You'll perhaps get your wish. I went to a lecture last year about the progress of science and how dangerous it's becoming. All humans make mistakes but in Galileo's time, if he made a mistake, it was just a man looking through the wrong end of a telescope. Mistakes these days have harsher consequences and will continue to become ever harsher. All things considered, the person giving the lecture said that we only have a 50/50 chance of being here in 250 years. And, in 500 years, the chance of us existing is virtually negligable.
From a very negative prognosis, I take the positives. You are I are here at the twilight of humanity, when everything was as developed as it could be, without life being unlivable. We're fortunate to live in these times. Exceptionally fortunate!
I hate humanity and real world so much that I want 2012 to come true!
