
or you'll run smack into the old that's-taboo scenario.
Like what you're getting, but not sure she's The One?
You can string her along with the old don't-rock-the-canoe scenario,
but sooner or later it's gut-check time in Texas
and there's no way around the old we're-through scenario
unless you've got the cojones to suck it up
and go all in on the old I-do scenario.
Don't say Eric never told you: lovers
and poets live or die by the old make-it-new scenario.

This is actually a very important principle that science is learning about large systems like evolution and that futurists are learning about anticipating human society: just because a future scenario is plausible doesn't mean we can get there from here.

I shall go further and say that even if an examination of the past could lead to any valid prediction concerning man's future, that prediction would be the contrary of reassuring.

Red Light Signal
Red Light Signal
A charming scenario of the evening,
Day and night were making love at infinite.
Sun’s face was looking like red chicks of a shy girl at the sudden presence of her beloved.
Scenario was looking like a red light signal at crossing.
This nature’s red signal advises every one to rest in the night.
Chirping of birds was over
and they went to their nests.
What a fantastic scenario was this?

A Friend To You
===========
Show me your fear, causing the hate
Look at myself
I hear your words, anticipate
I am your wealth
The one who tells you when & when not to conform
The one you cannot see
I am to you
The friend you'll never know
Each phase of life
A new scenario
I think your thoughts, I see your dreams
I speak the truth
I watch you move, collaborate
I am your youth
The one who tells you what is right and what is wrong
The one you want to be
I am to you
The friend you'll never know
Each phase of life
A new scenario
We are one, you can confide in me
We are one, you cannot hide from me
I am to you
The friend you'll never know
Each phase of life
A new scenario
I am to you
Each phase of life

Is This The Year The World Will End?
The Mayans knew a thing or two.
They forecast that the world would end
In two thousand and ten plus two.
I do not think we can depend
On their prediction coming true..
There have been prophecies before
Predicting that the end was due,
I do not there will be more.
I do not claim to prophecies
I have no faith in those who do.
My world will end the day I die.
I think the same applies to you.
I could be wrong quite possibly
It may be true the Mayans knew.
Enough to state with certainty.
That their prediction would come true.
The Mayans were astronomers
They left behind a legacy
In the form of calendars
What they believed would come to be.
Is this the year of destiny?
We have no choice but wait and see.
I think that very probably.
We’ll carry on regardlessly.
It just another prophecy.
Though based on erudition.
The Mayans thought mistakenly.
Would herald the destruction.
Of everything and everyone.
We hope that it will prove to be
another failed prediction.
Like every other prophecy.
What fate decrees will come to be.
The world is bound to end some day.
But when remains a mystery.
No man alive can solve today.

Creativity is much better when it's free. Someone can take it and sell it if that's what it needs, and from that standpoint, you have to have a label. If you could make your music and just give it away and somehow make a living - that would be the best scenario.

Plausible Perfidy
I looked at her and cried,
What did she have in mind,
To console her I tried,
To understand, she denied,
My tears never dried,
She hated me, I implied
Tormented from the inside,
To justify myself I decide,
Hoping our lips could collide
Our hearts she wanted to divide,
On her, I still relied
I made a mistake yet justified
Plausible Perfidy
Did I ever go away,
Being there night and day,
Forgive me, I went astray,
To love me again, you may,
Never again shall I delay,
Or make my love a relay,
Understand me this once,
Come again lets dance,
The lost time, , deceitful
The faded moments, , unfaithful
Rejuvinating myself in you
A choice to stand in the queue,
Understand me, sweet one
I made a mistake, yet justified
Plausible Perfidy
