Nine Questions About Our Possible Future (Or The Lack Thereof)

1. How comfortable are you with the idea that Homo Sapiens, just like every other species, is doomed to eventual extinction?

2. How comfortable are you with the idea that the human species may go extinct in the not-too-distant future?

3. How comfortable are you with the thought that many coastal cities, in which much of the global population lives, will be underwater by the end of the century?

4. How comfortable are you with the thought that reduced snow-pack and glacial melt will wipe out entire farming regions, on which billions of people depend?

5. How comfortable are you with the reality of national boundaries dissolving under the influx of political, economic and environmental migrants?

6. How comfortable are you with the idea of overwhelmed health care systems leading to much higher disease loads, widespread mortality from currently preventable causes, much higher infant mortality and much lower life expectancy?

7. How comfortable are you with the thought that, due to shortages of nonrenewable resources of all kinds, dense population centers will not be maintainable, turning cities into death traps?

8. How comfortable are you with the prospect that unstable and extreme weather will make farming and kitchen-gardening unreliable, forcing the few survivors to revert to a nomadic lifestyle, gleaning what they can when and where they can, then moving on?

9. How comfortable are you with the prospect of civilized, urban humanity going extinct, being survived by widely dispersed, feral populations of hominids that eventually evolve into different hominid species?
