Is it our inevitable destiny to obliterate ourselves? (War, disease etc..) Or will we reach a higher understanding for our excistance, and finally live in unified peace by overcoming the obstacles we're struggling with today? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
we will die from our own actions. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
dunno. |

lame topic! impossible to discuss really, but I too think we will be the death of us. |
||||||||
|
|

We'll probably destroy ourselves and all traces of modern industrial culture and society, to be eventually replaced by a new race of humanoids desecended from the few survivors, forming their own anarchist community and living off the land, returning to to a time before technology played nearly as important a role in our lives. At least that's how all the book about the future seem to predict it. |

yeah, higher understanding of our existance is obvious |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
I would sure like to hope so, but seeing how things are evolving in the wrong direction, I highly doubt it. |

Let's be irrelevant. I just bumped my knee on some radiator, and when I wide-opened my mouth with pain, I got a jaw cramp. Life is shit. |
||||||||

be optimistic, man... its all pretty and nice, and things are turning to better all the time...you just need some faith! |
||||||||
|

You're very optimistic, and I guess that's a good quality. But I'm not convinced |

A lot of us are going to die soon, not all, but a lot |
||||||||
|
|

|

why is that? |

pessimism about the future is from all times, just dont believe in that, it's like that quote about the youth these days, by plato. it's our destiny to struggle, and maybe get higher but never reach the end: that's the point of living. i'm not this optimistic myself either though. i think things are static as you said. therefor just make the best of your own life. |

Our civilisation will probably end some day, like alot of other civilisations before it. And people will have to start over again. Whenever you read history-books, they always talk like we have now (20th/21st century) reached some sort of end-point. But i don't believe that. One day archeologist will be digging up the remains of our civilisation i'm sure. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Too true- people always think the youth are appalling and apocalypse is around the corner... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think it's all too likely that we'll make ourselves rather extint pretty soon... we're not responsible enough to keep up with the (vastly deadly) technology we're creating. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
i'll be having some smacks now |
||||||||
|

the average lifetime of a civilization is about one million years I think.. Or so I've read. And as far as I know, humans have been around for a lot longer than a million years - our era is pratically over |
||||||||

death is cool! i hope we all die together, so no one of us will be sad that the others are gone.. =) |

aaaww, that's unexpectedly conciderate of you, uzim :') |

Wow!! this thread is like an inshite to our inevitable destiny, Wow, Wow, Wow...........I can't believe all these things are gonna happen to the human race. I think we'll be ok tho. after all, Bush & Blair are best mates & if there was some kid of killer disease I'm sure they could help us kill it with one of those really big bombs, you know the ones with the big pretty mushroom that grows out of the ground.......... |

are you on the blob? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well how about this, when I'm dieing, I'll kill everyone else so that no one is sad!!! Sounds like a plan! |

well civilisations certainly dont last 1 million years, but a few thousand at most, they always die: egyptians, inca's, rome's, so it's pretty short-sighted of people to think their stocks will just be keeping rising endlessly, it wÃll stop. well and in every recession you think: that's it than, that's what i think now. but the next boom i wont be optimistic but'll think, this will be the last one, just so that we can fall deeper. :( you mean species last that long, but i think dinosaurs were longer around than that (from 120 million to 65 million bc?). humans have been only around since 50 k bc, this form at least, but it's no use comparing those two anyway. i think there's a good chance we'll go clean when all the natural resources are gone, right now we're just getting off the wasting we've done since the industrial revolution, we'll clean our act up. :) |

Actually, I meant species, not civilization. In general, species normally have a lifespan of some one million years, and since they've found remains of "modern man" in africa that dates back over three million years, I'd say our time is basically up - by far. |

No - mankind will evolve. |

No, but it's free |
