DISQUS

A little place of calm: How long will humanity survive?

  • Make Money Online · 4 months ago
    Everything is designed to be balanced in a way for life to be sustainable. By the time humanity is dead, we've already been long gone. The escalation between science and life, and how it is connected does have an impact, but if it were to be improper, we'd be in a different situation now than just living.

    There is a special program on National Geographic called "Alien Earths" that theorizes about the existence of Super Earths in the universe that could possibly support life. They may also be terrestrial planets and could possibly support life. I personally find it very daunting that we only have a staff of scientists equal to a McDonald's staff monitoring the skies for near-Earth asteroids and most likely only have been able to track ten percent of potential impactors.

    I think there's a big difference between how long humans will last and how long society will last. At current estimates there are 6 billion(ish) people on the planet now. It would take something truly massive to kill everyone even beyond what eliminated the dinosaurs. We are cognitive enough that some of us would be able to find a way to survive some of the worst imaginable disasters however society is fragile in comparison since it wouldn't take very much to do irreparable damage to the infrastructures that support current standards. This is especially true for more modern countries since we rely on technology to a much greater extent. So think of it this way, even with a massive disaster some humans will probably be around for a long time but with a very different standard of living.

    Of course you could survive. If it was a global war things would be tough, but those with the grit and guts to make it probably would. The defeatists and leeches would quickly die.

    These are the most depressing words I recall reading: "What are we really trying to achieve here, anyway? I mean really long-term. Eventually our entire universe will freeze out as the last stars extinguish all the available fuel. We know that the human race cannot survive indefinitely, at least, not unless we can figure out a way to jump to a different universe, all of which (if they exist at all) are probably receding from us faster than the speed of light! Even if we put our consciousness into a simulated reality, it cannot outlast the life of the universe."

    The one that holds true power is the one that can control or knows the technology. I'm a fan of Ghost in the Shell:Stand Alone Complex and I was amazed how the series depicts and molds the characters. It's a bit futuristic but it is very entertaining. You should watch it! ^^ My comment is a bit off topic but that's how I feel when I read philosophical posts it kinda reminds me of the series

    It does look grim from a purely physical perspective and I so understand your views. I'm a believer in God though and the Bible promises that the earth remains forever. Life is such a miracle as it is, everything about the earth is perfect for life and enjoyment - not by accident for with design and for a purpose.

    What I feel the basic necessity to the survival of humanity is food. This year there is some news that there is serious drought and the production of food products is going down and with the invent of ethanol all food crops has been changed to cash crops. The first basic test the humanity will face is food scarcity. Governments all over the world should take necessary steps to avoid this and in turn save humanity

    Girls plus size clothing can be very fashionable and switzerland clothing quite attractive. Girls plus clothing will give the illusion of shedding a few pounds, as girls tall clothing will seem to take a few inches off in height. Clothing for tall girls is also a subject in similar nature.

    Hello,
    As humans, we must take seriously the care of our planet. We can pollute less the air, not consuming certain chemicals and recycle more. Our planet is a wonder, and will never survive if we allow others to destroy it.

    That does sound very interesting and I'm going to try to find this book so that I can read it too. I don't think it's really any surprise that our civilization may not survive for much longer - as we get more and more advanced I think we get closer to the end of our civilization's lifetime. And as for our civilization having some sort of meaning on a cosmic scale, I don't think that's possible. The universe is immense beyond our capacity to fathom it's immensity.

    I dont know what I'm feeling right now after reading this article. I am afraid that someday it will be the end of the world. In the philippines there is a typhoon that blasted out millions of people and lost their homes and hundreds of people died. I think this is one of the many signs. If you read the revelation of the BIBLE, the signs really matches. Lets just all pray together.

  • Silencio Barnes · 2 months ago
    The questions raised here are really the sort of fodder that a lot of science fiction has been running on for years. It seems to be almost a given that our species will not last very long. We are too parasitical in nature for any sort of global or even cosmic ecology to bear our existence for too long. We consume, and all we can do to make sure that we survive is to find new and different ways to consume, and yes, this means heading off to other planets and moons and asteroids; wherever we can learn to survive. Where could that ever eventually lead?

    I believe that if the world pooled it's resources, we could start that journey outward right now and not decades and decades from now. But you see? We just can't. People, as they are now, are fundamentally flawed. I believe that if we do or can last for the long haul, our only really goal will ever be either finding "GOD" or becoming "GOD" - I mean when you stretch it over hundreds of millennia, what else could a species really strive for?

    I could go on, as these are the types of things I think about a lot. If there was a such thing as eternal life, I would want to have it just to see how all of this eventually turns out.

    Thank you for giving something to rant about today :P

    Interesting post...something most of us think about for sure. I'm not sure if I can agree with the end of humanity in a couple hundred years...unfortunately, we may see a huge reduction in the population of our species as well as others due to the above mentioned problems; things like disease, climate change, disasters, famine, etc. Also, I think it is reasonable to think that in a universe made up of billions of glaxies, each with billions of planets, suns, blackholes, etc there is the chance that alternatives to our view of intelligence exist and that there could be much smarter or adaptable life forms in existence.
