Try to predict how the "overreaching" morals of society will change in the future and how one would view the beliefs, and decisions you have made to live your daily life.

    Morally I don't think I would be looked at as a "bad" person, but the amount of space and resources that I used during life will be viewed as wasteful.

    I agree that conservation of resources will be a big one, especially considering the life of excess in Western society by comparison.

    I think the biggest flaw society engages in is judgement through historical window. Fruitless and meaningless endeavor as there are too many variables. Societies make mistakes, learn from it and move on.
