This has been a doozy of a year. And it’s the best year so far blah blah. So how are you all coping? Does it hit anyone else like a bolt of lightning that probably I - we - won’t die of old age?

    Humanity will survive

    …will it though?

      Some humans somewhere will survive. We’re the most adaptable and intelligent species on the planet

        Which makes all the other life on earth really sad if you think about it. /s

        It’s easy to fall into doomerism, but the truth is we are incredible in taking immediate dangers head on. We just happen to be shit tier in doing something against anything vague in the future. A human TPK, without tapping into SciFi, is out of the question.

        We are the most intelligent, not the most adaptable by a long shot.

        That also doesn’t guarantee anything, we are smart not capable of impossible feats of magic. If the situation is irreversible that’s what it is and you die. The end.

      Nah. It’s only been around a very, very short time and it won’t remain much longer despite probably being one of the longer stints the planet’s seen of life so far. We should still get to punch MAN into the high score screen and be seen by other players later on, like we saw with DNO.

      My guess is humanity will, but society probably won’t, at least not in or near it’s current form.
