Default Hey Folks

I don't think We'll kill ourselves because the people who control nuclear weapons are too rich to risk losing it. I'm not saying Nukes will not be used in war in the future, it's lightly probable. It's hard to say though. I think the world is going to come into another dark age some time where economies don't work and there's no governmentbut the destruction of the human race and not just the world as we know it is a lot harder to do. I believe societal integrity will be destroyed before we are. Apparantly the world is heading towards barbarism, anti-nationalism. The actual destructiong of us humans will probably be done by something out of our control, at least at the moment it happens anyway. it's possible because of turmoil, most humans will die out from disease and starvation before humanity is completely ended. This can only happen if Global Order is paralyzed. So I'm guesssing we'll go merrily along until the masses become fed up with the leadership detachment and their hardships bringing instability. Once this happens, the sustaining of life for so many people will be impossible and people will starve. Some people will survive of course in remote areas with few where they can fish or whatever. Something then will have to come along and destroy them like a meteor or a globally resident poisonous bug. That's the best rationale I can give. To take a guess, looking at the pace we're going, It's hard for me to see civilized society lasting for more than two thousand more years.
