Should the human race attempt to survive the next 100 years? If so, what makes us worthy of living here?

Answer 1

Well, of course we can't help but attempt to survive because it's in our very nature to fight death.

What makes us worthy of living here? Good question. We've pretty much destroyed the earth that was given to us. Maybe we're not worthy.

Answer 2

I will survive. That is what so many people think and breathe eveyday. To ask a question that should the human race attempts to survive is not an option. It should will the Human Race survive? As a problem comes up we as thinking living organisms try to overcome it by mental ability or sheer dumb luck. This is also what makes us worthy. We have overcome the obstacles in the past and we will continue too. When we cannot overcome the problem or obstacle and we kill ourselves then we are no longer worthy.
Short Version: We survive therefore we are worthy.

Answer 3

Humanity doesn't have a choice. We have survived as a species for the better part of 100,000 years. Breezed through an ice age and survived a super vocano that killed of 70% of us. So tell me how we can become extinct in a meer century? Nuclear wars are local affairs most of the planet will be annoyed by a long winter. Nothing new, look up the year without a summer just a century and a half ago. It may suck to be us during one of these little episodes but we will adapt and survive. Its what we do best. Personally I'm planning a long retirement well into 2080 just incase I manage to make it.

Answer 4

The only way to determine whether a species is worthy of living is whether it's alive after doing everything it can to survive. Therefore we should continue doing everything we can to survive, and if we're still here in 100 years, then we will have been worthy of survival. When we are not worthy something more worthy will take our place, ala evolution.

Answer 5

I'm glad you put it in those terms. Why should we survive, and not die off to let another species arise to take our place...? Are we not intelligent enough to break free of the evolutionary struggle to survive...? Do we not see the absurdity of existing, when our intellect only leads us to question the validity of our own existence...? Each of us can only be in one place at a time, so with respect to all other persons or places, our absence is everywhere, like that of one deceased. Our absence approaches totality. What if it were total? Why should it not be total? Earth is a tiny grain of sand, spinnning in endless emptiness. Wipe the film of moisture and air off the surface of the planet, and what difference will it make? who will notice...? Why should anybody care, whether the human race survives, or not...? Will Venus, or Mars, or the Sun, care...? If there is no mind or personality in the universe, there is no reason to think that we need to exist. Our own reasons may only be the results of our own sex drive and indigestion. What makes us think our desire to live counts for anything...? What makes us think that we are intelligent? Aren't we just fooling ourselves...? Is there no pattern to reality, save that which we imagine after staring at it too long, at an ink blot, or in the bottom of our beer mug? Since we must die anyway, why wait? Do you think that you will regret it later?

Think about these things sometime when you can't sleep and you're cleaning your gun. And please don't discourage other people by asking such questions any more.

Answer 6

Worthiness of living does not come automatically as many assume. Just as the fittest species survive, ipso facto only those who respect their environment enough to protect it, are humble, discliplined, and with positive attitude will survive the next 100 years. Simple and commonsencical as it may sound, actually the greatest threat to environment is posed in this day and age by indiscriminate industrialization, the terrorists, and misuse of the nuclear technology which will take the lifes of countless millions.

Answer 7

Fact is there are already people who have ensured their survival through the next hundred yeas( or their children's survival). Being worthy has nothing to do with it. As long as we think, therefore we are. worthiness doesn't come into play

Answer 8

this could be an hassle-free one. If the international gets too warm, we've shown that we are able to proceed to exist it because of the fact the "Cradles of Civilization" have been in warm, dry aspects. If the international gets chilly, then we've already shown that we are able to stand up to ice a while, and that's with none "extreme" technologies. If the international gets overpopulated, this is going to, out of necessity, stability itself out. i don't think of we ought to stress approximately surviving the subsequent one hundred years. the actual question is the thank you to we shop the subsequent one hundred years from transforming into the subsequent dark Age.

Answer 9

Are you saying we should all TRY to die? Not even try to live and make things better? What a defeatist attitude! If you think like that, do not have any children. If everybody just stopped having children, they your goal of the human race going extinct would come true.

Answer 10

It is sadly not our choice that we are put here in the first place. But u can choose to have or not have babies. But once we are here, its natural instinct that helps us to survive.

U are right. Nothing super great happening in this world overall. But little things that happen can make us happy and carry on until our end. And who knows, those little things can make our lives worth living!!
