 Topic: In the year 2525, will mankind still be alive?
Posted: November 24 2015 at 08:36 |
Ok I am going to start a cheerful thread. Will we make it as a species till 2525? With escalting violence around the World, global warming, ebola outbreaks, the real threat that anti-biotics will not be able to cure all anymore, mass obesity, the threat of a major pandemic, or an asteriod splatting the Earth big time, will we be wiped out as a species? Will the concern of those wise men Zager and Evans come true and mankind not make it to 2525? And just to make this even more cheerful what do you think will wipe humanity out in the end? more prozac please nurse....

Robots will do everything for us including solving our problems. The real question is how much will Rolling Stones tickets cost?

I think we'll be gone a long time before then...  There's not much reason to think we'll be around. We appear to be on an almost engineered and predestined path of self destruction and to think people flap about CO2, plastic bags and aluminium drinks cans. As George Carlin said regarding all those people who want to 'save the planet' the planet is fine, it's the people who are f***ed.

I think Man will either have mutated into a big pink blobby thing that sits in front of the 2525 equivalent of the TV and drinks beer all day.
Either that or we will have blown ourselves to Kingdom Come.

Yes. Mankind will last until an asteroid or another external event like that destroys it. Humanity sucks, people suck. But the survival instinct is strong in them. Self-annihilation is improbable, though not impossible.

We will be gone long before then. Things are going to be really difficult by about 2100. (not that things are rosy right now, but you get my drift)

We've already gone. This reality is simply nothing more than a dream fired by the imagination and words of Jon Anderson.

Maybe man will still be alive, but I am pretty certain that global population will be much less than it is today.

We'll all be robots by then, served by simpler robots. To me, the meaning of life seems to avoid all acute pain.

 "Everywhere you look nowadays, you look on TV you'll see people being run over by tanks, people being beaten by the police, people starving, new sexual diseases - obviously the human race is in love with self-destruction. We are only satisfying a consumer need." -- Dave Brockie (aka Oderus Urungus of GWAR), 1963-2014

I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

Violence? Climate change? Viruses? Poppycock; people (not to mention the planet) are way too tough and resilient for that petty stuff. The only thing I can see would be a big rock from space... and even then we'd probably still hang on in small pockets.

George Carlin was an assh*le, and a very angry little man by the end of his brilliant career.

The aliens are among us without being noticed, people don't have a clue about it.
