    We humans have had a good run, haven't we?

    It takes a long time to kill something strong--Sears still has nine stores left, even though it's been dying for 50 years (since before e-commerce!)

    As for we humans, #COVID19 continues to mutate, bird flu is gaining traction, global warming is accelerating, billionaires are threatening democracy to increase their wealth, nationalism is rising, and Russia expanded its bioweapon labs. I wonder how long we have--it could be centuries, but maybe not.

      I'm feeling optimistic, I think we're on the cusp of change. Perhaps now is just when the stupid and violent die off and those who are smart enough to mask and protect themselves and peaceful enough to coexist and adapt to the changing world will survive.

      The meek will inherit the earth?

      It could be centuries, in some form. But I believe we are guaranteed to see a collapse of society within the next two generations. Whatever the timescale, in the broad scale of things, overshoot is happening now.
      I don't believe at all that means we shouldn't do anything about it; trying to arrest the rate of change is always worth the effort. But I think it's wise to be realistic before you can be genuinely optimistic about the adaptability and survivability of our species.
