Do you believe human life will cease to exist one day?

[Soubriquet]

I do

Whether it be via disease, war, global warming, or simply something else, I honestly believe humans will cease to exist. Which is not necessarily a bad thing. We are a plague on this planet

Planet Earth will survive but the animals and plants on Earth - not so much, no. But maybe you only care about a piece of rock, and not about living species?
Even assuming nuclear war etc doesn't happen, vast numbers of animals and plants will go extinct soon. And this prediction from the UN came before Trump and his action to destroy the environment as quickly as possible.

All plants and animals will go extinct at some point. No, I’m not unnecessarily over sentimental over it like some. The Earth is
4.6billion years old. Countless species have been before us and countless will come after. We all exist in the briefest blink of an eye of the Earths history let alone the universe.

Yes eventually- there will be something that changes like an ice age, a meteor or disease. Probably not a war that does it but a seismic event like what happened to the dinosaurs.

I think it’s happened elsewhere in the universe already. It’s fascinating really, but we are just a speck in time.

Hope so. No more suffering. The image of Earth empty of all human life makes me kind of happy. I don't like to imagine humans suffering. But the thought of us quietly and painlessly going extinct makes me happy rather than sad.

Maybe a meteorite will hit and we shall die out like the dinosaurs did. As long as it’s quick I could live with this , I don’t want to survive any kind of disaster tbh.

Then you’ll want a fast burn, painless plague. But very few diseases have a 100% fatality rate. Maybe if rabies goes airborne.

Full out war.

I think Sagan’s Pale Blue Dot sums up the human race and the earth quite nicely. Very grounding.

PALE BLUE DOT
Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us.
On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives.
The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there, on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

Sadly yes and probably be our fault. Could be war, pollution, a disease.

Hopefully

Interesting. Did you have children?

Yes of course.

Becoming more likely too. The more powerful and interconnected we get the worse the ‘worst case’ becomes, even as the median gets better and better.

Definitely, the dinosaurs lasted for millions of years but still became extinct, humans maybe unique in being the only species on earth that cause their own extinction

Yes.
