Don’t matter most of the current people in power will be deceased due to old age or some age related illness. So why should they care for?

Guess we’ll be going Mad Max style! Who wants to be master and who wants to be blaster is the best question now?

I don't comprehend that acronym and can find no mention of it in Google.

The closest I can find is Index of Orthodontic Treatment Needed (IOTN) which is is a scale designed to measure the orthodontic needs of a patient.

Kilkenny, but Dublin is more fun

I've honestly given up thinking that this species capable of understanding the universe has much more of a future. Our species may survive the century and maybe stick around for a little bit longer but this current profit and growth focused civilisation so dependent on consumerism and a completely unsustainable way of life for many of us has no future. We've been indoctrinated into accepting this is reality when it's not. It's all the shared delusions of one species that's advanced far quicker than it can adapt to, getting lost in this world of our own imaginings.

The human species at this point capable of civilization has been around for only 0.0000022% of the earth's lifespan, and we've convinced ourselves that the way things are now are the way things should be, not realising how absolutely absurd things are, and even grasping how so much has happened in only a few insignificant decades.

We're not on track at all to keep under that 1.5°c increase at all by 2050 that our useless politicians tried to stick to. We're likely crossing it within the next 10 years, and potentially hitting 4°c by 2050.

Things are far more severe than we're being told, either because our governments and media are viewing things from a humancentric point of view where we always come out on top and sheer ingenuity is going to fix it, or they know and are trying to keep us from panicking.

Not stressed anymore. Just relaxed and enjoying the sheer incredible universe and world we're in, and accepting that whatever happens, life will flourish once again most likely.

We had a good run to be fair. It's incredible what we achieved in such a short time in real terms, but we definitely advanced far too quickly I'd say while being adapted to much harsher times in a more concrete world.

We just weren't ready for the present at all mentally, even though we're convinced everything is fine and we can keep up with norms that are changing every decade now.

There’s no reason for it. You’ve got to go sometime."

Species come and species go.

There is no "unwritten rule" that says a species must survive. It's not a fait accompli, and if anything, genetically we are programmed suffer biological and mental wear and tear.

Of course, with DNA CRISPR editing and ever increasing advances in the fields of genomics, we do have the ability to repair and extend our lifespans.

We can correct errors in our own code.

Essentially, we are the new gods now.

But all our eggs are in one somewhat fragile basket, with finite resources to boot, and that is the problem.

SETI estimate 300 million potentially habitable planets in our own Milky Way. And there are billions upon billions of other galaxies. There is a whole universe of resources "out there", and more "real estate" than the human mind can possibly imagine or ever need.

Even our own Solar System offers rich minerals and resources, and opportunity for colonisation.

We've just got to hang in there until such time as humankind can make that break and get off this rock.

And you must also admire the sheer madness of life that comes along that can even fathom the world and universe that it lives in.

We humans, and even the other hominid offshoots who didn't last found a niche and we prospered being more ingenious and curious than the other species in our ecosystem.

We tend to forget that we're a very very recent development and most of the life on this wondrous planet didn't need it to thrive in their ecosystems. Even the last 10,000 years where our ability to use agriculture and build civilisation has been a small percentage of the time our own species has been exploring and adapting to this planet.

While you can make the case that we haven't heard from other intelligent life in the universe due to the sheer mind boggling size of it, and so ancient that an interstellar civilisation that spanned the galaxy may have died off millions of years before we came on the scene, another argument can be made that intelligence just isn't needed, and while it may help for a few thousand or hundred thousand years, it gives rise to the possibility of the "intelligent" species wiping itself out.

You can indeed make such an assertion.

No matter how "intelligent" a lifeform becomes, it invariably engineers its own demise. Decay and demise, entropy if you will, is inevitable.

I don't worry about the planet, nor the population (as a whole), because all things will eventually expire. We may engineer that sooner rather than later, but in the grand cosmic scheme of things, the difference in the timescale "footprints" would be miniscule.

The members of the Voluntary Human Extinction Movement call for refraining from reproduction and allowing the human species to go peacefully extinct (Omnicide), thus stopping further environmental degradation. Peaceful human extinction would allow other organisms on the planet their turn to thrive, and undo human-caused damage to the planet.
