I'm not sure they'll laugh. They will probably view us the same way we look at prior generations. They will move forward and do the best they can. Just as we all have.
Uhh I dont think so due to the huge threat that terrorism is and I dont think people will be laughing at us. Like literally people blowing themselves up in crowded areas are not really a light matter.

People at the Bataclan had their genitals mutilated before they were killed. Trust me, no one will be laughing.
No, they won't. No one fears future, potential threats as much as immediate threats. 20 year-olds are worrying about rent, not retirement. Parents worry about their children being hit by cars, not having a heart attack.
My research shows definitively that everyone on earth has an average of no more than 70-100 years to live.
You are correct: you will die in the next "several" decades.
At the speed we're currently warming up the earth by burning fossil fuels, global warming will decimate the human race. We will not live to see it, but our childrens' children will. Maybe we'll find means to limit the damage, maybe not. The death toll will probably be in the billions.
According to the esteemed and oh so smart Mr Hawking (sarcasm if you couldn't tell) we have a thousand years before we all die. Even if there were any truth to any of this bullshit, I don't think a millennium is all that urgent.
But the fact is there has been no warming in the averages for almost a hundred years, and no short-term warming in 15 years. In fact now we have so-called scientists claiming we're going into an ice age.
Proof upon proof has been found that these clowns have altered or completely fabricated their data.
WE. ARE. JUST. FINE.
Consider in the past 200 years how far we as humanity have come. Consider how much we have accomplished in just the last 30 years. If you are worried about climate change, you aren't paying attention.
I never said we will all die. Our numbers will dwindle significantly because large parts of the globe will become uninhabitable because of deforestation and carbon dioxide buildup. IF WE CONTINUE in this way we live now. But I also believe we will strike down big oil, or they will destroy themselves and their trillion dollar lobbies.

To be fair you said one tenth of humanity would die
@anthracite So your saying that you do not drive a car or any mode of transportation that requires fossil fuels, you heat your home with renewable energy and and solar panels lining your house you shouldn't be telling everyone "if we continue living the way we do now"
(I'm not at all saying I believe in global warming I'm saying preach what you teach)
This is not a well thought out statement. One is an immediate threat and the other is long term. It's like worrying about how you can't put food on your table vs how in 30 yrs you'll be broke because of your mortgage. Though if I were you I'd be less worried about climate change. I know it's been this huge topic in the media and everyone is all gun-ho about it but historically we're still in a really cool era. The only other time when the earth was cooler was during the ice age. The only big problem is that so much of our population lives along what is now the coast. Well guess what we'll all move more inland and adapt. See that's the thing about humans is that we are the best adapters out there. We don't like it but we still do it.

if our focus was the other way around the people in the future wouldn't have to worry, because all that would be left is the terrorist's lineage. imagine if we just focus on our own countries first and fix our own water, our own air and our own land. we wouldn't need some large government global initiative. we'd just be fixing our own countries. the problem (if there is one) would just fix itself.

Nationalism is demonized in the 21st century for some reason. But ay.
No it shouldn't there is nothing wrong with wanting to preserve your country's cultures. Just like Islam, just because a few fuckwads are shitty people doing shitty things DOES NOT MEAN their whole ideology is bad.

exactly. there are different types of Muslims. every country that has it as their religion studies it differently. as Trump calls it "radical Islamic terrorists" not all Muslims, just the terrorists are bad. they study an advanced, aggressive, literal form of Islam. they are the ones that would take over if not stopped. women wouldn't have any rights, gays would be executed, it would be like turning a blind eye to hitler, 10 fold. they want world domination and for everyone to do as they do. there would be no end to it.

Exactly. In the same sense. Those who are nationalists have to deal with the asscociations of people who are self proclaimed nazis etc.

the thing is, nationalist shouldn't be a bad word. in fact that is the only way to reach peace without genocide. with secure borders with a proper immigration plan we keep people that enter different countries to only the people who are willing to integrate. a country that has a large immigration population that doesn't assimilate tend to have more confrontations. also mass immigration leads to the best and the brightest, and in a sense the angriest of people to leave their country. if left in their own country, they would be the ones who would start change in their homeland. in all of the poorest of countries they add about 8 million people annually, we would never make a dent in helping them. we need them to work on fixing their own country.

on top of that, if we use all of our resources to fix their country, we would start to fall apart. image a person that donate so much money that they, and their family ends up being homeless. it is only when you have the means to help others, should you. at this moment we don't have the means. we are so far in debt that we are in no position to allot our resources to help other countries. knowledge, yes. money, no. we can teach them to farm, we can teach them to irrigate. we can teach them construction, but we can't keep giving them money. we need to stop mass immigrating people into our country. getting out of 3rd world status starts with them building up their own country. to make their country a place they want to live in. we can't keep letting them siphon our resources and we can't keep bringing in their only vessels of change. they grow dependent, and soon they are going to be unable to live on their own.
