Humans Are Doomed to Go Extinct

The signs are already there for those willing to see them. When the habitat becomes degraded such that there are fewer resources to go around; when fertility starts to decline; when the birth rate sinks below the death rate; and when genetic resources are limited—the only way is down. The question is “How fast?”

Humans Are Doomed to Go Extinct
A vote for Trump, a third party candidate, or no vote at all, is a vote for a dystopian future.

Re: Humans Are Doomed to Go Extinct
By "genetic resources", he's referring to the fact after each genetic bottleneck in our history, we've become more homogenous and lost much of our diversity. There is some truth to that, but I don't think that the fact could or should be paired to the other factors he listed in the way he does.

The economy is planned so it can be planned to not make us go extinct due to climate change.jamestiago wrote: ↑Thu Dec 02, 2021 4:56 pmHow is socialism going to stop extinction?Set and Meet Goals wrote: ↑Thu Dec 02, 2021 8:13 amSingularity or socialism or extinction.wjfox wrote: ↑Wed Dec 01, 2021 7:15 pm Humans Are Doomed to Go Extinct
