Fred is extremely skeptical of memetics.
For the rest of your question I think you would need to have some sort of technological area where the Real World is ahead of the TS timeline or at least making large amounts of progress in an unanticipated direction.
I regret to report that I know of no such area. I will avoid listing the areas where we are behind schedule for the TS timeline both because of length and the desire to avoid beign seen as solely negative.
Suffice it to say that Transhuman Space is extremely optimistic about scientific and technological development and reaiity is rather disappointing in comparison.
