I'm not gonna address the doomsaying and will simply say this. It totally has resulted in bad things happening, but everyone who cared about that died, and the world moved on. And Eventually, assuming the survival of the human race, we will adapt to it and use it to overall bring ourselves to a general higher quality of life, if previous incidents are to be believed to set a precedent anyway.

@I have but what reason is there to assume they wouldn't be in the minority? People like the easy life because...well, it's easy. People take cars to work when they could walk because it's faster and easier.It's only really poorer folk that would be free from this unless it spread over the whole world, since they wouldn't have access to the luxuries. It doesn't matter if it is in the minority or majority. That's never been the point. The point is there will always be some X% of people who would survive/fight i.e not get screwed over when the universe/AI screws the human race. |

This cycle can't last forever though. Like in 200 years when we have flying cars, robots everywhere, the typical sci-fi jazz if any of the number of things that could cause an EMP happened then humans would basically become close to extinction. Our survival skills would be awful, they generally are now but we could feasibly survive in smaller scale with the few who do know how to survive. If an EMP happened in the future it would take people far too long to re-learn our old survival basics, considering most information is stored digitally already.
I'm not denying some people would survive but it's doubtful they'd ever get close to where we are now. Most of the population dying is hardly success. Especially not with the human problems that would persist like how we fight each other and new issues nobody knows how to deal with, like when predators start vastly outnumbering us, who's going to be prepared for that in 200 years when it's barely been experienced for thousands?

The idea that humanity will die because of a lack of survival skills is unlikely, if not outright impossible. People will die certainly, perhaps an overall majority, but the human race could survive something as small as society collapsing. No it'd more likely take a nuclear winter, a solar flare, the sun simply swallowing the Earth, or some other catastrophe that would take humanity down, some of which we can cause or plan for, others of which are mostly up to the whims of the universe until we perfect space travel enough to colonize other planets beyond our solar system. Also you're basically saying that in a population of seven billion plus, the (If I recall correctly) minimum amount of people needed for humanity to survive, five hundred people would not... Either have survival skills, the ability to learn survival skills on the fly, the capability of joining with someone that had said survival skills, or lack the ability to eventually come together in general groups that would total up to 500 for whatever reason. That sounds statistically impossible, I'm pretty sure for that scenario to come about you'd need another event to kill off most of the population anyway as well as take out the internet and electronics. Also we're overpopulating the planet, an event that wipes out a good portion of humanity would arguably be a good thing in the long run. Edited by Tinny, Jun 11 2016, 03:54 AM.

In 200 years assuming technology spreads all over and everyone lives a comfortable life, how is it not?
Even if there was like 100,000 people left who knew basic survival skills there's no guarantee they'd survive with that considering how spread out they'd be and how many people they'd have to provide food for. Doesn't matter if you're Rambo you're not hunting enough deer to feed your group of a few thousand people and if they only know how to get a high score on Candy Crush 8 they'll be useless. Especially if you consider how many of those would even be fit enough to help. Then there's the issue of war between different groups competing for resources. Huge difference to the past being the weapons available, guns obviously. We'd survive in small scale but it's doubtful we'd get anywhere close to that future society again(which wouldn't be entirely bad) everyone depending on machines and robots that can be broken is a terrible future. |
