Of course we know from historical observation that the guilt is very difficult to disperse; really it just shifts into some new ideological form over time, though the old forms are still very much with us, such as the guilt surrounding sex and physical pleasure. And I suspect that some century or two into the future - assuming the constancy of our current perception - the guilt will largely take the form of a horror and loathing and envy of class-based material power and efficacy, given the profoundly economic nature of both our late civilization and its crises.
