Humans are gonna be fine, climate change will be our crucible but we've handled worse.

A lot of us might die but I have some weird optimism (I guess) that we are kind of like cockroaches in that some of us will probably survive somehow and then repopulate. Hopefully enough survive such that our gene pool isn't doomed... We already had one mass die off and as a result iirc it takes like 20k-40k humans to have a viable population that won't be plagued with genetic diseases.

It'd have to be a pretty major cataclysm to wipe out ALL humans.

We've weakened our genepool so much by becoming addicted to pharmaceuticals, humanity is doomed. Smoke if you got 'em.

Same. We're hardy as gently caress. Moonbase would be nice peace of mind though.

Honestly I don't know why we aren't spending our trillions of dollars on space weapons. No country could fight it once we had it in place and whatever space weapon we could build is surely better than the F35. If we control space we control the world.

The truth is that WE are the machine elves, just we took too much anti-DMT or whatever and are stuck in this dimension until we die

i've always been into ufo reports but never really believed in aliens and one thing i've noticed is that even "the best" ufo documentaries/books always include a case that's been thoroughly debunked or is obviously the fabrication of a crazy person, e.g., Rendlesham Forest (the "British Roswell" -- it was a Lighthouse and then one guy made up a bunch of poo poo about a UFO landing and changed his story about half a dozen times) or the Betty and Barny Hill abduction case (Betty Hill was a nut who thought every air plane she saw was a UFO and couldn't be convinced otherwise).

I stumbled upon the video of this engineer who is sure that complex life existed on Mars - until it was nuked to hell and back half several million years ago or sth: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zd6xa5VivaE
He also believes that the asteroid ring between Mars and Jupiter was once a planet that was demolished in an even earlier cosmic conflict.


He's quite the conspiracy nut, but the idea itself is kinda cool as a scifi-concept. Would be just the thing you would read while scanning planets in Mass Effect.

Edit: Oh boy, the comments to the video are exaclty the kind of insane poo poo you would experience from the conspiracy crowd:

This is total retardation , MARS IS NOT A PLANET , because PLANETS DO NOT EXIST , all you can see in the biggest telescopes is a diffuse shimmering light , everything ever published , broadcasted or claimed by NASA and other "space agencies " is fake , CGI , stagecraft and parlor tricks . NASA admits it is all artist rendition and " composite " images which are an interpretation of a string of 0 and 1 . There is no ACTUAL evidence those planets exist , or even that the Moon is a ball of rock , it could as well be some kind of light or anything else for that we know ..."

some say the air force x-37 is meant to be some kind of military spaceship, of course some say that u.s. has a treaty with the greys to share technology in exchange for letting them abduct people and perform weird sexy experiments on them
