So you guys, let's have it out right now. How many of you think that the human race/most mammalian life will be extinct before the end of the century? And why?

Does the "why" matter at this point? We have avowed nihilists such as the poster above saying they don't care so long as they get to consume their way around culture before "the Road" becomes a reality, so why bother? John Oliver's show recently cited a study that said octopi are more prone to hugging once they ingest ecstasy, so it's not like a mammalian-devoid globe will be all awful.

I'm sorry? What about what I said makes you think I'm a nihilist?

Oh, the we're too far gone to fix anything so let's just ride the wave baby rhetoric. I'm sorry if I misinterpreted that, though!

Who will make the ecstasy though? Or do they have to wait until cephalopods evolve chemistry skills?

Good question. Humans have been quite good at making chemicals that gently caress our brains up, but this might not be a universal trait at all.
