This is way too far into the future for any of us to really predict. I personally believe that we are in the middle of a trend that will prove almost impossible to reverse, which is rapidly declining fertility rates in the developed world. I also believe that AI and robotics are going to be a huge part of human civilization within our lifetime, I'm 34 btw. I think people severely underestimate how fast this is going to completely change the world as we know it. I can imagine a world where humans are cyborgs of some sort, we might physically be biological entities but we can get replacement parts that more or less keep us relatively young. Things like 3d printing will allow us to make organs, muscles, etc. With this said, I think there are a lot of cards on the table that honestly show that we could go extinct OR have a much smaller population. I also believe that the ruling elite feel they don't need so many bodies because of AI and automation, therefore there is no need for a large population.

[@bcparks08]

[@alexven92]

There must always be an incentive or necessity as this podcast guest put it. So what's the incentive for us to "colonize the solar system"? What would we even do there, other than scientific purposes? One thing I can think of is to mine raw materials. However very large meteoroid have been shown to have way more supplies of rare metals so my bet is that we would have "meteoroid crackers" with a mining fleet providing employment.

[@jacobvanveit3437]

This might sound weird, but he did say to think with an open mind to how they might of thought… The puppy is a representation of a child, the very one that would be sacrificed for prosperity of whatever the Mayans felt dear! So, if the puppy is having sex with the Mayan, it would possibly mean that the culture felt the child was “reseeding” their spirit back into the spirit world so as to make long term ties to genetically gifted good human spirits. Perhaps the child sacrifice was bread for that very specific reason. That specific dates meant specific sacrifices based on the belief of what that day would bring to society. I’d like to know if mayans had a specific lesser deities associated with each day or each month? I’d be curious if there is a correlation of sacrifice and the day the human was born on in conjunction with the calendar.

What happens after we desalinate the oceans?

[@underdogpsychosis2841]

We either all ascend or we become Mad Max.

[@matthewviramontes3131]

First of all it's important to note that technology doesn't automatically improve over time. For example, thousands of years ago the Egyptians, Maya indians and whoever else were building pyramids and great empires, but their technology didn't just continue to improve and improve over the last few thousand years. Matter of fact, it got absolutely halted and those civilizations either disappeared or had to start over. So regardless of how well the U.S., China, India or even humanity as a whole is doing right now, there's no guarantee that all this technology will just continue on a path of improvement. It could all falter, all of humanity could be wiped out by one cataclysmic event, or anything along those lines could happen. However, the good news is that in modern times, it's not just a few nations that have all the technology, it's pretty spread out globally because the internet and modern day communications, and so the more it's spread out the harder it is to be wiped out by one single event. Continuing with that logic, if humanity wants to survive for another 10,000 years and continue to improve in technology over that time, it's in our best interests to continue to spread out into the cosmos. Step 1 of that is colonizing our entire solar system. If we can accomplish that say within the next few hundred years, I'm fairly certain we'll be able to get to that 10,000 years into the future and be vastly more improved in our technologies.

[@tye829]

A common misconception, but unless you really try to cherry pick, the trajectory of technology has been continuous improvement throughout human history, and globally. No one had to really start over when the Egyptians disappeared, as they did not disappear but were rather absorbed into another, more advanced Roman civilization, and then another more advanced Islamic one after that. Even after the classical period, the medieval period was one of massive technological advancement with the development of windmills, mechanical clocks, new mining and agricultural/irrigation technologies, gunpowder/cannons, printing press, gothic architecture, the list goes on... Every major civilization since the Egyptians has been more advanced than them. They were advanced for their time, and they could build very large triangular prisms, but every major civilization after them had the technology to do that too, plus even more impressive stuff in addition to that, they just chose not to build a tall triangle because they had no reason to do that and had figured out other more intricate and practical forms of architecture anyhow. The Maya, on the other hand, were particularly undeveloped, as they had hardly developed writing at a time when other civilizations had established global trade networks and increasingly complex machinery (like I mentioned, mechanical clocks were being invented while the mayans were still telling time -- somewhat accurately, granted -- with rocks the same way people in other parts of the world had done it thousands of years prior). Sure, there have been small, short-lived hiccups in specific places at various points, such as when Rome fell and formerly poor northern sections of empire were suddenly independent, they get off to a rocky start as they no longer benefit from the greater empire. Maybe there has been one or two rediscovered things that were forgotten, but the trajectory of mankind's technology overall has been virtually continuous advancement.

10000 from now they’re basically saying the Tower of Babel will be built.

[@ShakeDaUniverse]

It will be turned back into a Paradise! Like it originally was. A Garden of Eden.

[@notjustforme]

Why does everyone want a garden? Gardens are very uncomfortable in winter. They are full of bugs. What's up with the whole garden idea? What's the attraction?

End times. Abraham n Sarah. 2,000 years. Daniel 9.25 7x7 n 62x7: 483 years. Crucifixion, Death n Ressurection. 2,000 years. Daniel 9.27 2x42 months. The Return of Our Lord. Millennial Reign of Christ. 2,000 years. The End

It will look the same. We will be an ancient civilization.

In 10,000 years, will they know that the year is 12,024?

[@cptmuska]

Using technology for research management and not having politicians, fixing / dismantaling political systems.

[@Art-is-craft]

That is a technocratic system. Which you would not want to live under.

Humankind will need 1 world government eventually. It is necessary for the species to survive. Otherwise, we will die out from war or some terrible natural disaster that will have required a single global effort to combat. Not possible with multiple countries existing. Could be a long time from now, but eventually. If you are reading this 10,000 years from now then you know I am correct because we probably have a single global government at that point.

10K years from now we will be living in space on starships and have soooo many planets colonized and redone to our wants. Maybe we will have our own planets we own?

I have seen enough to prove we will not last that long. Some might survive and start a new. But what we know won't even last another 100 years.

[@raclark2730]

Set we have been around in various forms for millions of years. Do we tap out of the brave survival struggle of the ancestors. Just because we are at a hard junction. Do or die, sink or swim, this is the way of life and the path of evolution. That is not even just about we but just the way it is.
