The climate crisis is nothing compared to the fact that a gigantic asteroid could smash into Earth any moment.

However, sometimes we can detect such objects but we might not be able to do anything about it.

And - the sun is going to blow up to a red dwarf in some years. There's a lot of stuff which could make planet Earth unsuitable for human life and which - without a well-prepared plan - could end life on Earth in total chaos.

Also, not to mention various pandemics - COVID as well as other diseases.

I say we should prepare for the end of human existence when we have the opportunity. We may not be able to do anything about the dangers we're facing - but we can determine the way we die and when we die.

If we're having a say in how and when we die, we can choose the least painful, most peaceful and beautiful death ever achieved by a living specie in this God forsaken universe!

I suggest WHO and UN should make plans for mass Euthanasia, which should come into effect when - not if, but when - we face a danger to the human specie we can do nothing about.

Cross that bridge when you get to it.
What if... creates an endless string of questions
don't waste your life trying to stop something that may never happen.
Stay rooted in reality.

It will happen. It's just a question of when - not if.

Agreed. But I see your later point too, thinkinginpictures.

Most of the time, the fact that something is possible does not mean that it is certain.  The Sun turning into a red giant in about 5 billion years ... now that is certain, but not likely to affect you at all.

Neither may an asteroid (necessarily) affect me.

But for the sake of humanity, we should prepare for when something happens that we can't do anything about... to choose the way we die.

And since I assume the vast majority of humans would pick a peaceful, painless death rather than a violent and chaotic death, I think we should prepare for the end of humanity when we have the opportunity to do so - in good time.

Astronomers are watching for them all the time and current technology is capable of altering the asteroid's trajectory if really necessary.

Sending a nuke in a rocket and firing it on the asteroid should be sufficient to tilt it out of the collision course if done early enough.

Some 5 billion years from now. Anatomically modern humans diverged from H.erectus some 500,000 years ago. If humans survive 10,000 times more, they can worry about it.

Diseases are part of life on Earth. Every now and then a new one emerges, while populations gain relative immunity and learn treatments to the old ones.

Nope.
That's exactly what all the doomsday mass suicide cults do.
I want to survive. Even an apocalypse. Even if my grandchildren would have to clean multi-generational C-PTSD after me like I did after my grandmother. Life is about surviving.

Will this be optional? 8O I'd certainly rather not prepare for that.

I'd rather not be killed in mass euthanasia on the premise of an asteroid could hit the earth. I think a mass euthanasia of all humanity sounds just as horrific as the asteroid scenario.

Also, space travel is becoming a more real possibility...so even with the sun eventually destroying the earth, we may have colonized mars by then.

A Greatest Potential
Of Humanity is to Develop
Ability to Remain in a State
Of Non-Fear

No Worries

And Really

Just Loving It All

NoW Enjoying Life Instead
Of 'Preparing For the End
Of the World' That is Pretty
MUCH A Common Hobby For Folks

Who Haven't Learned to Regulate
Their Emotions and Integrate Their

Senses; So, i Suggest to Prepare For Really Living NoW iN Full

To Be So Busy In Joy, Where Death And Or Fear That isn't

Much Different NoW

Is No Part of Life...

Likely No; Possible

Yes, my Reality Now...

i Don't See WHere I am

So Special WHere Others

Will Fully Breathe Without Fear too...

I think the Planet Killing Asteroid is the best way to handle the human pestilence.
If it was good enough for the dinosaurs, it is good enough for you hoomans, I say. :mrgreen:

Mars will be swallowed by the sun also.
I suggest Pluto. :P

I believe this is only speculation, at this stage.

It didn't work too well on me, however. :mrgreen:

Have a look at the moon.
It is like a 15 year old with a bad case of acne.
Many of those craters are rooly big! 8O

Actually, the most effective method of mass euthanasia in the event of a gigantic asteroid impact would be...

... a gigantic asteroid impact.

Near Earth asteroids are nothing.

Just shoot a rocket with an H bomb at it, and its either pulverized, or deflected from us. Problem solved.

In fact, we will probably start to strip mine, and to dismantle near earth asteroids for mineral ores in the not too distant future.

Three hundred years from now all near earth asteroids will be beer cans in terrestrial landfills, and will be lamenting that we "didnt conserve our near earth asteroids when we had the chance." Boo-hoo.

But supervolcanoes are another story. Against super volcanos were helpless.

When the Yellowstone Super volcano blows all of north America will be toast, and civilization will collapse.

Hahahaha. Imagine how this would go down on facebook: evil globalist WHO/UN is preparing to kill all humans!

... I'm imagining, acceptance of WHO/UN distributed vaccines will go down drastically.

Also: aren't they already doing some genocide thing to replace white people with non-white people fir a reason I never understood? Chemtrails?
