In all honest to god sincereity. . . How long do you think makind will go on for? Do you feel that we will never be extinct? Is that possible? Will our species luck out that much, in becoming that advanced. That we'll just go on forever and ever? Because idealy, there are many ways of us being taken out. Many people believe that "religiously fanatics" will be the ones to bring forth the end. (R&S section for that one!LOL.)Many believe that just plain old nature will do us in. The sun just exploding one day and we go with it. Mother nature getting sick of us with Global warming or some other chaotic, natural, wide-spread event.
So the question is, do you feel that mankind can or will go on forever?
Sorry if the question is depressing. . .

I think some people like to think of the end as a way of avoiding the thought of it, its self, to avoid the guilt of not having done what we could some time ago. It is as possible as impossible. There are fanatics who are bent on destroying the ego as proof for their purity, but it is a blasphemy for life, sacrilege against the mind. The healthy ego knows positively, the unhealthy destroys its self, and the superego destroys everything else.
The Will is positive, the Judgment is negative.

Humanity will go on as long as its intellect can confront catastrophe effectively. Once a catastrophe is larger than humanity's intellect can overcome then it will end.
In the end, life grows and humanity will continue to push outward as far as it can because it is natural. This may result in extraterrestrial pioneering which will temporarily solve the dilemma of earth bound catastrophe.

I do not see us controlling much within 800 years and we will have collapsed into religious chaos in another 70 years.

The answer to that question is now in our control. The control mentality is not healthy.
