Or the end of civilization it self? Discuss! As far as I can tell we’re living in the best version of society there’s ever been. Technology is at an all time high, life expectancy is at its peak, we’ve generally achieved world peace, and yes, we can always find issues and ways to get better, and things we don’t like about ourselves, but nobody would volunteer to live 100 years ago, or even 50.

Or the end of civilization it self? Discuss! That is a great question. Yes, I think we are setting it up for our own destruction such as ignoring global warming: We will cut 3% of emissions out of this chemical plant by 2080 Hey assholes. We can't wait that long! It needs to be cut down to 0% right now! And in other forms of polluting and environmental destruction such as wasting our rain forests and overfishing of the oceans and turning them into sewers to kill them. "If the oceans die, we die," goes the mantra. Maybe the threat of the nuke wars is not as strong as it was a few decades ago but it is still there. And if MAN can build such weapons and not give a shit at all about destroying the planet with them then how can we expect him to give a damn about the planet at all? And if we don't wipe ourselves out then I think it will be a huge asteroid or meteorite that will do the job for us. If we come back in another form after this current one gets extinct then maybe, just maybe, they will get it right with no wars or destruction of the living at all but don't hold your breath on that.

A rather broad question. Give us some specifics. Elaborate

Just thought it would make for a interesting discussion.

Maybe the world as we recognize it and grew up with. Something else will take its place once the “new normal” is but a memory.

No I dont think we are at the end of civilization. In the end climate change was here before us and will be here after we are gone. The political climate is changing but that is also alway happening. In the end its all about boys meeting girls and making new boys and girls so they can meet a partner to start the cycle all over again.

Depends on when the next world war is and if too many nukes are used
Very concerned about AI
Climate change-not too sure what the cause is. Too politicised

Pretty sure it's the Rand Corporation, in conjunction with the saucer people, under the supervision of the reverse vampires that will lead to world destruction.

Oh, God, don’t make me more depressed than usual. Sorry It’s OK, it’s just that I get really sad and scared at the thought that things aren’t going to return to normal.

This is the consequences of technological progress. 24 hour news, constant media saturation, cell phones, mass transportation. Just have to wait for the Vulcans to arrive in their ship and do the hand gesture thing with Cochrane.
