In a world that is in chaos politically,socially&environmentally,how can the human race sustain another100yrs?

Answer 1

Of course. It has always been in chaos and needs to be in chaos for us to survive. The human races success is in finding ways to deal with chaos. What doesn't kill me makes me stronger.

Answer 2

Your question is based on the premise the world faces political, social and environmental chaos at historically unprecedented levels. I contend the world is no worse off today than in previous centuries therefore the human race will most certainly sustain well into the future as we learn to adapt to "evolving chaos".

Answer 3

Why 100 years? Why must the human race sustain itself? The idea that the human race must sustained itself, where did the idea come? I have difficulty explaining why that I must sustain myself, yet for the whole human race. Why only for another 100 years?

Personally looking soulfully within myself, I can not and probably will never explain why I must sustain myself. I could take minutes, hours, days, years, and my whole entire life looking for a probable solution. However, if ever, I do discover a solution, it wouldn’t result to anything extremely enlightening, and if an answer comes then how shall I apply it or enforce it?

The vastness of everything dwarfs our very simplistic questions. Is it good to question or is questioning good? When a person walks through a doorway and they are hit in the head by a rock, should they question why they were struck? To answer this question, I must question, what is governing this person’s path? What forces are acting, which assembles a pause in action? What spinning eddy, which formed from this temporary halt, gives rise to the answer 1 + 1. What is its design?

Truly, by you questioning, you have brought me to send this response, yet I have been born in this politically chaotic system, which allows this type of questioning and response action. So, by answering, is questioning good, comes intuitive or seemly nature, but in the whole measure of things, our small intricate vortex comes not from our sustainability, but from a boy’s river rock rippling the spinning universe drifting it elsewhere. Who then would say 1 + 1 is two?

Answer 4

No problem. The world is in no more or less chaos now, than it was 4, 40, 400 or 4000 years ago. You just think so, as so many people do, because you're in it. Go back to the 1960's, was there world chaos? You bet. How about in Roman years? Absolutely. Try to transcend any time, as just nobody special, and life was very hard and very dangerous and usually very short lived.

Don't waste your short time with such nonsense. Enjoy yourself in this very beautiful, yet chaos filled world.

Answer 5

Of course, the answer to the question of "can the human race sustain another 100 yrs?" is yes. The real question, in my mind is: can human civilization endure for another 100 years?

Literally speaking, humans will survive for another 100 years. However, it seems that larger and larger segments of civilization are degrading and in some cases, collapsing. I think there are two factors that may contribute to society's downfall. First is environmental factors, mostly brought on by our own actions. The second factor is (my prejudice is about to show here) religion.

To address the first issue, we humans are changing the environment rapidly and, perhaps, irreversibly. While this may not cause the demise of all habitable areas, it will, without doubt, have profound effects on many highly populated areas. This will cause major shifts in population with attendant strife. People need to eat, and as populations are forced to leave their no-longer-habitable homes, they will put stess on destination areas. This will result in further environmental degradation as well as political strife.

Religion, of nearly every brand, permits people to avoid responsibility for their surroundings and for their fellow humans. It is easy to justify any thoughts or actions by simply proclaiming it as "God's will." This engenders the attitude of "me and mine above all else" because only I know God. This attitude is seen in radical branches of the major religions; Islam, Judaism, and Christianity. It also drives the policies of most nations who loudly proclaim themselves to be devout, including this country, the United States of America. The current trend seems to be to drift more toward radicalism, rather than centrism. That this is counter to the teaching of major branches of these religions does not seem to slow the descent into radical extremism.

Say what you will about the liberal vs. conservative political debate. If humans cannot come to grips with the fact that there are few either/or or black/white answers to human problems, and if people cannot learn to appreciate their actions' effects on others, and to accept occasional restrictions for the sake of the whole, human civilization cannot be sustained, even if the human race itself survives.

Answer 6

It will never happen. It could happen if everyone stopped being little crybabies. No one wants to see both sides of the story because in their own mind their solution is the only one. If we live and let live things could go smoothly but everyone is looking to be the top dog and no one wants to be number 2. We screwed up when we elected Bush, and Kim Jong Il is actually a two year old who throws a temper tantrum when he doesn't get his way. We won't make it another 100 years. It's as simple as that. We all need to grow up and learn to share.

Answer 7

The assumption in this question is that it has been the human race and is currently the human race that is sustaining itself.
We have come to the limit of our human intelligence. It's time to begin looking outside of ourselves for answers to these kinds of questions. As long as we believe that we are in control of our own destiny here on earth we will continue to reap the benefits of that philosophy.
It's time to seriously consider the hypothesis that there is an intelligence that can answer this question. This intelligence has described itself as "I am". "I AM" became a man 2000 years ago in order to shead light on man's true nature and to show man the way to live in peace and harmony with each other, with nature and with I AM. His name was...you guessed it, Jesus Christ of Nazareth. We are in such serious problems today because we continually, throughout history, including the church itself, forget what He taught us and reject the core values of the message He conveyed.
The teachings of Jesus, recorded in the Holy Bible, indicate that there will not be peace on earth until evil is removed from the earth. Good and evil rest in the hearts of men. When the hearts of evil men are turned to Jesus, the Prince of Peace, the world will see peace.
We can't do it on our own and we've proven that over and over again throughout history.
In the book of Revelation the end of the world is described as a final battle between good and evil. Although it describes an end to the world, this end will be necessary in order to make way for the kind of world that we are yearning for. One where we live in peace and harmony, freedom and joy.
Jesus is the answer to this question.

Answer 8

that is not truly in chaos although, that suggests there is easily no order which could convey about anarchy. maximum international locations have governments that govern politics & the ambience. not positive what you skill about socially in chaos; because some have more advantageous than others? that is not chaos, that is survival of the fittest.

Answer 9

ONLY IF THE HUMAN RACE CAN LET GO OF IT'S CONCEPT OF GOD ! MANKIND IS HIDING BEHIND IT'S GOD !! GOD WAS CREATED BY MAN THOUGH HIS IGNORANCE ! THE WORD GOD COMES FROM THE WORD " GOOD " AN ALL OF US KNOW GOOD BUT NONE OF US KNOW GOD ! WHEN WE REPLACE THE WORD GOD WITH THE WORD GOOD THEN AN ONLY THEN CAN WE SEE THE TRUTH !!

Answer 10

hopefully, someone will come up with that answer and by that time, we can save the earth, including our people
