Will the future generation (generation after 500 years from now) consider us as Barbarians?
In 500 years the world will either be horribly overpopulated or there will be few humans left.
How do you perceive the residents of the Planet Earth of 1519?
That's how people in 2519 will perceive us. Though, by that time, large numbers of them will be living on other Worlds.
If you started that with, If we make it five hundred years, I would agree with you wholeheartedly. After all we're past the flip-phone stage.
Sometimes I wonder if we’ll get another 500 years… Perhaps they’ll consider us one-time ‘gods,’ apparently having built structures that tamed rivers and defied gravity!
Or (and hopefully), we’ll be looked upon charitably as still learning.. One sad aspect ‘of now’ for me is I/ we’ll be lumped together with the average idiots in a category called something like, still worshiped gods... Hopefully, by then my molecules will have become so intricately incorporated with new life that I won’t know, or care
Inconsiderate, self-obsessed, dumbfucks I would suspect.
I know I would from that vantage point!
