We all live in this planet living day to day without worrying about the future,we are stuck in a cycle of consumption as the world population continues to increase,we got wars going on in some parts of the world,and I ask myself,Wars are horrible..but aren't they necessary? Sure making homes in other planets sounds nice in theory but its really expensive and by the time we successfully terraform another planet,it might already be too late, so like I said are wars the only solution? If we had no wars we would die anyways when the planet`s resources died out,plus on top of the current wars we got all those natural disaster going on that been prophesied by both religious people and scientists.
Is there really nothing to be done? I'm just a simple man who will be nothing more than an electrician or a plumber,am I stuck here living everyday just waiting for someone/something higher than me to come and kill me?
And one last thing,why is reality scarier than fiction? In fiction the bad guys always have a weakness(whether its a vampire or a terrorist),but in reality sometimes they don't...I would rather fight demons in hell than have to kill another human
Meh I know I'm gonna get dissed by alot of you..maybe this is the wrong forum to post in..but..
Hahahahahahah this is awesome. War as the way you represent it (getting rid of humans faster?) is completely unnecessary, in fact the notion of a "just" war itself has been hotly debated over the years. The last "just" war that could have occurred would have been World War II in which a commonly accepted "good" conflicted with a commonly accepted "evil."
The lack of resources won't lead to our destruction for some amount of time, and by then alternate solutions will have opened up. Where I live right now is actually the epicenter of alternative resource development in the world and I can say with some certainty (my dad works for one of these companies) that the energy crisis
will be averted well before the mutual destruction of the human race. If you are talking about water, we have already established the process of desalination and thus we can take it from seas.
The "prophesied" natural disasters are being overly exaggerated here as well. Sure the Tsunami and Hurricane Katrina were horrible things, but they absolutely
did not lead to the mutually ensured extermination of the human race. Overpopulation really isn't that big of a concern, increased education and family planning in overpopulated areas can easily check this back.
In fact I'd argue that your fear of
basically everything creates a self-fulfilling prophecy in which the mutually ensured destruction of humanity happens. If everyone lives in a constant state of fear is produces paralysis means that nothing will ever get done to start solving these problems. You're argument that "nothing can be done" is UNIQUELY the reason why these problems are in existence and a threat right now, and the entire apathetic mindset is counterproductive to society as a whole if we are to in fact solve for these problems.
