Will The World Die Tomorrow?

Well, let me ask - would we?

There could be a meteor that takes us out.

We could do it ourselves, gradually and slowly, through plantary incompetence and greed.

Or I dunno - we could blow ourselves up the nuclear fashion way.

But still - yeah, there’s meteors.

We still haven’t got a good system to beat those, really.

And let’s face it they took out the dinosaurs, so if we can’t defeat what killed those guys with our so-called superior little sapian brains - come on.

However, I feel even if the meteor does strike I think we should still aim to take better care of the planet - I mean, I could get hit by a car tomorrow, that doesn’t mean I’m going to give up and just sit on my ass until I die of a heart attack.

The dudes with the space travel idea - yeah, that’s nice and all. But I mean, really? Auctioning off space to the rich? Kinda on the nose, isn’t it? Like, “Hey, sorry we drained all the resources and wasted them on ourselves - but we’re out now, enjoy the wreck we left behind!”

Maybe it’s best just not to think about it.

Instead, focus on today.

What can I do today?

Then maybe - just maybe - the world will limp along as best it can until that meteor hits.

Also solar power seems kinda awesome. Just a thought. I mean, those dead dinosaurs can’t sustain us forever and what are we gonna leave behind for the next major species that dominates the planet? Plastic?

Huh.

Actually, maybe that will be our thing. Plastic.

Hope the next species can use it well.
