What will happen to us as a species?


How long will the human race survive on Earth? Will we have to relocate?

I just don’t know.

I believe extinction is inevitable. My favorite guess is that we would be able to convert our conscience into A.I. some day and continue to live in machines, potentially forrevveeerrrr...

My not so favorite guess, but I think is more probable, is that we will simply go the way of the dodo.

I wonder if ever so slowly people will reproduce less until eventually there's no one left. I don't know how this might come about, and I would think once the population got so low people may not know how to sustain their own lives. Idk, maybe some people manage, like in The Walking Dead and I Am Legend.

Well, it's Saturday so I guess we'll all run a few errands, wash some laundry and finish the day watching Netflix with our Boo;)

What will the rich humans do?

reply

Apparently, they watch Netflix Premium.

reply

lol. They watch rich actors play poor people.

😉nice

They take pause breaks between to go harass baristas.

reply

I'm guessing they have people to run their errands and wash their laundry
So, Netflix and Boo all day...?

No wonder they get divorced.

Total extinction? Not sure; there's a lot of people on earth. I can see pockets of humanity surviving in tribes.

But technology will eventually doom humans to a big die-off. While civilized countries won't start a nuclear holocaust because they're interested in self preservation and know that a nuclear war cannot be won, there remains a middle ages mentality in one particular culture that would prefer to die if it meant the extinction of their sworn enemy.

That's the problem...

Those pesky communists!

I will be long dead

reply

Unless reincarnation exists. You may come back as a communist who saves the planet from extinction.

reply

Communism will never save anything.

reply

Of course! Because the foundation of the human spirit is made up of equality and fairness.

reply

I meant to say never save anything

reply

So I’m no illiterate?

reply

correct

reply

This is ironic. When I first read this I saw communism will save anything.

reply

If we can just get beyond the total extinction outcome, then I truly believe that we could become Godlike. Just look at how we’ve advanced exponentially. Imagine where this could take us.

reply

I think we’re in a petri dish. It’s not up to us.

reply

So, we’re just an alien ant farm then.

reply

Yeah... God feels like a smooth criminal, doesn't it?

reply

Ha, I saw what you did there.
