I believe Mankind has a positive future, it won't happen in our lifetime, but maybe in 500 years. I see a world at peace, a fair world for all, with no crime and no hate.
If you consider where we've come from - we have a wild and savage history, we came from a world where man had to kill or be killed. We fought off wild animals, diseases, hunger, cold, etc.
Life now is paradise compared to what our ancestors dealt with, and it is getting better.

All species go extinct, through catastrophic events or evolving into a daughter species.

we are proper fucked on many levels because of our greed and overpopulation. things just arnt infinite on a finite planet.

Hopefully we get lucky and many people of this year will be raptured out, considering the new claims and signs. I’m tired of all the loony people messing things up. On a serious note, I think the Universe will continue to be here for as long as it last. It’s already been here for billions of years. Life and the universe will go on, even after our generation is long gone.

It's only a matter of time before some idiot presses the nuke button or we get hit by an asteroid. Just hoping it doesn't happen in my lifetime, my son's, or that of any grandchildren that I live to grow attached to. But ultimately, it'll happen at some point.

I don't live daily worrying...but, if I hear or see some injustice then I want to act! I take whatever action that I can and asap, I go on to the next thing in my life! But in these last few years, it is consuming a great deal of time, even with small actions! There were always injustices...but now they seem to be common place!

Artificial intelligence and robots will be able to do all labor,surgery, teaching research so why do we need humans and what would they do that's better than the robot? Robots have knowledge and can recall it faster and without error than humans. Not only that but they can correct the errors based upon other acquired knowledge.

I don't pay any attention to the doom and gloom sayers. They have been predicting the end of the world forever. The only thing that doesn't change is the fact that everything keeps changing. We will have our time and then we will be gone, but we'll do it without me worrying about it.

We're doomed. I've been saying it since I was 6. Honestly, I'm surprised one of the religions hasn't grown tired of waiting for their salvation.

We should do many things about many things ... but I don't think we will.

And away we'll go. And the animals will rejoice !

My opinion is our species will endure , evolution can't keep up with the changes we are making to our planet. We may become the cause of every other species going extinct but homosapiens will survive. We are a resilient bread . The society as we know it probably not but we will adapt and overcome .

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, nothing lasts forever.

We know that the solar system will be consumed by the sun in about 3 1/2 billion yrs. By then we will probably colonized some other planets. Baring a Hugh asteroid hit and nuclear war, some of us should survive. I personally plan on watching the sun go nova, I need to get a good pair of sun glasses.

If we're going to be fine and we do nothing, no problem.

If we're going to be fine and we do something, no problem.

If we're in trouble and we do nothing, we're definitely doomed.

If we're in trouble and we do something, we might have a shot at making things better. If not, at least we tried.

Call it Hawking's Wager. I'm putting my money on "let's not kill all the fish, cut down all the trees, and poison the air."

I don't like the screw it part because it sounds like I'm just being a nihilist. I think we will give rise to the next species relatively soon. AI might take up the mantle or a genetically/technologically augmented form of humans. I don't think this is any worse than a child inheriting his/her parent's wealth. In this situation the wealth is knowledge, the child is whatever comes next, and our responsibility now is to make something we can be proud to call a successor. This doesn't mean our death, just our retirement.

We're going to be just fine... we are going to excel like crazy... they ask the same question all the time. No one is crazy enough to push that button.
