Well, there is no proof that intelligence is a survival trait - and as long as humanity is only located on this planet, I can promise you that even if we don’t foul our own nest badly enough to wipe us out, there is a asteroid with our name on it headed this way.
Whether is shows up tomorrow or 10,000 years from now - it’ll be a game changer - for sure.
Loooong list - must be a hot button for lots of people.
We’re just an experiment in progress - someone once said that there is no indication that intelligence is a survival trait. we’ll see if we make it. If not, Mother Nature will try something else.
Can’t argue with that >grin<
