I knew it!  LOLThanks for being honest about the game planLOLWink

but...

after you kill the last evil productive capitalists, do you really think the rest of the surviving mobs are going to be peaceful and just play nice with each other?

After they kill those who keep the order in this society, I'd rather be dead than live with what that aftermath looks like.

Once mechanics enters the realm of the molecular we will be able to re-engineer anything that is malign into something more benign - this means anything from virus and humans all the way up to asteroids and whole planets.
 
 
 


That is so cool to think about. Thumbs Up

after thinking about this for awhile, I've decided that the human race should be around for another 2300 years. Why I come up with this number, I have no idea. The year 2800 or 790 years from now is so completely do-able, espescially since human beings all over the world have this in common: We all want to Live.

Yes, but it won't be pretty cause there will be a nuclear war and the goverments will build vaults all around the world where people will go live, then someone will escape in search of their fater a few hundred years later and find the world under the control of super mutants, raiders, The Enclave and Brotherhood of Steel.

There will be a clone of Dubya in the White House, and of Brown in Downing Street.

Sure not pretty.Angry

Yes, we'll be here, but I cant imagine tis will be a great place to be. If global warming predictions are true - and yes, that's a big IF - then half of the UK will have been under water long before 2800. I imagine there will have been some big regional wars, in which nuclear weapons will have been used, rendering large parts of the world uninhabitable. The ever increasing population of the world may have been curtailed by some of these conflicts, indeed that may have been the subtext behind some of them. There will have been a bid to establish a one world government and currency, which may or may not have been a success. Religion will have been consigned to the history books..

On the other hand, things may be absoluetly fantastic. Science may have moved on to such a point, that diseases such as cancer and AID's are history. We may have colonies on the moon, maybe Mars. We may have established contact with other beings in the universe....

That said, my money is still on us basically being f***ed!
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

I give the human race another 1000 years at least, the rest depends on your definition of "thriving".  Continuing on the path we are today those of us in traditionally strong countries will soon be living in Terry Gilliam's Brazil.  Be hard to say who will be where in 800 years but the near future belongs to the citizens of countries like Georgia, this I am sure of.

Very funny, I think we are toast already (in a certain way) but 790 years from now, I do believe we will be gone....periodConfused
I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

Humans are an extraordinarily resourceful species. It may not resemble society as we know it today, but I would be very surprised if we're not still here and doing just fine.
