nuking ourselves into oblivion

Wouldn't be surprised
i want to have hope for the future
world peace probably isnt going to come very soon at all
terraforming mars is just elon musk's dream
not going to happen ANY TIME SOON
intelligent extraterrestrial life? maybe, but the chances are low
understanding what happens inside a black hole? depends on ur definition of understand, we already have theories
a type-1 civilization seems like a vague goal
disease curing seems like the one that could actually happen the soonest
humans are too stupid to do any of these

It's funny how nobody has voted world peace lmfao
Probably the least likely out of the six
Which is honestly sad
doubt it

fully
the issue isnt intelligence (except in leadership, i guess)
its funds and attention

I don't understand why we still are unable to cure so many diseases such as cancer
Considering our technology it's weird
Also aren't humans calculated to reach a Type-I civilization in the 24th century or smth
I could be wrong
i think we are fully capable of it, even right now, but the people who are capable of it don't really want to

Honestly, sometimes conspiracy theorists aren't THAT far-fetched
the ones that are popular usually just have no reason for what they are saying
"the earth is FLAT and the EVIL SECRET GOVERNMENT is HIDING IT from you!!"
okay. literally why
what benefit would they gain from that
slight exaggeration
people just cant get along that well enough to properly cooperate
if every country worked together for only the better cause and not for profit the disease one is getting pretty close
i do think the world is, overall, tending towards more peaceful times
more peaceful than it was in the past
that is ultimately going to be what helps most of these come true

People tend to understand each other more throughout the years, it IS improving
i heavily doubt mars is being terraformed unless world peace is first accomplished

Homophobia and misogyny are no longer normalized
im not sure what the exact definition of type 1 civilization is but it also seems like it relies upon world peace
mere-teal•18h ago
At least by the majority
It has something to do with energy consumption
A type 1 civilization can harness energy from the planet itself
IIRC

Gosh the google AI overview is so troublesoming
Anyway we are apparently expected to reach a type 1 civilization within 85-225 years
