      My children will condemn me for:

      girls: building a house with only 1 bathroom
      boys: for male pattern baldness

      On a societal level, future generations will condemn us for opposing GMO too much, or alternately, for not opposing GMO enough. It depends on whether the GMO meat slabs grown in brine or GMO airborne flesh eating virus get created first.

        So long as my GMO meat slabs grown in brine are free range it'll all be good.

            Nothing. They'll be too concerned about condemning everyone else to notice me.

              Realistically, I doubt I'll be important enough for future generations to condemn me personally. Assuming you mean "our whole generation" or subsets thereof who think or act like me, much depends on the severity of future events. If everything continues hunky-dory, we'll become more fastidiously progressive, and everybody will tsk about meat-eating, opposition to polyamory, and sundry other stuff I can't take seriously. If, on the other hand, things get bad enough for reactionary movements to gain power, we'll be hated for even thinking about tolerating polyamorists, homosexuals, etc. and thus causing society to decay so badly that whatever happened happened.

              The only thing that's really a given is that they'll blame us for the climate thing, because duh.

                Given the way things are going in Australia these days, they'll condemn me, hypothetically, for enjoying substances. Alcohol, nicotine, meat, all those good things.

                  (in general, I think this question tends to be interpreted as, "how do you condemn currently prevalent values, and assume future generations will agree with you because your own values are right?")

                    Oh, and knocking out kids with gay abandon.

                    I actually agree with the concept that we, as a species, ought to reduce population growth, but hey, there's my beliefs, then there's my life.

                      I suspect I'll be condemned for brainwashing the best and brightest into leaving Earth to die and starting a space colony.

                              This post was made 7 minutes ago, so I suspect you're already wrong.

                                Think about it the other way. Who said this generation ever had to die out? I envision some sort of "uplifting" to the cloud within 40 years.....

                                This generation will just continue to expand and expand and expand.....
