Normalcy bias about the future

It’s an illusion that civilizational development will stay at the current level (even though the world has been changing widely until this day). The future in this view is seen as a repetition of the present with small variations. An example of this is The end of history by Fukuyama “That is, the end-point of mankind's ideological evolution and the universalization of Western liberal democracy as the final form of human government”. Similarly, this illusion applies to scientific discovery - we have mapped and explained all or the majority of knowledge.
