Self-destruction, global warming or some other horrible fate
Unification as a race, survival and advancement
Does anyone here share the same frustration that I share towards the direction the majority of humanity is heading? Not many people I know have much hope for our race, with global warming and all the nuclear weapons we have at our disposal. |

Unfortunately a big catastrophe such as aliens invading is not that likely, i could be wrong though, but global warming for example is not been taken much care of, unless we cut down the size of our population by alot we are pretty much doomed species. |
|
um... yeah, my bet isn't on global warming. Overpopulation is bound to happen eventually, but if you guys are looking for a "most likely scenario" of world destruction, i'd bet on either CME (coronal mass ejection) or nuclear war. |

Oh... don't worry about that... that's supposed to happen
From my own personal experience, I think if everyone could understand things they way they really are and not the way their imaginations make them out to be, humanity could join together as one. We are evolving, the past is full of mistakes and stupidity, but we've learnt from them (at least I have), and now I think we are getting closer and closer to discovering humanitys true place in this world, and when we do that I believe we will unite as one. |

Nothing will change us, so we will all die from nuclear war, or even global warming. Lots of people don't give a rats ass about you, just their self. We are a doomed race, all we know is negativity and fighting since the beginning of time so IMO we are not worth saving. |

As far as the last statement, yes it is getting to look that way, that the concept of a republic is not very good, and a pure democracy is the only way to ensure the power is put into the hands of the people. |

Everything works out in the end, sometimes even badly.
Well, I don't see much hope if people keep fighting each other. Eventually something really bad is going to happen if this behavior goes on (shit, it already has). |

Well, technically if you like to think outside the box a bit, you could consider AI/biotech the advancement to the human race. It would in fact be the evolution of a new species, one which we have created. I believe that is the closest thing we are going to get to "evolution". We're never going to get the literal definition of evolution "homo sapien sapien sapien" because there is no more fighting for survival based on individual strengths and genetic mutations, if someone is born with a fu*ked up heart, we give them an artificial heart instead of them dying, we value every human life and therefore we have brought evolution (at least in the civilized world) to a halt, i believe this is what Neruo in some manner is referring to (if you weren't then i'm just ranting i guess :p). |

Not exactly. Of course, I wouldn't deny that probably the current human race is less suited to survive in the jungle or something like that. After all, I would get owned by tigers if I lived in the jungle with my bad eye-sight. |

Hmm. I agree with Seeker. I think that something will happen soon, whether it be overpopulation or a man-made disaster remains to be seen, but we will have to change the way all human life is set up. The Earth just cannot sustain the mass amount of people for very long. Maybe going back to a similar lifestyle w/o machines and technology. Humans have this unique ability called reasoning that allows us to adapt to new situations. |

Why does it seem so hard to wake up now and see who we really are?
Its probably gonna be a 3rd world war... we can already see how it will happen |

Ok, there's a few things that i really really like in that post, and a few that even made me admit you were right, but there are still a few kinks in your argument. |

Perhaps Global Warming will be what unifies us, or destroys us. |

I'm not worried about global warming this month. It's so last month. Global cooling is going to make a comeback. I'm old school, and global cooling was the trendy panic when mustaches were in style and Peter Frampton was selling out stadiums. The 1970's will ride again! The cool people are already talking about global cooling again. If you want to be with it, you've got to get with it. |

How do you know you are not dreaming right now?
