How will it end? Will we distroy ourselves?
Will the planet kill us?
Will aliens kill us?
Will we never die, yet remain as an implacable living force that never ends, forever growing?
Or something much deeper...

It's like a lucid dream, endless possibility. :)
Actually somebody before posted a site about end of world scenarios: Exit Mundi
Maybe another animal will evolve and become the dominant species on the planet in some sort of planet of the apes way?
There have been loads of scientists saying that comets were supposed to destroy the planet but they never did, even if comets were heading towards Earth, then Saturn's gravitational pull would probaby make the comets go off course.
Ice ages are supposed to happen every 15000 years or so I've heard, if this is true, then humans will be able to prepare for it.
The one on you avatar? I wouldn't afraid of him/her, anyway putting aside its size it looks decent and placid.Quote:

Ha, ha, it was so cruel and vampire-like to add those blood flaws. Well I guess that it must be a specific sense of humour of the "Skeleton Skull".Quote:

The lie of each individual will get far too big for it to be able to live on in its pretendance as it does right now ..
Materialism could also be a reason ...
In the end .. I wish a fatty meteor would hit while I am high :P
In other words "the rat race" is the most possible insane social factor that will eventually lead to the self-destruction of our humanity.Quote:

I think that we'll kill most of ourselves off by Nuking or whatever, and then the remaining pockets of humanity will die off because of inbreeding.
No, really.
I dno about you guys but I dont plan on dieing......ever
Nuclear war is extremely unlikely. You've probably all heard of the MAD - mutual assured destruction theory.Quote:

No country's government would be stupid enough to actually launch nuclear weapons against another. They are only there for the sake of making empty threats. Each country that has nuclear weapons only has them because so many other countries do - they would be left completely exposed without them. It is very unlikely that Nuclear weapons would ever be used in a full on "nuclear war".
But hasn't it come to your mind that the potential nuclear WWIII can be initiated just by chance and not exactly on purpose. Then in a total chaos and hell no one's gonna to speculate who was guilty. It'd be too late.Quote:

I really don't know, I just repeat what I hear. :yumdumdoodledum:
I maintain my question: why does the world have to end?
I'm not saying it does.
what do you think will happen in the next several thousand (or million, or billion, etc.) years, Amethyst?
I predict that I will eat myself into a chocolate coma by the age of 30, and the world will see what's tearing itself apart.... :content:
Actually, I really can't say what I think will happen in the future, near or otherwise. I just think that history will continue to take the course it always had. Conflicts will be resolved only to be replaced by newer conflicts based on old arguements or discrepancies. Then those will be resolved and new ones will arise and so on and so forth. The types of problems probably won't change dramatically, no matter what the technology of politics are.
I'll keep my religious views out of this conversation, however... but we should all just eat ourselves into chocolate comas. Then we can bask in the glory of chocolate and free ourselves from all worry and despair :bigteeth:
I like the way you think :content:Quote:
