assuming civilization doesn't collapse first
interesting assumption that might be worth expanding
- mseebach 17y agoNaa, not really. We might all die due to some extreme natural disaster or nuclear war, but civilization is a very strong trait. Even in the most abject poverty and the most horrible wars, glimpses of the beauty that is human civilization appears. Our lives may change significantly for better or for worse, but civilization isn't going anywhere.
- borism 17y agowell, civilizations die to be replaced by new ones all the time you know. whether we can overcome deeply fundamental crisis our western civilization faces remains to be seen, but looking back at 2000-2009 i am not convinced.
- mseebach 17y agoYes, single civilizations come and go - but the OP you quoted said "civilization", not "this" or "our", which I read as the concept of civilization as such, and I don't see that going anywhere.
