Hope springs eternal. Considering the direction of our culture, is there any realistic hope of humans surviving?

Humans are doing amazingly well … for the moment.. The problem is, not much else may survive - then we’ll be eating eachother ..Soilent us ~

Good point! However when the food chain collapses then it will be every animal for themself.

For the good of the rest of the planet, I certainly hope not.

Wishful thinking.

There’s always hope. But it’s not culture that’s killing us; it’s our biology. Culture embodies our only hope. Culture, no matter how bad it might be, is always more malleable than biology. We need a proactive attitude toward re-engineering culture.

@Leontion
Well that's an interesting angle I hadn't considered. I tend to think of biology in terms of genetics, but it's a lot more complex than that isn't it? I do agree that a biology-based intervention would likely be much more effective, if it could be developed.

@Leontion Interesting perspective, unfortunately human nature is such that we will expand, exploit & extinct. Regardless!

@Leontion, @skado Intervention! Surely you jest!
