#12If you live in the future, garbage is gold. Garbage will be used to build business empires. Garbage will be sold, sorted, repurposed and resold in ways unimaginable, so determine what future assets you are throwing out.
Puts the saying "find something no one else wants to do and make a career out of it" in a whole new light.
Bonus Prediction: William Gibson will write a novel about garbage.

#19If you live in the future, people will still care about classical Chinese literature (because people still care about classical Chinese literature now and it's not like Confucius lived in this millennium). So study classical Chinese, if you think it's interesting.
