Yes.
A species is fucked when it starts asking "are we fucked?".

Ego was not a successful adaptation.
A successful parasite is not recognized by it's host, and certainly doesn't kill it's host.

Life has probably been questioning if it will make it or not since it first became aware that it was living and could die :lol: But I understand, it a bad sign.

By "kill its host" do you mean our destruction of the environment? If so we still have time to realize and stop what we are doing before its too late.

Why yes? What makes you think we won't overcome our downsides and continue to evolve/ move forward?

probably not. our current societal system is unsustainable and will either require drastic change or will likely eventually collapse.

humanity as a whole though will probably survive, we are by far the most adaptable species on the planet, and the most widespread. it would take something truly catastrophic to get rid of us completely.

That is pretty much how I feel, I truly hope it doesn't come to a mass catastrophe or meltdown of society for us to get our shit together though...

Extinction is inevitable to any and all life, Mankind is just helping itself get there quicker. Intellegence will be our undoing.

You wish to grow but fear what you may become, so you push off the water, the dirt, the sun, to stay in your hole. But it is in the very pushing that you become a tree, in spite of yourself. How did that happen?

The species did not ask if it was fucked, only one member of the species did.

No, because no matter how badly we ruin everything, there will always be a select few individuals with the intelligence and willpower to survive.

A disease that kills everyone? Humans are smart enough to quarantine those diseased, or themselves when the diseased outnumber the uninfected.

Nuclear fallout? There are places where some could survive the radiation and even a hypothetical nuclear winter long enough to reproduce and carry on.

Climate change? An ecological disaster, but completely survivable.

Point being, you can say our intelligence will be our undoing, however there will be remnants of human populations around for thousands more years.

The thing that will fuck us is when we biologically engineer smarter humans and animals and get replaced by that next species. But that won't be the end, just change our roles as a species.

In the respect that we're destroying ourselves; mind, body, soul and home (planet). We worship what destroys us, and give little thought to what could save us. The scales are so firmly tipped at this point, there's no coming back, barring catastrophe and rebuilding of global culture IMO.

I mean it's a massive topic, I could probably write a 10,000 word essay on it, but I'm really not in the mood.

i mostly agree with this, however there is more to your ecological disaster/climate change statements.  the biggest issues will be food sources when primary pollinators are largely gone from the earth, as well as new food sources stabilizing during the intense heat and inevtiable freezing that is the oncoming ice age (which is being fueled by, not caused by, human activity).  the next biggest issue will be potable water


i certainly think technological advances are the most prevalent threat to humans, as we currently know us, especially when mixing technology and dna/sentience.  our species will pass and the next species will continue in line.  just like all the other homos before us

So far it seems over 2x as many people think we are fucked :uhoh:

I voted No becouse I agree with others that no matter how bad things get some people will survive and carry on, you never know though.

We are almost at the point where nano weapons will be a thing and that could easily be the end...

All it will take is one self replicating nano weapon escaping its confinement and spreading through the atmosphere and or water...

A species has never asked if it was fucked, making the claim that those who have were fucked in the end lacks any and all precedent.

And successful parasites have been noticed by their hosts, and many kill their hosts - successfully.

Good points, but in the grand scheme there will be stores of food somewhere for some to survive long enough to create sustainable food sources. If the pollinators are all dead, we'd become the pollinators ourselves.
