We’ll see what that looks like in the face of demographic decline and increasingly expensive oil.
It’s possible that some kind of technological miracle rescues us, but it seems more likely to me that we follow the pattern of catabolic collapse seen in the Bronze Age, Easter Island, and Europe in the Dark Ages. Civilization may rebound, sure, but humans have a history of overextension followed by decline (as do all animals).
A very small number of people are taking (and often wasting) the majority of the worlds wealth and resources and harming everyone else in the process. We could probably stave off that decline for a lot longer if we did something about the leeches accelerating our collapse.
If pituitary driven impulse models are representative, than current trends of exploiting generations is provably unsustainable.

I wouldn't worry about it, and have a wonderful day. =3
