I couldn't care less.

Even 100 years from now, it'll be all new people.

It's going to be by way of a nuclear holocaust. It's inevitable.
The major geopolitical powers that dominate our present civilization really
have no other choice. Why?
Because of our present economic system and the poisonous values and philosophies
it has spawned.
The only rational thing to do is to attempt a do-over. Reload the Matrix.
Think about it; in a thermonuclear war there is no such thing as a Pyrrhic victory.
The last one standing not only is the winner, but they get to remake the Matrix in their own image.

He's so brainy and yet says something so... dopey.
The world, barring an astronomical catastrophe, will be able to support life for a LONG time. Eventually it will die, the sun will destroy it. Not much we can do about that.

I know, damn those volcanoes and asteroids! We should pass laws banning them from causing damage!

We're NOTHING. Sollopcistic ass humans just don't get it. We're special only in that our planet sits where it does, hence giving us life. This planet wasn't made for us...we're just another species as far as the cosmos is concerned; not that it's "concerned" about us at all (sorry for the pathetic fallacy).

Just thank your lucky stars that you were ever here despite the tremendous odds against it.

............ummmm.................... superior intelligence.

Did the dinosaurs ever land on the moon or send out probes to Mars and out of the solar system?

Already we are not that far from the realization of landing humans on Mars. Terraforming is a real possibility. How long do you think it will be before we have realistic propulsion systems that permit man to leave our solar system?

We are capable of great things. Our future will ultimately be beyond earth- it is just a matter of time.

Now we just need to get the left to stop fostering and promoting an increased birth rate among those with the lowest IQs to prevent the planet from being populated with idiots, sealing our fate.

In addition to stopping the regressive/reactionary, anti-human environazi death cult that's percolating among the left as well.
