>about 100 billion people have ever existed>roughly 20% of humans who have ever lived existed in the last two-hundred years, despite only being roughly .1% of the total time humans have existed>you just happen to be born around the time when the world population dramatically exploded for the first time in historyIf the current population sustained itself over the next couple thousand years, you wouldn't expect to be born so close to the original population explosion. Does this mean that humanity is going to go extinct soon?
Look just imagine all the food you ate in 2025, like one big pile of all the sticky goo and starchy snacks that you ate and ate and ate every day in 2025, relentlessly shoving snacks into your mouth and then screeching for more. Picture it all in a huge pile on the driveway of your dingy, jizz-stank suburban home.Now, your goal in 2026 is to eat roughly half that. So when you get to the end of the year in 2026 the pile will only be as big as one of your unhappy broken family's SUVs.Can you picture that?
>>18293294Lol what in the OP set you off this time
>>18293228Doomsday argument is self-refuting. Every single human who has ever lived could have used it for their time. What makes you think you just happen to be born around the time the argument will hold up?
>>18293228That is nonsense. If the current population sustained itself for thousands of years, there would still be people who lived in the 21st century and you and I would be among them.
