If that happens we might as well climb back into the trees, because we won't have the resouces to run a technological civilization either.
hehe, fair point mate
Of course, once we reach that point we reach that point we are royally fucked anyway.
We only have 5 billion years or so till the sun turns into a red dwarf and eats Earth.
Admittedly we will have wiped each other out in some stupid pointless war by then anyway… more than likely anyway...
We need to hurry!! Think of the kids!!!
