How can the human race survive the next hundred years?

Question

In a world that is in chaos politically, socially and environmentally, how can the human race sustain another 100 years?

Answer 1

We must stop wasting time and evolve spiritually. Change our belief that we can do it by ourselves with out help from God. We must start using our blueprint for life. Do unto others, as you would have others do unto you. Learn to love. Realize that love is what is important. This will change our value systems.

Answer 2

This is an easy one. If the world gets too hot, we've proven that we can survive it because the "Cradles of Civilization" were in hot, dry areas. If the world gets cold, then we've already proven that we can withstand ice ages, and that's without any "high" technology. If the world gets overpopulated, it will, out of necessity, balance itself out. I don't think we need to worry about surviving the next 100 years. The real question is how to we keep the next 100 years from becoming the next Dark Age.

Answer 3

There are a lot of problems and if things go wrong, civilization could be in jeopardy. But the human race would still survive. If there is some God awful nuclear holocaust, or if the planet gets hit by a big enough meteor, everybody dies, but other than that, the human race would survive in a lot of places even with a total economic collapse, deadly epidemics, and big horrible wars.

Answer 4

the only practical realistic plan i know of is the one laid out in my other answers here at yahoo and at www.globalhappiness.org [not an org]

but it seems there is not enough responsibility, maturity, realism, leadership, awakeness, in people

not enough will to be happier and safer and saner

not enough will to increase chances of survival

not enough people asking: how can we survive?

not enough people with sincerity, seriousness, sobriety

not half enough - not a billionth enough

ten years i have been putting this plan out

i have one taker

and, besides that one, i have not had one intelligent discussion or comment

not one spark of interest or enthusiasm

even though i prove that everyone agrees with it, and that it will work

even though it gives every family in the world another US$70,000 a year

establishes sustainable capitalism,

is consistent with the lesson of history, all wisdom, and with the fundamental of the american dream

establishes real democracy and freedom

reduces war and crime by [something of the order of]99%

is safe, easy, strugglefree, free

involves absolutely nothing except learning it and teaching it to two friends - no meetings, no leader [except yourself, of yourself]

what is missing?

the engine of humanity

will YOU check out this plan?

will you discuss it?

will you labour to see it?

will you dismiss it carelessly?

autommatically assume there is something wrong with it?

Answer 5

to be honest, with how im seeing the new generation develop, and with everything happening all over the world...i dont know that it can.
