I think it's pretty obvious that humanity hasn't reached it's peak unless we're speaking strictly about reality and not potential. Humans are still killing each other over trivial bullshit. But even if that never changes technology has a ways to go before we destroy ourselves, so at least in that aspect I can say we haven't peaked yet.

Youd have to be blind to think we are even close to our peak. Technology, facebook, the internet, math, its all just beginning. We are the beginning, what seem like problems now, i.e. overpopulation may be solved easily with more efficient technologies in the future. Our generation and the ones after us are much different than almost all others in history. In my opinion this is the best time to exist, the time when people could remember how things were before, and experience them as they are after.

There's no doubt we have more to discover but we cant do it without a dependable renewable resource-which we dont really have.

Honestly, I don't think we are even close to the halfway point. 

Like CarnivalBarker said, Technology is just getting started. Which is really awesome, but scary at the same time.  I think technology will advance to be AT ABSOLUTE LEAST double what it is today by the end of my lifetime.

That's easy. :getstoned:

Anunnakian, i really hope SOMETHING crazy happens in my lifetime.
Anyone else believe that this is THE time in history to be alive? I always have this feeling that something great and significant is just waiting to happen.



Any time period probably felt that way due to the bias of being alive at that period. But it makes sense for this time to be fairly special. Technology is making strides while dated cultural values and lack of insight hold many people back from progressive development. But the changes that happen now, happen much more rapidly than they did in the past. So great shifts are certainly possible.




I don't know these are interesting times. No power has ever been capable of starting a chain reaction that could end all life. Total Armageddon has never been possible until recent times (last 60 years)

Could mankind of a different variety in the past have already developed further than we already have and managed to wipe them selfs out leaving no remains? Could we be the new growth of a fallen, insanely advanced race that somehow fucked it up?

I find myself wondering about this too. People look at me like I'm crazy when I suggest it may be possible that a civilization similarly or more advanced compared to our own has existed in the past, then eventually expired and had its infrastructure repurposed into shelter and hunting/farming tools by its survivors. "Where is it on the fossil record," they ask. Nowhere, because people use materials that are available to them to build things.

People just don't seem to understand that civilization is a fragile goddamned thing, requiring constant upkeep and rebuilding. Nature doesn't waste time taking back the things we've built.

The only reason we are so advanced is because things a passed on a taught to us. OMG HOOMANS ARE SO SMART. What would happen if all adults were taken off the planet and only babys were left. If by some miracle the babys survived and managed to grow up by somehow scavenging food they would still be cave-man retarded if they had no one to teach them anything. It could happen in the most technically advanced environment but if the means of being taught stuff disappeared they would be fucked.
