Okay, this is a heavy general question. Where do you think humanity is heading? Do you think that the planet is destined to be fucked? Do you think that humans will rape the planet so much that Global Warming will cause massive catastrophes that will wipe out entire populations? Or do you think that Nuclear Armageddon will ever occur?
do you think that humans will realise these possibilities enough and try to prevent them happening or repair the damage done?
Your thoughts please!
bye

hmm, it's just terrible when you think about how little time was needed to fuck things up so badly...only like 50 years or so. surely now will take centuries to repair rhe damage - at least at this tempo right now. i hope US put more effort into saving environment...

I think a relatively small group of the population will escape to a colony somewhere else, say the moon- the elite if you will. Earth will continue to house a human population, but most of the land will be unusable.

in a purally economic standpoint:
It's sustainable business or nothing at all. It is possible to do things, make things, everything we like to do as humans, in a way that doesn't hurt the environment, doesn't hurt people.
I think without that, we will eventually whiter and die, with it, we should sustain if not improve.
this is my life goal.

I think it all depends on who wins the next US election, they have such a massive influence of the world, not just environmentally.

Trying to pin point the direction humanity is going is like asking where a beam of light is traveling to. It is headed in an unknown direction but it is heading forwards on its way.

Yes, it will have a massive influence. It is very difficult to have a positive outlook, what with the direction we are heading, where the main goal is profit and gain. Workers rights are lessened (temp agencies used so that companies can claim no liability), union power is weak to the point of uselessness, unaccountable corporations violate enviromental and social laws. It is difficult to to see any positive direction.
Of course I`m not a pessimist and I am quite a positive person, but it very frustrating to witness, and indeed, be part of this direction.
It`s hard to see much change in the forseeable future. I guess everyone has to make the best of what we have.

the US is 4% of the worlds population, guess what percentage of the worlds pollution the contribute?
20%... and Bush don't give a fuck, i'm glad to see some of his main challengers in the US elections have mentioned pollution as something that needs to be looked at seriously.

we will most likely fuck this world up until it's too hot in most areas to inhabit, and the icecaps will melt into huge insane oceans ala water world. some humans may eventually evolve into sea-mammals and others will migrate to mars.
what we should do is start launching all of our rubbish and nuclear waste and such into space, or send it into the sun.. i mean.. the astronauts already release all kinds of shit when they are there.. and who really cares what kind of garbage is up there floating around in an endless vacuum?
also we should make some kind of magnet-powered transportation, or just have each car be nuclear powered.. since we'd be sending all the excess radioactive waste-goop into the sun anyway.

In space, there is no air resistance so things can travel very fast. Things like screws can rip the hell out of spaceships.

probably, if the americans have their way with the outcome, there will be a big mess environmentally, socially and psychologically (add some more -ally's here if you want) on the earth, and then people will be relocated to places like mars where we can start over and pretend the stuff on earth never happened.

the most damaging idea or belief in this world is separation of mind (briefly, that we exist only as electrochemical phenomena, trapped within a body, alone and powerless). as long as people persist in dividing themselves against each other, and insist on blaming other people for the world's problems, the situation will worsen. for example, dividing yourself against others might include (but is not limited to) using labels like race, ethnicity, religious identity, nationality, etc.
some who read this might think that it is impossible for human beings to resist dividing themselves against others, they think this behavior is natural and normal, despite the promotion of conflict. others cling very tightly to these labels, because they believe that they provide a sense of identity and self, the labels tell the world "who they are."
nevertheless, in my opinion, this world will be healed, but possibly only after deep and profound conflict. this process will include: the rejection of belief in separation of mind; scientific discoveries regarding the origin and source of life; the realization that consciousness gives rise to matter, and not the reverse.

Nuclear destruction people. I think a large proportion of the world's population is headed for extinction. We all hate too much. Maybe once the "end" comes, the few that survive will be able to build a new, better place. I hope so, but i'm not filled with optimism.

we're going down. Because of the way we live. Environmentally, we're a disaster. Most aspects of society needs to change - we're not just going downhill now - lots of people are suffering/dying/wasting their lives today because of the society they live in; because they need money. Fuck capitalism.
