FWIW, I think mankind will survive. The interesting thing is IMO not whether it will survive, but in what form, and for how long. I mean, the human race could survive very, very long under primitive conditions, no big feat. Many animals have done that for hundreds of thousands of years. If the earth was somehow mangled by a big war or disease, it will be somewhat harder, but I think a few will survive. I think that we should aim for something higher than "survival".
