100%
Yes.
Why not? We’ve survived pretty crazy things using sticks and stones. Now we have so much more, and there’s so many more of us to act as redundancy.
Yep.
Even if you aren’t religious (I’m not), I highly recommend reading the bible, and history since say the 1500’s.
Things were objectively MUCH worse prior to the 20th century.
Sorry, I have to ask, what has the Bible got to do with anything?
It’s an easily accessible book that gives a relatively accurate view of how people lived during that time if you disregard the mythology.
Just seems like an unusual choice when what you want to find out is quality of life.
Have you seen the way motherfuckers get treated in the bible?
Fuck kind of question is this? Humans are the most adaptable species on the planet of course we will.
Now, “will billions of humans suffer and die due to man-made phenomena?” Well that’s a question.
Lots of people misinterpret or misunderstand the various threats facing humanity such that they’re expecting extinction.
Kids born today will be 75 in 2100, which at the current state of things will be too young to retire.
Even if there is a major catastrophic, people in the Roman or medieval era made it to 80, it was less common than today, but wasn’t unheard of either
Yeah if you survived childhood you were mostly good until old age
Plenty of people born in 1926 were alive in 2000
Overall? Of course.
People born today? Of course.
Most of us 30-50 year olds here? Probably not.The thing is,
you are not likely to want to continue past a certain point. With my physical disability from the two SUVs that crashed into me on a bicycle commute to work, I was in a room waiting for a doctor to come in around a decade ago. This guy came in and asked me my name and information to verify my identity. He explained he was the x-ray tech and was sure there must have been a mix up. You see, I did not have any remarkable damage occur in one spot. I had damage occur down the entire length of my spine. The x-ray tech said my images looked exactly like the spine of an eighty year old person but the identity was for a thirty year old.
Most people degrade slowly in health to where it is nearly imperceptible to them. I experienced that change in an instant. I feel every bit as slow and stiff as I see the worst 80-90 year olds shuffling around. I cannot sit upright or stand for more than a few minutes at a time. The rest of me is in great shape, but the constant pain wears the mind down in subtle unspeakable ways. The white noise of pain eventually starts to drown out your thoughts. You will reach a point where you just want to rest, to stop the endurance race. Continuing becomes a cantankerous quarrel against the relentless maledictions of death. Extending that tormentuous race is more symbolic that practical. The part to extent is youth and middle age. Some people like running a double Marathon, and I have nothing against their sport, but for most of us, that type of hell is an unspeakable torture, so be careful what you wish for.
Live a classical Epicurean lifestyle as much as possible, and appreciate the sun rose for you today. It is the only today you will ever have. If you live for tomorrow, your life will pass you by before it ever arrives, and you find yourself living for the lost cause of yesterday.
Sorry that happened to you, thank you for sharing!
As in people who are alive, right now?
Absolutely.
Yes?
I think most people born in the years leading up to 2100 will still be alive in 2100.
I don’t have a reason to think they wouldn’t.
Probably at least some of us… There’s a lot of us, and given a year and a few acres anyone with an almanac would have a shot
It’s likely it’ll be a lot more, and we just have a dark age
Yes… but it’s gonna be very expanse-like… but without the UBI thing.
Like everyone grows up in a rough neighborhood like Amos Burton.
Welcome to Baltimore V.69420
I’m a believer that most likely we’ll either have destroyed the planet to the point of ecological disaster destroying civilization as we know it and people will still be around, trying to survive. Or we’ll just nuke the planet and people will still be alive, trying to survive and rebuild.
I’d say a deadly super virus could also be a plausible thing that a few people might magically survive somehow, but it depends on whether Pravus Gaming is playing on mega brutal difficulty or not and whether Greenland shuts down their port and airport. /s
Sure, some will. Not my problem though.
Which specific people are you thinking of
