And interesting look on our imminent extinction

[2k_rammerizkool]

Everyone knows that humans will die out some day, right? Well, my dad and i discussed this yesterday...and he revealed some rather interesting views on earth and it's species.

Let's start with the dinosaurs. They lived for millions of years, right? Well, let's see what they did over that time.

Ate animals

Ate plants

Died

Reproduced

As you can see, there are not many things that they did, which may be the reason they lived so long as a species. However, that list is also the reason for why they died.

They ate animals, which can throw the ecosystem off balance.

They ate plants, which ultimately meant deforestation, reduced air, and less food for herbivores.

They reproduced, which can cause overpopulation, which just increases the effects i listed above by even more. With more of a dominant species, there will be even less plants, and even less animals. Plus, they reproduce even more, which means that eventually, they will run out of food.

---

Now, imagine that scenario with humans. Essentially, we are doing even more than the dinosaurs did to cause their eventual extinction, so basically, i fear our time on this earth is very limited.

Chew on this for a while.

I disagree... I think that humans will survive just as long as the dinosaurs and probably longer. I acknowledge that we are on the path to extinction through what we are doing, but I think that if any of these issues become a major problem in the future, for example eating and limiting our resources, that our species is intelligent enough to find a solution. We will eventually die out, as you said, but maybe not so soon.

Stevie this has brought your iq down to 121 from 122.... We don't need trees for oxygen... 85% of oxygen comes from the ocean believe it or not... Plus there is always a new way to harness something else for fuel. And in around 153 years i believe we will have finally developed a foolproof way to "create/produce" the elements we need from energy....
