BTW,
Thanks for posting this thread.
I have spent a lot of time pondering this exact thing and its good to see someone else thinking about it as well.
I just hope humanity wakes up real soon and realizes it has spent the past 100 years rewriting the rules of evolution and not for the better.

Seriously need a "facepalm" emoticon, because this fool is just....well, foolish and ignorant.

[Einsteinium]

The human race may come to an end, or it may not. We may leave this planet one day and travel to the stars leaving this planet behind as the sun engulfs it or other unstoppable natural catastrophe strikes. Or we may kill each other in a horrible war the likes of which we have never seen before.

We are all foolish and ignorant to think that each one of us is not able to do something to steer the destiny of mankind. Each and every one of us has a choice to make. The choice to gain knowledge, spread knowledge, and resist evil and harming others, or to be lazy, allow ourselves to remain ignorant, resentful, and hateful of ourselves even as we do nothing to change who we are. Many times throughout history men and women have rose from nothing to change everything. Gandhi, Jesus, Abraham Lincoln to name a few. Hundreds, thousands more unknown individuals as well that have guided our destiny to reach this point. We MUST NOT lose hope now, we have come so far and have learned so much. We owe it to the universe to at least try, for each one of us to try. Do it for yourself, do it for your children, do it for each and every one of us all. We can overcome our dark past, we can change our destiny. All it takes, is for each one of us to do something about it.

And how can we possibly do that?

We can't do anything like that now, but who's to say that we won't be able to in 100k years? Assuming that we continue to advance at exponential rates technologically and scientifically. Think about it, the only thing that can hold mankind back, is mankind itself.

Just like every other species, there is absolutely nothing "next for the Human Race."

Species are all destined for extinction.  There is no exception.

Obviously, this is true for H.S.S.  Whatever evolution does will result in a different species and H.S.S. will be just as extinct.

There's no moral to this story.  It is what it is.  People who think we 'deserve" to become extinct are not even thinking.  After all, what the hell does "deserve to go extinct" have to do with anything?  Deserved or not, it will happen to every species of life.

What could we say about species that don't "deserve" to go extinct?  Too bad?

How, exactly, is it that we "deserve" something that will absolutely happen?  Are we hurting anything but our own species?  Certainly not.  We cannot harm the Earth.  Any species that we drive to extinction is only following the natural course of things - extinction for all species.

Where is the moral judgement in that?  It is only in the fact that we may accelerate our own extinction through "bad" behavior.  But so what?  We will become extinct in one way or the other and no one will be around to say "If only they hadn't done the things they did..."

The entire topic is fluff.

Maybe there is no moral to this story but I dont agree with you. We DESERVE to survive. We (h.s.s.) are young and brave spicies. No matter what we are promising.

[Blueogre2]

We WILL go extinct one day, all things in the physical world are destined to fade away in the end. But in the meantime I think we will be okay, if we can just evolve our minds and reach a new level of being. As long as we continue to hold on to the savage heritage of the apes we once were we will never reach true power. If we can do that then who knows? Maybe we will become spirits and live forever in the heavens

Perhaps you find that amusing.
I just want to leave any legacy for future generation. If not on global level then just to my genes atleast so that they have chance to make breaktrough.

[Lion of Judah]

If the human race does not advance in tecnologies to solve the global chaos and even if we do advance who would it benefit we are in a new age most people don't even know it.
The Ancients had technology which was more advanced then todays like Quantum device watches we have DNA that is incomplete what if we were to evolve just like Darwins theories.
The fate of mankind is in the balance its Age of Apocalypse if the nukes go off nd the souls of us will all that remain of us we should be praying that don't happen and we are saved by the Creator.

What in the h### are you talking about? There is no proof at all that the ancients had any sort of 'Quantum device' and I doubt you even know what a 'Quantum device' is.

I dont know what Quantum device is but I know that apocalypse will happen if we continue with ecocide. Nukes are not biggest treat if I understand Lion of Judah right.

There is no proof yet that humans evolved from apes, so how do you know a higher being didn't create us? You can't just assume humans evolved and will keep evolving.

There is more proof for humans evolving from a common more ape-like ancestor than there is proof for a higher being creating us. Just sayin.

When we talk about evolution almost all scientists agree that it happened. But after that everything is open to debate. Like there is no other thing about they agree. Except that it happened.

But as I said. We are young. Give us more time.
