Well of course!!

Yep, and I bet it isn’t nearly as far into the future as some people would like to believe.

That’s not a coincidence.

Problem solved.

Conflicts between species and conflicts in one’s own species is fundamental for evolution (and extinction).

No war, no people.

Which is cause… which is effect?

stop giving him bad advice

And that’s the most likely way peace will finally be achieved, too bad no one will be around to spoil it!

War and people, war and people

Go together like a dog and sheep will

Let me tell you brother, you can’t have one without the other.

The future people are probably still in their bomb shelters. Even without war, with climate change, earth sheltering might still be a viable adjustment.

and mother earth rejoices

People are the #1 cause of war.

I don’t like people.

According to Climate Scientist and Greta, we only have 2 months left before total extinction.

We’ve all moved underground to escape the UV radiation. Yip yip yip yip yip

The odd thing about having no people around is that no one truly appreciates it until someone shows up.

“Wars come and go. What remains is the value of culture.”

The most likely vision is of us being around between one and two million years, like our antecedents… but maybe less. Even nuclear armageddon would be likely to leave a viable population in many places around the world, and if we think about it the logistics of us gradually poisoning our world until we are gone are unworkable… dwindling population would reach stasis populated by the hardiest.

Our genome is more fragile than most; our chromosome #2 is a new thing. We apparently share an antecedent with bonobos – “pygmy chimpanzees” – but our chromosome #2 is their chromosomes 12 and 13 (IIRC) joined head to head. That makes us more vulnerable to genetic senescence because we are prototypes in the world of primates. It is likely most of the other Great Apes will be around when we are gone.

AI

Because Biden dragged us into WW III.

Is there a moral in there somewhere?

It’s coming, unfortunately.

Covid?

If you are going to bet, bet there will NOT be a mankind eliminating war. You will either win or not have to pay off.

So is the world run by a sentient computer program that has a bunch of robot skeletons keeping the peace?

In the year 2525, If man is still alive ….

“Not even ants fighting??”

Imagining the song “Imagine” about a world without people.

Makes me think of that old Bobby Darin song, “We the people don’t want war.” Was that the title? Or just part of the lyrics?

Oh my, didn’t the dems yell loudly that president Trump would get us into war. “Don’t give him the nuclear codes!!!” Instead, it was the most peaceful time in over 20 years.

One US Ohio-class sub has the firepower to wipe out half of the planet. Good thing there are only 18.

Yep, were on the road to extinction.

Sadly, no people is what it’ll take to stop the wars.

It can’t come soon enough to save the planet.
