I mean seriously... We murder and steal and fight amongst ourselves. We create technology and discover new ideas and knowledge that we can't handle. We are motivated by fear and evil and hatred. We destroy our land, destroy our air. We lie and cheat and the people we elect to be our leaders and put our trust in fuck us over more. We truly are capable of great ignorance and cruelty. I estimate we push our own race to extinction because we cannot think beyond greed and personal gain to see what is true. Sorry blades, but its true for near every human ever.
I'm sure there will always be someone who makes it, probably the fat rats that are the powers that be. If we are never extinct then we'll keep going on like this, no chance for a newer better version of us

I mean the most powerful country in th world (for now) is fucking its 300 million people over because of trillions and trillions of dollars in debt of virtually money we never saw
It will probably be nuclear war or a massive natural disaster (Yellowstone erupting) that just kills so many people that there are not enough females left to create a healthy population. A pandemic like disease could cause a similar scenario. Even if we manage to prevent all of the above mentioned disasters one day we will eventually run out of natural resources, and unless we've created a way to mine the fuck out of other planets by then we will all die out.

Well, if they gave us like 20 mins to an hour to live on the west coast, I'd definitely get stoned to the bone, chiefed on some kief, high as the sky, etc.

I doubt Yellowstone will erupt in our life time, future generations though...idk. Just think about climate change too. Like 10,000 years ago the U.S. was covered in glaciers. Do we really think it won't happen again? I'm not talking about global warming or humans ruining the climate. I'm talking about the same climate change that has been going on for billions of years (Or 7,500 years if your a Christian ).
I know what you mean. Also, it would be nice to think there some nice aliens out there who just want to help us not be such a bunch of self destructive retarded animals, but IDK man, IDK...
There are so many ways the human race could eradicate itself, it just takes one. Either stupidity or war... Most likely stupidity
i think the human brain is quite capable of surviving, i dont think the race would be wiped out. The condition we live in might wipe us out tho.. however, we did make it hard for everyone else to survive on this planet
Yeah humans are pretty much the most selfish species to ever exist and we will die because of it. not in my lifetime...probably not for an extremely long time.
Of course we'll kill ourselves. You think scientists won't invent weapons even more destructive than the nuke/atom bomb? There are already enough active nukes in the world to blow its entire surface to radioactive waste, and as technology and population evolve so will weapons and conflict. The only question is when?
Maybe if we're just lucky enough, the human race will get extincted (heh) by our own evolutionary path, which clearly leads to conscious energy beings suspended in a digital network known as The Grid. I figure that's as plausible as "extincting ourselves"
