I deserve to BBQ a nice steak in my back yard this weekend and then snooze in my hammock with my Kobo.
That is a bad way to view humanity. If it makes you feel better there are entire ecosystems of animals that now live in cites. Farms show that the animals we eat will definitely not go extinct. If you view it as information the information of the world has increased with time. As we are more advanced and maybe have a hope of spreading to different star systems. From there we will bring animals and plants with us and they will spread with us to new places. Of course all bets are off if humanity decides to just become a race of machines similar to what was said in the âsingularityâ. A ray kurzweil book back when I read 800 something page books.
We are really hurting ourselves. I blame sex being to appealing and the blind âfreeâ market system that keeps the very overcrowded planet stable. I think in my lifetime i may see great social and idealogical shifts as we adjust to more limited resources.
I think itâs kind of blind to assume we will just be able to inhabit another planet and that will save us so lets just rape the planet cuz we can. The closest star is 4.2 light years away and the odds of finding a star that supports life is pretty slim too.
I do wonder if we will ever inhabit a different star system. Part of me wonders if it is actually physically impossible to leave it as the fuel needed to go near light speed is immense. Also I wasnât advocating the raping of the planet just stating some things that would make it seem not as bad I suppose. I wasnât triggered by the video I think it was more intended to be humorous. There is also the chance that we will burn all the fuel necessary to leave earth before we do. The hope is that technology just keeps getting better to alleviate that problem. However there is a chance that there is a ceiling and we will get to maximum science and be stuck. It is a little pessimistic though. Also instead of âblindâ shouldnât you have said something like overly optimistic?
Just postulating a future where everything works out. Just as there are an infinite number of futures it doesnât there are an infinite that it does. To believe in mankind means to believe that chance that it works out is larger.
Well since u say it could go either way, human kind is not being very cautious. And as far as i know besides medical technology, the past century has only seen improvements in explosives and utilizing electro-magnetic waves, i dont see how at this rate that will save us. And i kinda think we are close to the ceiling of everyday technology (ie smart phones and 3d printing) i dunno what more we can invent, i bet the next 50 years be uneventful.
Iâm not a futurist. I can only hope that technology keeps increasing. Also electronics or cpuâs rather still seem to follow moores law more or less. It hasnât gotten to the point where where it would be restricted by phenomena like tunneling on a quantum scale.
I apologize. Iâll try to enjoy nookie less in the future.
Promise!
Just so long as I get a hoverboard like they had in BTTF2.
But Jesus said we could do whatever we want.
I remember hearin that 10 years ago. Now we have all the things you just mentioned.
The nearest star is roughly twenty-four-trillion miles away. Thatâs a long way to go.
There are all kinds of promising technologies that will make many more resources available to us. I just hope they can keep up with increasing demand.
Meh⌠i think the dinosaurs kill count is higher than oursâŚ
Eh @mermaid1 welcome to the human race. This is us.
I donât agree when people or scientists say we are more intelligent then humans , we donât have a brain of another creature to determine that. I think all animals have envolving intelligence just how we have evolved with ours. Who knows what the elephants will invent ?
I think weâre here to stay. At least for a several more years until N. Korea thinks it would be intelligent and within their rights to nuke another country to boost their ego or to satisfy their own hostility against the rest of the world. Then everything on earth would be moot as we count down by a hundred seconds to the end of the world when the U.S.A reacts the only way they can which is to nuke N. Korea back and all their allies and every nuclear power on earth presses the red button at the same time to nuke everybody else.
We humans will not be leaving the solar system because earth doesnât provide the super heavy elements on the periodic table for space travel namely element 115 (Moscovium). Man has evolved on this planet to utilise the resources it provides.
I meant animals
If itâs on mars, teraform mars and mine it there. Boom! Space travel.
We are no doubt Doomed!!!
