Your prediction? (poll) * 3
    #23873954 - 11/28/16 12:36 AM (7 years, 2 months ago)

I'm interested in others predictions or hypothesis as to the final resting place of humanity.
I can't think of a more diverse crowd to gauge current underlying mental states of living humans.
I would bet that there is a correlation in the minds of people now and the future those very minds create.

Honesty is appreciated but not required. :heart:


What is the final resting place of humanity?
You may choose only one
How long does humanity have left? Not just on Earth, but entirely.
You may choose only one

We either leave the planet or come up with technology to combat the ever-changing planet and universe within 100-200 years or we die off within that timeframe.

100-1000 years.

climate change or war

It's really simple or really complicated depending upon how you look at it.

It's essentially "Radically change/adapt or die off soon."

I like to think that, at the very least, there is some protocol in place for preventing nuclear war from destroying the entire planet. I mean, I know there are plenty of countries that wanna destroy the US and western world in general, but I'd imagine that despite their differences, countries like Russia, China, and the US, understand that nuclear war almost ensures mutual destruction for all

As for climate change, I think technological advances will prevent that from causing mass extinction

A super virus is probably the most likely cause of extinction at this point

America is immune no nuclear missile attacks. Lol The after effects not so much.

people actually think climate change will kill us all? :lolsy: any anthropogenic """greenhouse effect""" will settle down once our fossil fuels run out, worst case scenario is a shift in the gulf stream causes a new Ice Age, which would fuck North America and Europe/Russia but wouldn't come even close to wiping out all of humanity.

i think some form of technological augmentation/gene manipulation (likely a combination of both) will render at least a segment of the human population essentially immortal within the next 500 years, max. probably the gulf between rich and poor will continue to increase to such an extent that the majority of human beings either live matrix-like inside VR or are worker drones in huge slave factories, while the elites chill in their space stations/colonies a la Elysium. we'll colonize space but unless we work out FTL the colonies will be islanded from each other in practical terms so a Star Wars/Star Trek galactic civilization is highly unlikely in the near/semi-distant future.

It would actually be more interesting with near light speed because of the isolation inherent.  The comparative results based on colonist makeup might be very interesting for sociologists of the distant future.

War or natural disaster. Something big like a huge asteroid, same way the dinosaurs died. Although it's entirely possible some humans could be inhabiting Mars or something by then... but they won't be able to sustain themselves without Earth unless they find a viable water source and are able to grow crops on the planet.

it'd be interesting because people could have a good shot at whatever political or philosophical utopia they dream of without interference from other parties, the communists could all blast off for Fomalhaut to establish their truly communist colony, the 3rd wave feminists could bugger off to Virgo or somewhere and have their manless colony, and i could go to Zeti Reticuli and have a harem of over 9000 triple breasted whores.

Well I don't think humans will colonize other planets, we're not putting in the kind of effort necessary for that, "rare earth" resources which we rely on for computers (etc) are gradually dwindling, and even with an enthusiastic effort we'll be facing the consequences of climate change first. Maybe it could happen, but I doubt it will.

My guess is we go extinct over some millennia due to climate change, in the next few hundred years our population dwindles from drought / famine and the resulting wars, then plateaus at almost extinct, and eventually goes over the line.

Life goes on

Money doesn't taste very good anyways but don't worry, you'll have plenty of oil to drink when we're out of arable land.

We will upload our consciousness as light-data and outlive the end of the universe.
