Is there a futurism methodology like this: 1. Project who might inherit the future (based on reproduction rates) 2. Extrapolate structure based on social/geographic mobility 3. Predict conflicts based on resulting stresses 4. Add in forcing functions (climate change, zombies)

🤔 interesting that “religious mobility” is not a thing. Conversions among religions and to/from non-affiliation are far weaker than either social or geographic mobility
