The issue is not really how we got here, rather where are we headed. Only within the last century has mankind achieved the ability to render itself extinct. Well, unless there were civilizations before ours that already did. Our record of history goes back maybe a few thousand years, with a fairly blank spot known as the dark ages not that far back. Some of the ruins we found so far go back tens of thousands of years. How do we explain the gap?
The hardest part of doing nothing is knowing when your done.
