Why is a bright future assumed?
Sun eventually goes supernova.
It doesn’t. It’s not massive enough. It turns into a red giant, then collapses into a white dwarf and eventually fusion basically stops.
Yeah but in the process it’ll scour the surface off the earth so it’s not all bad news
Alternatively, if we wait long enough we always have the heat death of the universe to look forward to.
I read in this book that there’s a restaurant just before that happens where you can bounce back and forth between the death of the universe and the hours before it. So that sounds cool.
Try the steak.
I don’t like food that talks to me before I eat it.
Are you a cannibal?
Shh!" said Ford. “It’s conical. So what you do is, you see, you fill it with fine white sand, alright? Or sugar. Fine white sand, and/or sugar. Anything. Doesn’t matter. Sugar’s fine. And when it’s full, you pull the plug out… are you listening?” “I’m listening.” "You pull the plug out, and it all just twirls away, twirls away you see, out of the plughole. “Clever.” “That’s not the clever bit. This is the clever bit, I remember now that this is the clever bit. The clever bit is that you then thread the film in the projector… backwards!” “Backwards?” “Yes. Threading it backwards is definitely the clever bit. So then, you just sit and watch it, and everything just appears to spiral upwards out of the plughole and fill the bath. See?” “And that’s how the Universe began is it?” said Arthur. “No,” said Ford, "but it’s a marvelous way to relax.
That’s not bright at all. That’s the darkest thing.
Very true.
Not before ballooning up and frying the Earth.
Yeah that’s totally not a worse death.
What’s weird to me is, the dark ages weren’t dark for the Middle East, they kept on learning and expanding. What’s in a name and all that.
Only a little unfortunate they skipped the enlightenment, akin to what Europe had.
They didn’t skip it, the enlightenment was a continuation of what they came up with. I’m pretty sure they didn’t deny the earth is round and the sun is the center of our galaxy.
Medieval people thinking the Earth was flat is a myth that was made up during the Age of Enlightenment.
Hmmm, the minions probably did think the earth was flat since that’s what the church told them. Definitely, most of the thinkers of that time knew it wasn’t and were told to keep it hush hush or there would be harsh punishment. It’s not a one size fits all kind of thing, and just like everything else, it’s complicated.
That is a myth that has been debunked a long time ago. In fact, the Earth being round was discovered in antiquity and Eratosthenes measured the Earth’s circumference almost accurately in about 240 BC.
That’s not what it was, not by a long shot, but alright.
Now you’ve got me curious, what do you think they didn’t continue? The art wasn’t the same, is that it? We should be very thankful they saved a lot of knowledge that could have been lost.
What the hell are you talking about? I’m talking about enlightenment, you know, the explosion of philosophy in the 17th century?such as the explosion of liberalism, ideas of socialism, The theories of government, American and french revolution, ect.
So science wasn’t part of it?
I seriously believe you’ve messed up the years
Sorry what learning and expanding are you talking about? Can you please be specific about which years and give a source?
pretty much everything between ~600 and 1900 and pretty much everywhere from Morrocco to Turkey to Iran.
Just read up on Moors, Ottomans, Iranians, Mail Empire, Islamic culture, science and arts…
A lot of it in Palestine got destroyed by the savage European crusaders though.

They want a bright future just for themselves. Not for the society as a whole
that doesnt work though. Happyness consistently is highest in societies which have the strongest wealth distribution.
Why are you not in lemmygrad, comrade?

And now you’ve outed yourself for our blocklists. Good job.

Humanity will not exist long enough to reach said bright future
I’m worried the bright future will start right as the last humans die…
That’s why it’s called the bright future… Right?
Keeping in mind that a single axis for progress is reductive: also, don’t forget that there have been and will be backslides. For example, European colonialism set back a lot of progressive / alternative cultures, genociding them or converting them to something that better-served the interests of empire (e.g., race rules).
Stop using proprietary software, embrace FOSS. Krita, GIMP, Inkscape.
You want me to say “Feel free to GIMP your variants”? =\
P.S. I made this in Inkscape actually :)
The word you are looking for is “make” or “edit”.
Kids these days… Have to rename everything! /s
Did you know that “to google something” is the proprietary version of “to search something”? See!!! Proprietary software has integrated into conversational phrases! *It’s time to stop!*
I envy you because I don’t know how to use Inkscape properly (it looks very complicated). I don’t really need/use it, so yeah.
#ABSOLUTELY PROPRIETARY
keep using ‘photoshop’ as a generic term and verb until it becomes ‘generic enough’ for adobe to lose its trademark. same with ‘google’ ftm.
Nooo!!! You are only helping them! /s
Instead use edit/make/search.
*Look how they massacred my
boyEnglish!*
Shhhhh it’s okay to let people enjoy things
Enough is enough. It’s time to make this year the year of Linux. /s
I mean, I mostly enjoy my FOSS (there are some issues). At least I don’t have to pay thousands of dollars or pirate it (and hiding it) only to find out that it’s Linux incompatible.
Break the chains people!
there’s only one future for humanity that’s bright
It’s posadism time
Climate change will also kill capitalism and can signal aliens far away.

I mean that’s the brightest future right, them bombs give out all kinds of light.
yep, also a viable variant
in reality the graph alternates black and white and only holds true for one certain location/group at a time
We don’t have time for your full scale reality. The luxury is gone to shop for quality. It is all a sacrifice of illusion now.
I’ll believe it when we dismantle the nukes, class society, and fossil fuel industry. A better world is possible but only if we fight for it.
I was gonna post this lol

If you want to be “accurate” middle age and now would be the same line (because the last millennia is about 0.33…% of homo sapien’s history) and bright future would be pretty fucking long because there’s at least a billion years ahead of us for life on Earth, probably more…
because there’s at least a billion years ahead of us for life on Earth, probably more…
That’s optimistic. With record heat levels, it’s going to become uninhabitable for humans long before a billion years.
That’s just humans though, plenty of life will go on living and they will probably be better off without a global apex predator in their way. That will be the true bright future for life on Earth. Maybe we’ll eventually manage to better ourselves and solve the climate problems we’re facing too, time will tell.
One thing though, some sections of the planet will become uninhabitable for humans, not all though. People have been living in the scorching heat of the desert for thousands of years, if the average summer temperature closer to the poles increases to 27 instead of 22, people will manage to survive there, worst case they’ll adopt a nomadic lifestyle again.
Oh I can see you don’t read news
Lol
Humans aren’t the only beings living on this planet and other life forms will thrive long past the point where homo sapiens disappear.
