Nah. If you look at human history, things were much worse 40 years ago, and 25 years before that even worse. We may not make it another 1000 years, but we are not dying tomorrow either. If anything technology will be our downfall. Which is kind of funny, because it will probably be religious nuts using science. Kind of ironic, don't you think!

I think it would be somewhat egocentric to believe that in all the history of the world, I ended up at the end of it all. What disturbs me I guess is that we do possess the power to destroy the world, or humankind at least, so I'm not counting anything out.

I think that we're in for another ice age. I don't think our generation will see it, but I think it's brewing. Maybe in the next 500 years or so?

I'll say yes, and hope I'll be pleasantly surprised when I'm wrong.

GEG, in your own honest estimation....what percentage of your waking hours do you spend thinking of topics for threads to start on RM?

The sad thing is our leaders just ignore it, and do nothing to prevent it. Nobody cares about the future.

Nah. The one that's gonna get us won't be able to be stopped or prevented. So don't sweat it. You'll either die, or you'll be extremely rich afterwards.

I don't know... I couple hours at night laying in bed. Otherwise they all just come naturally to my mind.

Well, we are due for another mass extinction, anytime in the next 10 million years or so.
How 'bout armageddon by gamma rays?
