If the electronic media is destroyed ( as if highly possible ) and books were not available, good luck finding anyone that knows the Illiad off by heart. Even finding anyone that knows how to cultivate food without any machines or chemicals would be difficult, and given that almost all draught animals have been allowed to die out, the chance of being able to plough fields or transport food will be almost impossible. Humanity has allowed itself to be seduced by technology and if it all goes wrong the outcome is not looking good for humans. IMO the only survivors will be living in caves and hunting animals with a stick. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steven100 Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Humanity will survive unless a world epidemic killer virus wipes everyone out. Sure, there will be more floods, tornadoes, earthquakes, fires, volcanoes, tsunamis and many other natural disasters, however ... I believe it will be a super virus that will kill billions and wipe humanity out. It may take 100-200 more years but I think it will happen. Also, there will be more and more crazy nutcases running around as poverty increases and the new generation cannot get jobs and don't have sufficient funds to feed themselves or their drug habit.

That doesnt make sense. Viruses kill less people now due to modern medicine. In 200 years medicine will be a lot better. Humans will be here in 5000 years.

Not too far fetched. An exploding Super-Nova, sending it's Gamma-Rays our way will terminate the reighn of the Killer-Apes. Our Athmosphere blown into space, no more electricity. How long can the Killer-Apes uphold civilization without athmosphere and electricity? No more posting on TVF. Our computers worthless and unedible.

They get the humans they control to feed them, despite giving little back in return. At least a dog loves the human it controls. Could it be, that your "Cat" comment could be extended to some Thai-Ladies that hang around Tourist-Hub's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as "the centerpoint" of billions of humans revolve around the opinions of the Pope in Rome and the opinions of some Mullahs in the Orient, a "wold-governement" based on science and above all COMMON SENSE is elusive. With or without Algorithms. No wonder that an impressive number of Farangs have made "Beer Chang" as the centerpoint of their live. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaibeachlovers Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 I believe absolutely that humanity will not survive. Even if we survive till all the suns run out of fuel and die, I find it impossible to believe that anything could survive in a dead universe.
