Yeah. At least until his yes-men high five him and slap him on the back on his way to board the deep space or deep sea vessel that he designed himself.
Im both amazed and terrified at the fact we haven't killed ourselves into extinction.
Cause it becomes easier by the decade every time.
Society is already a balancing act. If anything, the balancing will just get harder.
No we won't (enlightenment). We're in a global idiocracy that just goes downhill, the US showing us all our future. Sooner or later.
Said that 30yrs before, decided for no kids due to that, and just hoped i was wrong. But here we are, worse than i ever imagined. We as a species, i mean.
No
What is "better in general"? I don't particularly mind the human species going extinct, it's unlikely there'll be no life left over. No one knows the nature of the universe.
In any case, it's incredibly unlikely we'll go extinct anytime soon. Maybe climate change etc causes extreme loss of life, but humans are so adaptive, some will surely survive.
No one can even define "enlightenment" either. Maybe we already are, maybe such a thing doesn't exist. Currently, it's just a story element.
