S. Hawking believes that humanity has less than a thousand years on Earth before a mass extinction

Cool. FUGM

Running on the 2020 or 2024 repub ticket?

We've used over half of the known iron deposits on the planet. If we didn't recycle, there would be no iron left. Water shortages are expected within 15 years. Go look at the lake behind hoover damn some time. Melting snow on ice caps fill rivers and streams in the summer. What happens when there are no ice caps?

we just find someone else to blame and that solves everything.

Anything that lessens my experience of having a microwaved pop tart every morning is a non-starter for me.

Hey, it works!

This guy has become seemingly obsessed with predicting humanity's doom recently. He's really no different than those we often refer to as religious nutjobs....

Yeah, call me when he starts telling us which year a giant meteor is going to wipe us out, and then when it doesn't, says it turns out that's when the meteor was deciding whether or not it was going to hit us, but now it's totally for sure going to hit us the year after.

S. Hawking believes he needs to get his name back in the headlines

1000yr? If we survive the next 100 I be surprise we're not in full space travel in 500, in a 1000 earth will likely be a vacation resort spot in pristine condition with eco system fully restored.

I don't foresee the end of our species, but certainly the end of life as we know it is definitely possible, and likely probable in the not too distant future. An asteroid or war or disease (or a combination of them) can lead to the death of billions of people, but there would still be humans around.

His job is to ponder the universe. This isn't an attempt for him to make headlines as much as it is him simply doing his job.

Blame Canada! They have all the water we could ever need. We will just start pushing that border north...

Depends if and how the creation of level 3 AI goes. I assume at this point it's an inevitability, so that could be the likely thing that does us in. Total robot war that completely destroys the planet.

his job, not to mention his endorsements and his speaking fees, depend tremendously on his public stature

if he wasn't so famous, he would just be another obscure professor struggling to survive on a modest professor's salary

Extinction will be because of wars fought due to shortage of water. And it's a definite thing, maybe 1000 years, could be a 100.

 

[Fritzo]

Aw, he's just bitter.

 

[disappoint]

Aw, he's just bitter.

Glad it's not just me. I knew that fool tasted funny.

Everybody thinks mass extinctions happen with nuclear war or Earth bound asteroids. Like an asteroid would pick this salty ass planet to crash into. No man, extinctions happen because of telepathy.

That's right telepathy. Stop shaking your head and try and follow along ya goofy ass mofos.

See everyone thinks Star Trek is possible with their telepaths n shit, well that will never be real for long.

You know what's going through people's heads all day? Some crazy ass shit that's what. Half the people have an IQ<100. If everyone could read each other's thoughts it would be mayhem in no time. There wouldn't even be time for nuclear war. The president wouldn't even reach the football before his VP would start eating his face. Can you imagine how long a beautiful woman would hold her sanity together just walking down the street if she could read all the thoughts ugly ass mofo guys are thinking of her? She would handbag smash the fuck outta every other guy she ran into. Most women look fine as hell and most guys look like oblate spheroids of hairy blubber. It would be pandemonium. The pandas would be one of the few species left because they don't bang enough to evolve that fast. Isn't it ironic doncha think?

The dinosaurs didn't go extinct from no damn meteor. Where's the evidence? There's no crater that big. You think the Indian ocean is round? They evolved telepathy and ate each other's faces off. Drove each other crazy with their sick thoughts.

That's how humanity will end. When we evolve to have telepathy it'll all be over quickly. You can already see a glimpse of it online when people share their goofy ass thoughts with everyone because they think they're anonymouse. Mousesterminds is more like it even though they think of themselves as masterminds. Half these mofos can't get an interview because HR Google's their names and sees pics of them clubbing seals in the arctic while wearing Juggalo makeup in a beer stained t-shirt that you can barely makeout the words "How do fucking magnets work?" on, or fighting over Black Friday deals in a brick and mortar store like a rabid mongoose on PCP, methamphetamines, crack cocaine, 18 cups of Guarana flavored espresso, 15 cans of energy drinks and 12 boxes of no doze with a penchant for domestic appliances that they already own one or more of at low low prices.
