- smolder 3y ago> Life, and civilization, will continue to go on, This is less realistic than a lot of doomerism. I'm not really scared of every last human dying off, I'm worried about a world where nearly everyone would rather be dead because of war and starvation and disease. Life on earth is likely to exist for a very long time, even if we do our worst, but there are known risks and unknown risks that might make life on earth hell, even within the lifetimes of people alive today.
- bee_rider 3y agoI don’t think “civilization will go on” should be interpreted as a message that everything will be fine and the future is necessarily bright. I mean if you are worried about war, then you aren’t worried about civilization totally collapsing, because some level of civilization is necessary to execute wars, right?
- smolder 3y agoWar is both a product of civilization and capable of bringing about the end of civilization.
