9/16 When I said on the 14th that humanity will die, I didn’t say anything about the time, for example. Maybe it’s still millions of years away. Humanity would have reached a multiple of its current age by then. Maybe humans will be replaced by something we built ourselves – which, in some sense, would then be our children. I also think that, if the human species ceased to exist for whatever reason, it is hard to imagine that life on earth as a whole would vanish. As long as there are still a few organisms around somewhere, the entire wheel of evolution could start over again, maybe with similar, maybe with different results. Maybe we’re not the main branch, but a side branch of life.
