How do we preserve a future for our species?
Human species future
Fuck off Earth niggers we were here first!
ayy lmao fairy tales
believe
>solutionX LOL
yes, we must try
Planet X aka nibiru
ever herd of it son?
Sure, the hypothesis says 3600 years orbital cycle. But there are other factors that might have decimated previous civilizations. The question is - how do we prepare?
purge the undesirables
Pantropy.
Take to the stars, BECOME the stars. Leave behind the stormfags and shitskins, they'll never modify themselves for greatness.
"Planet X" has been perpetually "arriving in the next 3 years" since the 80's. it's a hoax. And a bad one at that.
Possibly. I said: hypothesis.
But something caused that Atlantis sank, and it can repeat, for instance.
"Do not try to save the species, that's impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth...there is no species. Then you will see it is not the species that is saved, it is only yourself."

sounds like long-term... dream?
Why does your plan include so much killing?
That sounds like a great plan desu.
Breakaway civilizations. Airships in the 1930's were advanced enough to reach anywhere on Earth.
>Breakaway civilizations
How does it save our species? We are at 7B now.
We don't. At best we'll explore and colonize a few places in the solar system before we die off and that's an maximally optimistic prediction.
Just put down the fedora and accept that humanity is finite and will eventually cease to exist.
>At best we'll explore and colonize a few places in the solar system before we die off
Do you mean 5B years before the Sun dies? Not bad IMO- it looks hopeful - long term.
>Do you mean 5B years before the Sun dies?
There are many catastrophic events likely to happen nearer in the future than a red giant Sun. It's also not entirely a matter of dying off but also of hitting a technological plateau or reaching the general limits of humanity. Whig history is a terrible meme that's going to die hilariously in the future.
we can't lol.
it doesn't matter what we do in the long run. theoretically, any second our meta-stable universe could transition into a more stable state, and everything would be gone. it may have already happened for all we know - it would travel at the speed of light, so perhaps it just hasn't reached us yet.
we are going to die out on this planet and really it doesn't matter one way or another. a billion years from now when the sun starts to melt our planet, some of our buildings will still likely be here (underwater, perhaps, if there are oceans anymore) but even then, it's like we weren't here at all.
how can you think we are so special as to escape any of this?
EVEN if we do manage to colonize space, given a far enough time span, even the very molecules that physically make us up will begin to reach their half-lives. the leading theory is that in trillions of years, every star will be gone/burned out, every galaxy will be gone, and there will be nothing but things called "iron stars", which aren't around yet because not enough time has passed for them to be.
i would worry with something more meaningful that impacts your life now.
>i would worry with something more meaningful that impacts your life now.
A major solar storm or giant volcanic eruption can happen within 100 years. Is it meaningful enough?
>There are many catastrophic events likely to happen nearer in the future than a red giant Sun
Obviously. So, how do we prepare?
For most of them you don't. For the ones that are avoidable you're question is way too vague because of the sheer number of them that are statistically likely to happen in thousands to millions of years.
>major solar storm
Wouldn't know where to begin here t b h. You can't control the Sun.
>giant volcanic eruption
If these can be observed beforehand you might be able to implement some engineering project to release some pressure or something, but I don't think that's even feasible at the current level of technology. Supervolcanoes are totally unavoidable though.
I get your points but at the moment WE are not ready at all.
I believe you're still thinking too scientistically, though nowhere near as retarded as the
>future will be Star Trek but with more buttsex and transhumanism too
>science will solve all problems and will never stop getting better
that's common in pop culture these days. Yes humanity needs to be preparing for natural black swan events but the civilization destroying ones are mostly out of our technological reach to prevent. Our fates are not our own unfortunately.
Maybe Kurt Vonnegut was right, maybe the wrath of an angry god of some kind evicts the stormfags, shitskins and other luddites from a healing Earth. Imagine all of them stuck in a hollowed asteroid-hab in Earth's L4 point, fighting over stupid shit, unable to leave. Meanwhile, the true inheritors of civilization take to the other planets and eventually other stars, bit by bit.
One species becomes the vacuum-adapted equivalent of aphids, birthing themselves across planetary rings laden with microgravity plants. Another becomes aquatic, another Mars-adapted, yet another living in the comet clouds encapsulating star systems...
>Our fates are not our own unfortunately.
Consider this: Imagine Noah was thinking like you and didn't build the Ark because - muh, fate. You would not be here.
Noah had a warning from God. And his story makes no sense.
I never said that we should do nothing. It would be wise to keep a close eye on the Sun, Yellowstone, Toba, the orbits of asteroids, nearby gamma sources, etc., but we're already doing all of this. Until someone can articulate how exactly any of these catastrophes in waiting can be diverted then any measures taken are meaningless.
Yeah but that still can't fully explain why he couldn't fucking save that Ronaldinho free kick.
Biblical stories are mostly symbolic messages, don't you think? And pre-flood civilization was very likely to exist.
massive and total genocide of non-euros
>Until someone can articulate how exactly any of these catastrophes in waiting can be diverted
Diverting is one thing, surving them if they happen is another.
>One species becomes the vacuum-adapted equivalent of aphids, birthing themselves across planetary rings laden with microgravity plants.
Universe as a giant recycling system?
