I believe there is a high chance that we will become extinct, or at least our population will be decimated.
Why? A few reasons. We developed weapons of mass destruction before we developed good sense. We still haven’t developed good sense.
Also, there was one country which pretty much had the monopoly on nuclear weapons. This country turned pissing people off into an art form. They made war and destruction into an art form. As a result, quite a few countries hate this country, and quite a few are ‘friends’ with it. Now, the countries which hate this country also have nuclear weapons. It seems to me like it’s only a matter of time before we screw ourselves. Someone’s going to get a little trigger happy with their nukes.
And finally, people can’t seem to close their legs. Sure, we’re already decimating the environment, but lets have a few more spawn anyway. Why adopt? Sure, there are lots of kids out there without homes who need caring for, but I’m so selfish that I need a little cretin with my DNA. Any less won’t do. I need 10 of them. 15!!! In short, people can’t stop shooting babies out of their vaginas, and I think that this may be our undoing… we cannot establish any kind of equilibrium with our environment, nor do we want to. We’re perfectly content to bonk all day, whilst simultaneously raping the Earth.
