LMAO. Technology has always run ahead. Look up what happened during the Dark Ages. Then look up recent research on the ancient Greeks and Romans. If they hadn't been wiped out by nut job religious people our technology would be at least centuries more advanced than it currently is.

technology is advancing faster than sci-fi films even.

'Don't worry. Be happy.' Some people never get to have children at all. I'm ready for the end of times so I can begin the next...whatever it is that's on the other side.

Nothing’s going to eradicate humans, short of a yet undetected asteroid. The question is, how do we want to live? Or, how are our political systems going to evolve..?

I’ve only photos of myself as a baby in the arms of my Great-grandmother, who was known for saying, “There will always be wars.” She undoubtedly feared for my future… Well, here I am. What’s changed? A lot! Population’s increased beyond comprehension, we’ve walked on the moon.. and nations have become closer, if by necessity. We’ve avoided nuclear war, and (for the most part) are aware of our shared dangers.

We’ll not achieve perfection ..until the Borg arrive ...but we all know better than that. I don’t fear as much for our annihilation, but for further missed opportunities to set a healthier course for humanity. Regarding the institutions of politics and religion, reality has a way of setting in - and denial is futile ~

Well, "The end times" sounds quite religious, but sure, with the speed we kill our planet by money driven motives, we probably will make our world uninhabitable within a few generations. The chances are real that a majority of mankind will not survive that. But humans are flexible, so I don't know if its a reboot or that it will be beyond rebooting. We'll see.

Wow. Well expressed.
