It's unlikely that humanity as a whole will be lost. Civilization collapse is quite likely. "Natural ecosystem" collapse is even more likely (nature as we know it might stop existing). I recommend listening to Noam Chomsky. In the last few years he's been very active in pointing out how bad things are about to get (not in a fear mongering way, but to incite activism).
- omnimus 6y agoCan you recomend something specific? What recent should i listen to? Thanks!
- dmos62 6y agoI'm comfortable recommending any interview or talk with him. He's been super active during the COVID crisis, so there's too many videos to keep track. From the title, this seems to be on subject: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLbBF0M42DY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLbBF0M42DY
- marricks 6y agoI actually really like Noam, I could have been a bit more general in that we very well might not advance scientifically.
