The way we order our civilization we’re subconsciously planning our own obsolescence. From environmental degradation to nuclear irresponsibility to economic tribalism, we allow huge self-destructive forces to organize the way we operate. Current prognosis? Maybe another 100 years

Please, Lord, guide us to how we overcome the ignorant, uncaring people. Amen

“We” aren’t ordering diddly

I think we'll adapt and prevent our own end, but much later than we should, and much will be needlessly lost by the delay.
Hope of outside help from some other beings?

Well ... ... While we work on ourselves we can help other countries to catch up to ours ... it might take less than 100 years , if we plan it out our long and short term goals correctly . But , it may take that long , longer , or never happen ... ... If we Don’t . ☹️

Many believe we are end stage capitalism. We can adapt or die. We really need to adapt quickly.

The real question is “will Homo sapiens’ morality evolve as quickly as our technology to destroy ourselves and our planet?” Spoiler alert: nope. We’re like chimpanzees slowly evolving to become bonobos. But that took like a million years. If phytoplankton survives? Spoiler: no
