The year is 4000, we have stopped climate change and are at early stages of colonising mars, society is post scarcity where most stuff is practically free, housing is affordable now, the middle east is still embroiled in a war to this very day.
I think if we weren’t so dependent on oil we probably wouldn’t have so many problems though.
Think of the countries that have a lot of oil that are run by psychopaths:
Russia
Saudi Arabia
Iran
Venezuela
People go around taking sides with some of these countries against other countries as if they’re not a bunch of psychos. Rationalizing why it’s ok for them to be psychos because of ideology or something that happened in the past or whatever. But they are psychos. Something about having that much concentrated wealth turns people into Harkonnens.

Hey! The US has oil too, and one of our recent leaders is definitely a sociopath

At that point you put a fence around it and call it historically reenactment.
