The document summarizes the topics covered in a political science lecture, including the development of elite consensus, rise of counter elites, and future campaign issues. It then discusses six potential future issues: the right to live forever through technology like memory backups; the threat of asteroid extinction; continued space colonization of places like Mars; the implications of Einstein's theory of relativity; instant data transmission through quantum entanglement; and the discovery of a potentially habitable "super Earth".
