We still have many more years to evolve and become better as a species. Just imagine what we can accomplish in 100,000 years, or even a million.

Conflict is in our nature. I don't think we can evolve past it. Especially when we probably aren't evolving anymore because of our medical technology, 'good' and 'bad' genes both remain in the genepool.

Our civilization has only been around for around 6000 years. That's a speck of dust in the grand scheme of things. We've accomplished a lot in just 100 years since the industrial revolution. Imagine what we will do in 100,000 years.

This reminds me of a headline I saw a couple of days ago. A cryogenics company insisting that their hundreds of patients arent dead. Didnt go into it, so I have no idea what that was about.

Theres next to no chance that there will still be humans in 100,000 years. In the last hundred years what weve accomplished is creating weapons that could destroy the planet quickly while we kill it more slowly through our consumption habits.

We've survived many, many catastrophic events in the past. Black plague, the countless wars over history, floods, tsunamis, etc, etc. We'll survive for many more generations. We're good at that. We're only getting better at it too. Once we start colonizing other worlds, we can neve go extinct.

This won't happen btw, those worlds are moving away from us at a faster and faster rate and we'll never catch up because it's not possible due to physical laws.

No, actually. You may not see much value in humanity looking up through your sewer grate, but there is an unfathomable amount of human culture that deserves preservation.

Seriously, go outside for 15 minutes before decrying the value of human life.

Not correct. Galaxies are moving away from us. The stars in our galaxy will always be in the same position from us. Also, if it gets to the point that everything is too far away, we would have found a way to transcend our physical bodies to something less tangible.

Culture is arbitrary and meaningless, and you didn't even contribute anything to it anyway.

Ok, let's hear it then. How do we transcend our physical bodies.

Lol we don't even have flying cars still, it's not happening. Work to protect the things you do have instead of falling for the scifi ramblings of elon musk

I don't know. I'm just saying it will take a long, long time for something like stars and galaxies to be too far away from us. Something in the realm of billions of years.

If we are still here in a billion years, we would have eventually discovered how to do things that we cannot imagine today. With all that time, anything is possible.

When you remember that it has been entirely decided for you in a way that's entirely arbitrary (i.e. people who happen to have power dictating which things they happen to have seen have meaning) and that you're just marching in step with those dictations, yes. I'd say that's arbitrary and meaningless. You wouldn't even notice a "Starry Night" if it were just some random person's deviant art entry, you value it because you were told to.
