Earth's Future

[Noobert]

I wanted to post here, in hopes to see what other people think of the direction the world is currently heading.

My personal opinion is that we will eventually either do one of the following:

1) We will make this planet unlivable due to the amount of pollution, and waste of resources our ever growing population is consuming for pathetic needs.

2) We will end up fighting over the last of the resources in the world, causing World War 3 to become a reality.

3) We will finally realize that we are destroying this planet with each year, and do something about it and stop focusing upon petty things and focus on doing things for the greater good of the planet.

4) We will focus all of our efforts back into space to explore, colonize, and procure resources for our planet instead of monopolizing everything on the earth.

Mind you when I speak of these four topics it is a very distant future, but I believe these to be a very real outcome if something is not done.

Personally though..I dislike most of humanity now because we are lazy, greedy, arrogant, pathetic, cowardly, wasteful, and stupid. Very few people now a days do anything for themselves anymore. They need everything to be spoon fed to them.

I tell people I read books, and they go "LOL, YOU READ? HAHAHA, LOSER!"

..I mean, really? If this is our future - please kill me now.

I think we will do all of those things you listed, Noobert, and in that exact order.
Then, after stage 4, we will do the same to our 'stellar empire', and go 1, 2, 3, 4 again to other star systems, and the same thing happens all over again. Always with the survival crisis as a turning point; if the wrong people are killed in the global / stellar war, humanity will fall into chaos and back to a Dark Age, with the ruins of the Golden Age of technology all around it.

You know how I know the above? Bacteria do this, reproduce and consume, until there comes along a famine, in which the bacteria turn cannibalistic, the strongest adapt and survive, escape from their petri dish (or find an alternative food source), and they start reproducing again like madmen.
All life is cyclical, and humans are just another organism going through the motions.

I'm going to burn it, all of it. Nothing will be left, not even the oceans.

Addition to previous analogue, there's always an amoeba somewhere with delusions of grandeur. They are usually isolated and not in a position to effect their publicly expressed desires of chaos and mayhem, and when they act on their desires, the population terminates them.

We really should let humanity be controlled by a big badass AI.
(Anyone read the Halo story of the super-AIs? Those things can plan ahead!)

#3 will never happen, this planet is full of too many morons that think they are "in-charge" of this world.

I'm just glad I won't be around to see the sad fate of this "once" beautiful planet.

wrong there will be population clean-up , FEMA style

2) We will end up fighting over the last of the resources in the world, causing World War 3 to become a reality.
wrong a minority will erase the majority thro viruses

3) We will finally realize that we are destroying this planet with each year, and do something about it and stop focusing upon petty things and focus on doing things for the greater good of the planet.
read Georgia Stonehenge what it says

4) We will focus all of our efforts back into space to explore, colonize, and procure resources for our planet instead of monopolizing everything on the earth.
we cant , atm man can only travel 360miles from earth, then the shooting stars effect appears. maybe once we figure out to have some kind of shields in the ships

we were born pure in spirit and then the evil raise inside, its our society model that destroys everything.

1) Very likely given the current unsustainable consumption and population

2) Already happening, the nuclear capable nations are pretty safe due to the deterrent, but non-Nuke nations with resources are already being targeted and this will escalate as resources become more scarce.

3) lol we already know it, but we still dont fix it because fixing it means giving up the things we want. People are generally to selfish and greedy to do whats right.

4) Space colonisation is a wonderful fantasy that will never happen, it would take vast resources to set up a viable colony, that colony would never benefit those that had to pay for it, and it would be far far cheaper to colonise under the oceans or make currently uninhabitable parts of this planet habitable.


I likes ya to much to kill you, just be glad our generation will be long gone by the time the crap fully hits the fan and enjoy the time we have lol


Nature might yet find a solution, viruses, natural disasters etc could potentially cull the human population to a sustainable level, terrible for the people who die/suffer in the short term, but best for the species/planet in the long term.

Read the book of Daniel and the book of Revelation, its all there and no you dont have to be religeous to get it.

Nice topic .

[Ashu]

The Apocalipse. The Biblical one.

[jedi~tank]

The biblical apacolypse is not just an event that some would interpret or portray it to be, which is why I suggested read the book Daniel and Revelation...the apacolypse is the coronation, or culmination of the consequences of human choices throughout the ages combined with the natural evolution ( for lack of a better term) of the planet.

Eventually, if things continue to get easier to acquire people will only become lazier and stupider as we have now.

Apparently "enjoying nature" makes me a "fag" as well.
Apparently because I dislike drinking, and partying or picking up women I am a "loser" or an "idiot".

I just have to say "Where all da smart people at y0?"

Do your own thing...who cares what people think!?! take me for example, over the years i've had to put up with people who have assumed all kinds of things about me simply because of the things i speak about...water off a ducks back mate! i couldn't careless what people like Hitchkok, Thriller, sandman and others think of me. their opinions of me matter less to me than an ants!


I also enjoy nature, it's absolutely amazing! anyone who cannot see the shear beauty in all things natural needs their head examined.
