What if we create colonies throughout the universe to secure our existence? What if we encounter other intelligent life that help us create an environment of cooperation? Perhaps even an intergalactic hub with multiple intelligence species!!!!!
What do you think? Are we doomed? Or is there hope?
Yes and no.
Ultimately if we don't take ourselves out, our planet will or a meteor or commit will, and the sun ultimately dies in any case, and there will be a few more mass extinction events before the sun dies in any case.
Short term humans are our own worst enemy. We have nukes and we are causing global warming.
Can we delay our finite ride? That depends on humans putting problem solving and diplomacy above tribalism.
