It's not a promise.Scrumple wrote:Humans are going to die out. This age of progress is a empty promise and every critical issue is pushed onto the next generation until hey presto a generation with insurmountable issues and then civilization collapse. The few survivors will have to deal with a unpredictable climate and living in the ruins of all that has gone, with chemical hazards and everything. I don't know why I even argue the case when it is self evident from the record of other great apes that dying out is very common.
And, humans would die out without technological innovation, so Luddites offer no better outcome.
But you are right, all of the great ape civilizations dying out due to technological advancement are self evident...
