The human is an evolutionary perversion. Adapting to its own destruction. Carry on.

We are not the first. Evolution by natural selection can by its very nature have no foresight, it only addresses the short term and fits creatures for the existing situation.

Prepare or "adapt" for burn up?

In 5.4 billion years from now, the sun will enter what is known as the red giant phase of its evolution. This will begin once all hydrogen is exhausted in the core and the inert helium ash that has built up there becomes unstable and collapses under its own weight.

thinking about humanity existing on a scale like that ....... too much.

…an evolutionary experiment. Self-destruction is an option. Pessimist?

maybe so...but i wonder how many weapons or mutual funds mankind has invented, or levers and buttons, or chemicals or genetic manipulations, but never used. not many, not yet.

Humans are trying to get by in our modern world with a Stone Age brain that has not evolved much since the Pleistocene area,so it is easy to understand why we are destroying the planet

we are destroying the planet, not because of a stone age brain but a money aged brain where eating is too small of a concern next to how much coin one can gather.

it is a terrible thing to unleash free will on a universe, i think

the universe was/is begging for it.

@hankster hmm
my guess is that the universe has a handy mechanism/remedy for it anyway 🙂

and strangely enough, the world is better today by any measure one might come up with, than it ever has been in the past; we even have metrics and websites for this

@bbyrd009 extermination? by any measure? the oceans are less polluted? the air is cleaner? the rivers and streams are healthier? the numbers and quality of life for many species worldwide are superior to those in the past? Q-anon been ringing your doorbell?

@hankster sorry, you kinda lost me @ "extermination?"

@bbyrd009 the universes' handy mechanism.

@hankster ah, thought so...well, a few, enough, always survive? I guess we've already had a couple pretty severe bottlenecks, genes-wise

but tbh i suspect that the ptb are engineering this one for their own ends, georgia guidestones an all that

@bbyrd009 once you get in a bottleneck it's hard to get out.
