1. It does look dismal now

And a betting man would put his money on extinction of the earth as a life supporting system.
But
I have a )spiritual ) belief that we will go through a dramatic change in the nature of man that will be just in time to save this earth for at least a little while longer.
At least that is my hope and my faith.

2. In terms of a ratio...its 80% Dismal and 20% Bright....I can go with that

Thanx

3. I say Dismal for life as we know it, but I also have a belief that this is the

harbinger of a new life for our planet and for the people who remain.

even if tech poor....

4. who knows?

Sooner or later humankind will perish. Every generation tends to cast its own mortality into time, and predict we're nearing the end. That's particularly true in times of crisis.

Personally, it's not something I obsess over. What happens, happens.

7. Mans potential is to reach them stars out there via space fleets with

repositories of Earth Life for seeding....many humans to colonize and exploration.

Instead we focus on the mundane/moot

80% of us have a dark outlook for this to happen

5. Future hopefull - but only after we get rid of *. Not until then.
