Sure it will, notice I didnt put any timeline on it. Maybe it will take 1000 years, but it will happen eventually, unless you think the extintion of the human race is nigh.[/quote]
lol… Well on a 1000 year time line, it’s feasible. Extinction on the other hand is an interesting concept to think about. We definitely have the potential and is something we may chose to do. I don’t mean chose, as in a shadowy group of rapture nuts deciding to let lose some nukes(which is not completely out of the question), more of like an alcoholic constantly drinking and driving until he kills himself. Which is kind of analogous to our cycles of collapsing empires we’ve been in for the past 7000 years and seem to be coming to the close of another one. A die-off is more likely scenario with our fatal social structures and poisonous ideologies unless we dramatically change. I tend to be an optimist and think we will do a 180 over the next few years and pull away from the abyss. Though, its not certain and we surely may continue or foolish ways
As the scientist who helped eradicate smallpox he certainly know a thing or two about extinction.
And now Professor Frank Fenner, emeritus professor of microbiology at the Australian National University, has predicted that the human race will be extinct within the next 100 years.
He has claimed that the human race will be unable to survive a population explosion and ‘unbridled consumption
I tend to be more in line with this fellow from the same article, that we have a window…. not an specific timeline, though
And it comes after Professor Nicholas Boyle of Cambridge University said that a ‘Doomsday’ moment will take place in 2014 – and will determine whether the 21st century is full of violence and poverty or will be peaceful and prosperous.
