Planet will be fine and livable. It will be different, but livable. Even most nuclear war scenarios will not destroy everything, just most populated areas by now.
Liveable, maybe. But, maybe miserable. Like, the planet was liveable for hunter-gatherers during the ice age, but lives were short and brutal. We could be headed back in that direction.
Does any of that matter to the planet? Like any of the ancient plants and critters that have come and gone, humans will have their time and then pass from existence and memory. Something new and different will replace us.
No it does not. Nor does the universe bother about galaxies. The point is that all things that exist have their time under the sun and then pass so something new and different can take it’s place.
It’s huberous of the highest order to think everything will continue on as it is right now, And to try and preserve it all for your personal comfort.
The idea that human society will make it to 4269 as well as the old Twitter logo at the bottom really dates this one. 😥
People probably said similar at the fall of every empire throughout history. People will endure and build anew. Life finds a way.
Most other empires didn’t have the ability to destroy the ecosphere of the planet they lived on.
The modern empires can do it not just on purpose using nuclear weapons, but also accidentally through climate change.
Life will find a way, but will civilization? And will the dominant species still be humans?
Yep. And yep.

Such is evolution.
Does any of that matter to the solar system? I mean, one of the planets has some molecules that combine in complex ways. Big deal.

“Huberous”?
It’s unlikely that people will go extinct, but we’re perfectly capable of creating a Mad Max or Fallout type of world.
