I think probably an asteroid too. Or that supervolcano in yellowstone park erupting. When that happens there's no stopping it and we're all dead.

 

Humans

 

Agreed. Anyone ever think maybe after a species gets to a certain level of intelligence, they undoubtedly will wipe themselves out?

I think food and water concerns are up there on the list. With how the population is growing, I don't know if we will be able to adapt to new technologies quick enough to produce more energy, food and water which may make world wars more routine and more deadly because of technology advancements (more nuclear weapons, weapons we've yet to create).

 

death

 

Whatever the direct cause, it will be the result of overpopulation.

 

Think the same thing. I think it all boils down to resources.

 

Humans.

 

Greed

 

We are our own worst enemy.

 

I always just figured we'd destroy ourselves.

I'm an optimist that way. :boogie

Haha I guess it is optimistic to think we have that much ability as a species

 

Greed, profit. Basically the government

 

Are you against capitalism in that way? Do you think the US government will be to blame or the idea of government?

 

another "Human." here.

 

Giant space bugs. They'll come here and say "Ohh, so you enjoy crushing little spiders and ants? Then I shall crush you." And they will. They'll crush us. Stamp on us with their giant bug feet.

 

Some say humans. i don't think we would get to the point where we would completely destroy ourselves.

i think it would be some ourside force, astroid or something

You put way to much faith in the people around you. This credit you give has been proved undeserved time and time again throughout history. Why would anything change?

 

Probably multiple things that happen over a couple of thousand years as a chain of events. It could be old school pestilence and famine, along with poison accumulation in the food and water supplies, and more direct links like nuclear radiation exposure or erroneous genetic engineering. Once fossil fuels are depleted, it doesn't seem likely that we will be able to keep up the population density that we have now. Shortages lead to conflict. And conflict leads to new disease opportunities.

 

So you think we have 1,000 years? Funny to think what we couldn't do even 200 years ago. No video, no photos, no concept of the possibility of climate change, no nuclear weapons and so on. 200 years from now is hard to imagine.

 

There will probably be a super bug of some sort -one that's incredibly virulent and resistant to antibiotics,it will spread quickly from country to country-quarantines will be implemented far too late to have much effect.

 

us.

 

Zombies. It's gotta be Zombie's...

the Wikipedia summary is nice. the thought among the people that study the topic is like that the most serious risks come from things along the lines of advances in artificial intelligence (AGI) or biotechnology (nanotechnology, pandemics)

Risks to Civilization, humans, and planet Earth

 

Wow, didn't realize the whole Fermi Parodox thing. Pretty much exactly what I was thinking.

Divine Retribution

 

What do you mean? Not to turn this into a debate about god or whatever, but just curious as to why you think a deity would want to punish humans?

Ego is what destroys humans.

 

we are pretty good at being destructive to ourselves. I still don't trust that the human species is responsible enough with the power of WMD.

stupidity
intolerance
lack of diplomacy
corruption
greed



and this, self motivated interests, especially when combined with the above.

 

A Meteorite will do the trick.

 

I believe that we will be the cause of our own biological extinction, through use of advanced nanotechnology. I know how far out there that sounds, but it makes sense that once we have the reigns over our own biological development, and the tools to go beyond that we will make use of them.

While there will be many people opposed to this, over time it will become more acceptable. Eventually, humanity will be phased out by a new, improved version of itself.
