>Humans have been alive for +300k years and we are about to experience the first time in history that the global birth rate is going to start dropping below replacement level (currently it is estimated to be 2.25) without it being caused by a natural disaster, disease or rapid climate change.
Think about it, the human species is projected to peak at 9-10 billion in around 2050 and, for all we know, we may never surpass that number. This century might be humanity's all time peak. Some person born in those years could be the human birth that beats the population record for the last time in history.
If we never get back to above replacement rates, we may be down to a few hundred million humans in a couple centuries. The people from that era will probably read about our times in history books (or whatever equivalent they have) and think "wow, to think there used to be so many humans. I wonder how life must have been back then" and to us that day will just be a regular day just like today.

The global trend is downwards, even in the most infamous third world countries:

Africans might be the last ones but they also will go down. Evidence clearly shows that as soon as people have more "confortable" lives, plus internet and phones, they stop having children.gif

Dinosaurs were better when they didn't have feathers, paleontology be damned.

Scientifically speaking, what is the meaning of life?
>>
>>1 (OP)
it's whatever you want it to be.
like in your picture, if you want nothing in life to matter then that's how it will be.
if you want to continue the human race, then reproduction can be your meaning.
if you wanna live alone, write unhinged shit online then die alone, then the philosophers life can be your meaning as well>>

>Did you use - instead of — so people don't think you're AI?
Yes. I always used em dashes before, and I'm not the only one. But now—every time I use it—retards say that I'm a bot or that I use AI to craft my responses. I guess I should just stop caring about retards, and keep using em dashes anyway. The hysteria will get worse.>>
I think most of the time you want to find that meaning by yourself. If you're a religious person, maybe you have a shortcut for that, but that won't change the fact you have to find a bigger meaning for you as a person, it can be work, helping others. What science says regarding that, however, doesn't mean shit.6 RepliesView Thread
