Why do I feel scared about things which I will never experience?
I wonder where humanity will be then? Will we die with earth? Or will we ascend into the heavens to carve out a galactic empire?
Divergent evolution will probably create separate species of humanity from different extra-solar colonies. I wonder what those will look like.
I love this list. Thanks for reminding me OP. Wish I knew enough about science and shit to tell how accurate it was.

We won't make it out if this century. Over-population, lack of food, lack of drinking water, lack of fossil fuels and energy sources and lack of resources means by 2050, the world will be eclipsed in a titanic war with all life being wiped out. With the various terrorist groups being formed or defeatist countries collapsing under the strain, it's only a matter of time before the nukes start to fly.
If we do decide to establish colonies on Mars and the Moon, those living on it will soon die out. A dead earth would probably cause mass suicides in the colonies and anarchy.
Face it anon. Civilisation exists solely to destroy itself. We will never reach the stars.

A war, even if nuclear will never destroy 100% of mankind. Some will survive.
>If we do decide to establish colonies on Mars and the Moon
Interesting if we can somehow build colonies.
>A dead earth would probably cause mass suicides in the colonies and anarchy.
Death by chaos and anarchy is unlikely.
Think about how long humans lived in anarchy before any kind of civilization was formed.
>We will never reach the stars.
I have the feeling that ultimately our fate is to die on this earth, but it would be cool to conquer the milky way.

Most of the problems you've listed aren't really problems. There's already enough food being farmed on earth to feed everyone and more - the only places where people starve lack the infrastructure to import that food.
Re over-population, the earth's population will top out around 2050 at approximately 2 billion more than there are today. It's not really a threat.
Drinking water probably won't be a problem either, especially if politicians get their heads out of their asses and start using nuclear power (which is totally safe - fuck the Soviet Union and Chernobyl for making anyone think otherwise. Even that whole deal in Japan was because they built the plant on a fucking beach in a tsunami zone - and the place is already more or less habitable again).
The real dangers facing us all, and especially the people on this board, are endogenous. The fact that we're even having this thread means that feeling worthless, like life is meaningless, etc. are the bigger problems for almost everyone outside of 3rd world countries.

Well sure, chances are incredibly small for a planet to bear life but despite how rare it may be, it's still possible.
Also possible that there could be life nowhere even remotely near us.+
>>24225878
Untrue, go play space engine, its not impossible.
What a fucking great thread.
You know what, instead of making me panic the fact that the universe is going to die one day actually makes me kinda happy. It's weird.
Reading all of these articles, even if you dont understand them, is a great way to gain perspective into the human experience.
I don't fully understand that Boltzmann Brain principle (someone who's smarter than me please explain?), but it gives great perspective into what a consciousness is, and how random their genesis can be. And all of the far future timeline events tells us how rare and fragile our existence is. There can't possibly be a 'god' or a creator who knowingly created us if the nature of even our home planet is so fragile.
We see our existence as being sanctimonious and treasured, when it's really just a manifestation of random entropial energies that we have only begun to understand.
When reading about scientific principles so complex, one wonders how much humanity could accomplish in the next decade if we ceased all wars, erased all borders, and organized ourselves into a socalist technocracy with our sole purpose being to create, discover, and advance for the good of our species. We'd make contact with extraterrestrials in 3 years, no doubt.

Right now the universe is 13.9 billion years old, that's really young on the grand scale of things, it will take another 1000 billion years before new stars and planets stop forming, and that' the low estimate.
I like to think we'll end up being that ancient race you find in sci-fi. Either evolved to the point of immortality or a destroyed race with ruins scattered throughout the universe.
>>24226806

I don't think the human consciousness could cope with immortality.
besides that, evolution is what made humans taller, stronger, and most importantly smarter. if we no longer evolve due to immortality we might never be smart enough to solve the universes bigger problems.

You are very naive if you think abolishing borders would allow us to reach extraterrestrials.

"Phosphorous has the highest concentration factor; it is the first element to be used up. Life can multiply until all the phosphorous is gone and then there is an inexorable halt which nothing can prevent."
He continues: "The loss of phosphorous, since that is life's bottleneck, is most serious, and it is estimated that 3,5000,00 tons of phosphorous are washed from the land into the sea by the rivers each year. Since phosphorous makes up roughly one percent of living matter, that means that the potential maximum amount of land-based protoplasm decreases each year by roughly 350,000,000 tons."

I don't think people really grasp how exponentials work. When it jumps from 10^30 to 10^31 it might look like a short time period but it's actually 9 times the entire previous time between the two.
Time periods this long are impossible to imagine. Even when we're getting up to a few million years it becomes hard to imagine.
I like to think that eventually humanity will have scientific achievement as the ultimate goal since science would allow us to solve issues like hunger, with time we will realize how trivial most of the other stuff that we care about are, and we would decide on the best economical/judicial/political/ way to have out of trial and error. I believe in this becaus as a species we have never been more scientifically advanced, had better life quality and peaceful times than we do now. Considering the accelerating rate of scientific advancement, we will eventually discover things that would make space exploration easier. We would be living across the galaxy like in the sci-fi movies. Then I believe we would evolve into just consciousnesses floating around. We will eventually solve anything that is solvable and we would be able to do anything that is doable such as retrieving the consciousness that is dead aka us. In the end we would the find the answer and act accordingly be it realizing the essential meaningless/randomness/absurdity of life and contemplating suicide as a species or realizing we are all part of a simulation and by that realization winning the game. It will end when we reach our limits of knowing. The end.

What's more likely is extremely realistic simulations that we spend an increasing amount of time in, something we already do with computer games, movies, the internet etc. As technology gets better and the simulations become indistinguishable from reality, there will be no other reason to live outside them other than to stay alive and keep the simulations going. It's very likely we will eventually learn to upload our brains to the internet which at some point will become advanced enough to leave computers and electricity behind completing our journey to leave the material world behind.
In a 1000 years humanity probably is no more and we have wasted away into a simulation that is impossible to enter from the outside.

Nah it's a fact I'm more intelligent than the vast majority just based on my accomplishment.
The vast majority of people could probably not even pass calculus no matter how much effort they put into it, that's how stupid people are. Multivariable calculus and functional analysis is probably shredding of another 90% of the 10% who actually managed to pass calculus. After that it gets hard to say but I've had classmates at one of the better universities in Europe struggle and fail with some of the more advanced mathematics.
I've passed all this with minimal effort.

While some of what you said might be true(most humans being stupid/unaware of deep subjects), you will need to come with some evidence for your claims. Unless this done, nobody will care about who you are.
We can discuss the stupidity of human kind, but don't make such claims on 4chan about being the smartest guy. Nobody cares if you are, only your comment quality is of importance here. These claims are counter productive and make you look like >>24228710 described.

If you are telling the truth, that's great, good for you buddy. Yet you have clearly shown that you have zero interpersonal awareness and lack any social insight whatsoever as to why bragging about this online would produce negative responses from other people. You may be abnormally intelligent in one aspect, but you are dumb as a brick in many others. If you fail to even see why this basic thing is a problem, have fun interviewing for a job and applying your fantastic math skills.

Do you think aliens have NEETS amongst them?
The heat death of the universe scares me a bit, because it seems like an utterly hopeless situation.
A small part of me believes that the only reason we exist is to experience the universe. As in, we are the universe experiencing itself. Like, given that even different species of animal experience time differently, would 'time' exist or be relevant if there was no life? This probably sounds a bit like "If a tree falls in a forest and there's no-one around...".
There's some Japanese quote I saw a while ago which made me think of this: "The gardener is but a dream of the garden."
I'm sure someone's come up with it before, but I'm too lazy to look it up.

A number of pantheists and psychonaut sorts have come up with that, anon. In general I would concur.
"We are the universe experiencing itself" sounds like something McKenna (or someone like that) said, but I forget who.

>>24230081
It probably shouldn't. There are a few possibilities.
I have to leave so I don't have time to discuss it, but in case you haven't thought of any of these, here are a few possibilities. I'm going to skip the obvious ones.
1. Certain physicalists are right and qualia/subjective experience is bullshit and not actually happening outside of a calculator-like experience, "I think therefore I am" is bullshit, and you're not really experiencing anything at all. Just some math is going on or w/e. I don't think this one is right though since it sure feels like I am experiencing things.
2. There's actually just one universal consciousness that experiences everything, and there is no real subjective present. It just feels like there is while each individual moment is experienced (which actually happens at the same time, since the universe is already done)
3. It's an incomplete picture and the reason we feel like it's all fucking weird is because, being shitty monkey-descendents, we lack the faculties for an accurate picture of the 4th dimension or any other higher dimension. If we had the capacity to perceive those correctly, it would make sense.
4. It's actually just the eternalist view of time wherein this is like how a film works. At each individual point nothing is moving, but if you put all the frames together in order it makes some stuff occur. So for a brief space of time, presumably immediately after the entire time-space has been assembled, you/some other entity experience it all in order. Exactly like how film isn't really a 'movie' without the proper decoding device.

>>24230513
>all human brains
Pretty much after that we can't explain. It'll be so beyond us it doesn't matter. Also our technology is still exponentially growing but humans think of advancement only they've experienced in their life instead of exponentially, it's hard to think that 10 years from now your phone will say be 100-200 times better instead of just thinking it'll be only 10 times better because that's all you've grown up with because you don't understand the advancement. We'll hit a point where computers can calculate and process information faster than a single human brain and then after that the computer can literally just learn itself, it will keep growing and growing and yeah exponential growth may stop but there is literally nothing to show it isn't. It'll get to a point that a computer won't even understand our problems and we won't even understand its answers. We'll either die and computers take over or we'll be lifted into a socialist star trek tier utopia.

Are you curious about knowing more? Are you addicted to knowledge yet?
Being intelligent can be very helpful to pass your classes. But restraining it only to that seems a little narrow minded.
Anyways,
You know you have a curse, right? I'll bet you feel alone... and you are :^). Surrounded by people who isn't like you. Maybe you can relate to a professor at some point if you're studying right now.
How was your childhood, anon? Too self conscious? What about your parents? Probably you're smarter than them. Or smarter than other relatives. It's a sad feeling, right? Not having someone to look up to. Being that lonely.
Do you desire to stop thinking sometimes?
>>24230599
>Also our technology is still exponentially growing
That is simply not true. You will eventually stop improving technology in one aspect because you will hit certain natural limits.
>>24230631
But it literally hasn't stopped yet, technology is still improving exponentially, just because what's on the market isn't exponentially better doesn't mean that shit in the lab isn't way farther ahead. There is no evidence at all that proves there is a natural limit. We'll just keep growing and growing as a society till we either run out of resources or we create a crazy fucking technological singularity. I agree with you that humans will hit a limit because our brains can only process so much information but when we have computers that can learn themselves and reporgram themselves which is happening now then there is literally no barrier at all, technology will just infinitely grow at that point.
>>24230045

>>24222321
The food and water argument is total BS. We already don't have food and water as many already die from hunger and lack of water. The increase of population does not mean that we can't afford to reproduce more, it merely means we are able to feed more heads than before.

The building on the right is clearly more advanced both technically and visually. Yes the the left one may be more aesthetically pleasing but that's strictly an opinion
>>24230680
You are missing on something critically. We are still improving, but not by speeding up transistors. But by placing logical gates a bit smarter than we did before. And this approach will have a very quick end before we reach the full potential.
Transistor performance is literally almost at its peak level without producing too many error signals. There is nothing we can do about it. Transistor performance will stagnate in a few years.
>>24227428
you are fucking dumb, as medical science advances and we discover ways of extending the human life span (through lengthening telomeres, most likely) the human lifespan would theoretically increase exponentially. however, a fucking bullet to the brain will still kill you. not immortality.
>>24230755
We'll wait and see, it's not just about transistors though. The storage capacity of computers around the world is still doubling per capita every 16-18 months and growing faster. The computing power while seemingly slowing down really isn't as it's still doubling every 14 months since 1986 and it hasn't shown any signs of stopping. We've only begun to make computer hardware smaller and smaller and implement it in phones and now phones are getting faster and faster. Your phone 5 years from now will shit all over your current PC and nothing will stop that. When nearly every expert agrees moores law is alive and well then i'll believe them over cynicism on /r9k/
>>24230751
Yea but it's just sheets of metal, like everything else. Sure the building on the left isnt the best example anyways, but this isn't an objective subject.

How do you guys feel about the Drake Equation? It's very speculative and unscientific, but it's interesting to think about.

>N: Number of communicating civilizations in our galaxy
>R*: Average rate of star formation
>fp: Fraction of stars with planets
>ne: Number of life-supporting planets per star that has planets

>fi: Fraction of life-bearing planets that develop intelligent life
>fc: Fraction of intelligent-life bearing planets that release detectable signals into outer space
>L: Average time that such a civilization releases these signals

This. It didn't matter what philosopgers came up with, what scientists came up with, what psychologists came up with, what doctors came up with. The humans today are stupid enough to dictate humanity upon currency, literal paper given a numerical value and divided itself based upon this fact alone just so there is a minority of those in wealth they don't need and a majority trying to figure things out. Not to mention how superficial socializing has become, to the point where people are divided based upon something as simple as skin color or height, when the fact of the matter is that what features we are born with are meant to be used for different purposes and in all honesty are not disadvantageous in the slightest as long as they don't reach dwarfism levels. In addition to that having a pretty face means absolutely nothing, It's not even close to being as beautiful as peacock feathers.
So one day someone is going to get mad and bomb someone else because of the way they look, instead of simply renegotiating what standards we should be having as a race whom seeks to prosper.
