Would you mind if the world ended?

[Kowani]

In all seriousness, I think it would be the only way I could be free, happy, and grow. This world has become so stifled and toxic that I think we need a decent reset, if only to break the grip of those that would make things steadily worse.

When I think of a good future, it always resembles a sort of "soft apocalypse" setting. The sort of world presented in stories like Yokohama Kaidashi Kikō come to mind.

yes YES YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES

The opinion that the world is the worst off it has ever been shows the disconnect people have with history

See, that’s what I said in the CDT.

Not familiar with them. Please describe this soft apocalypse

No such thing as a "soft apocalypse".

It isn't the worst it's ever been. It's just going back toward that kind of reality

Yeah, I can't WAIT to go back to the times you would be in a pit in a colosseum with a lion trying to kill you.
I'm joking, lol

…How, exactly?

[Totenborg]

I'm a bit concerned for the well being of my daughter. After that, let the Long Night come. I actually find total eradication to be a liberating thought. That being said, I'd rather us go out because an asteroid or some other inescapable doom. I'd prefer we didn't kill the planet through pollution or some other stupid and preventable apocalypse.

Is it really? From what I know, most African countries are economically booming, happiness is at a net increase, millions are being lifted out of poverty each year, people are becoming more accepting of other religions and races, etc.

[Arthenius]

As long as I can be free when the world ends, no.

According to religions, there are "rules" in the afterlife.

Given how the only thing that would actually get it done is the second coming of Christ, I don't think so...

What if someone decided to do something, say launch nukes and star WW3 before Christ's appointed date to return?

I bet Earth has seen way more carbon levels in it's time, after all it's 4.6myo. Plus during the Cambrian period Earth had more carbon dioxide in it's atmosphere, therefore global warming isn't just caused by man. Keep in mind increased volcanic activity wiped out almost all of life and caused a Ice Age during the end of that period. Life will go on until the sun runs out of hydrogen.

A war is supposed to happen before Christ's return.

Okay, the chance of literally all of humanity going extinct is extremely low. The chance of the world ceasing to exist, even lower.

Even if the chance of "literally" all of humanity going extinct, humanity will still be less than 10% of whoever survived. It's irrelevant to the ~90% who either immediately or eventually die.

[New haven america]

Okay, the chance of literally all of humanity going extinct is extremely low. The chance of the world ceasing to exist, even lower.

Actually, the chances of the world ceasing to exist are guaranteed, given the Sun's natural life cycle. So within the next 2-5 billion years it will no longer exist or only exist as a molten ball of slag orbiting so close to the Sun that Mercury would blush.

And once the sun exists its red giant phase, it will create a stellar nebula that most likely will destroy the entire solar system.

[Totenborg]

Let’s hope I get put in heaven

Any one else here going to hell?

Actually that's probably 99% of the post internet generation. Well, whoever gets there first, please make some room

I'll be consumed by the Abyss. It'll be neat.

I'd be okay with a reset as long as my (like you and me's) odds of survival even if using relevant skills are in favor.

Then everyone is screwed, there's a theory on the Flintstone's about that. Society collapsed after a nuclear war and the rich (Jetson's) are the rich, while the Flintstone's are the poor. Since in one episode Fred goes up in the sky only to discover a city, it's beaming with life.

No, no, the Cambrian Explosion created 90% of life. The Permian-Triassic Extinction event, on the other hand ...

1. I bet Earth has seen way more carbon levels in it's time, after all it's 4.6myo. 2. Plus during the Cambrian period Earth had more carbon dioxide in it's atmosphere, 3. therefore global warming isn't just caused by man. 4. Keep in mind increased volcanic activity wiped out almost all of life and caused a Ice Age during the end of that period. Life will go on until the sun runs out of hydrogen.

1. Yes, it did. Earth also happened to basically be uninhabitable by large mammals during those times.
2. And basically al life on Earth was sequestered to the oceans because land was way to dangerous to live on and oh yeah, the Cambrian Extinction happened.
3. But it is.
4. The only period where ice ages have happened while Earth had complex life on it is the Cenozoic Era, which is the era we happen to be in right now. Where the hell did you get the idea that it happened during other eras?

Love how you repeated me...

Okay, the chance of literally all of humanity going extinct is extremely low. The chance of the world ceasing to exist, even lower.

Our modern term end of the world basically means the end of our current world order. The apocalypse could happen without an extinction of our kind. Will humanity survive to 2100? Almost certainly. Will earth be here? Definitely unless an asteroid big enough to blow us up manages to blindside us. Will the current present day nation states still be here? Many probably won't be

Hopefully the next order isn't where we live in just one big country especially where there are only a few elites making decisions at the top level, which I think might very well happen one day if we don't act or change.

No one says CO2 levels are caused only by human activity. The current warming of the planet can be traced to increased fossil fuel burning since the Industrial Revolution.

I really need to stop going off of fuzzy memories for these points...
