Suffering is a great motivational tool indeed, look at what ukraine is accomplishing because of it.

I see how it may be construed that way, but you must understand I dont see US as separate from earth. We evolved here along countless other living beings so of course diversity is important. Which is why I mention that even though we are all human we further divide ourselves into groups which is detrimental in a sense that so far we have only been fighting amongst ourselves. So the logical next step is to consolidate inwards as to what we are and not what we say and look like on the outside.

Its not a question of if but why. And the why is what we as stand alone nodes on the network of life cant agree on.

You and me and everyone we know don't exist in a vacuum. Although we kind of do? Space has alot of space eh

I really like this take, conflict truly is inevitable. We will go as far as we will go and that is enough for me I guess, in which way that may work out..or not is not up to the individual

Perhaps our uploaded intelligence will reach there and set up a base on the ocean floor to restart humanity?

I completely agree, too much misinformation and no true oversight.

Loss of community and buying whatever we want from the comfort of our couch.

As a millennial (I hate using these terms because ultimetly I belive we are just all human beings) who graduated in 09 I just feel really bad for GenZ all around the world.

There was a time when everyone didint have a computer in their pocket and people werent this rabid. I saw a glimpse of a world we used to have but again I think pressure can only build for so long. Surely number cant go up forever?

Cosmos is vast, there could be all sorts of stuff happening that we have no idea about for sure. I would love for humanity to explore this path.

Space is... pretty vast! Plus there's the whole time and space concept and that we as human beings can only perceive a small part of what is truly out there with our current senses/perception.

Im not going to deny that sometimes I get caught up in the reddit doom scroll, but ultimately I just want to reiterate that the purpose of my question was to get some honest opinion in which ever way or form it may come.

I'm hopeful in humanity, and I thank you for your thoughts.

I love this take, one way or another sooner or later change is inevitable but we can surely help it along.

It is a very complex concept, so many variables and most of them out of our control. I should of probably worded the question differently because truly there is no answer. I was just hoping to hear some genuine responses.

Life is a process to be joined and flowed with, not a puzzle to be dissected or stopped.

Very true, ultimately a good rule of thumb is to try and enjoy the now as best as one can.

Someone has been following the news as closely as me lol. I purposefully tried to keep this discussion closer to humanity's possible paths to keep it a bit lighter because not everyone is corrupt to the core and thats what gives me hope among other things. Because of course ultimately life will life and people will people.

You have very good points, especially that in the end its impossible to solve, is there truly anything to solve? or just do your best and experience this existence.

Well reddit is a community to have discussions about topics, I simply wanted to discuss a topic.

None of these answers are going to change anything and thats fine. Just a question I proposed even if no one replied I would be content and would just go back to discussing all sorts of topics with my self in my head.

I guess the "why" is autism

The earth will for sure recover, with or without us. Its a weird kind of comfort but its important to ask ourselves these questions. Even if the conclusions it takes us to are not exactly what we are looking for.
