We've all have heard the saying "History Repeats itself". And with this in mind, every single great civilization: The Romans, Mayans, the Aztecs, etc. have all eventually fell. Are us as humans, just destined to live in this constant loop of repeating history and not learning from it, and ultimately driving ourselves to extinction repeatedly?

Well, the first time humans reverted their develompent was during the Bronze Age Collapse, then after the fall of the Roman Empire. Now with the presence of nuclear weapons, we threaten to either wipe ourselves entirely as a race or reverse development and make humanity a bunch of hunter-scavenger communities like in Fallout or The Walking dead (minus the zombies of course)

"Who not learns from history is doomed to repeat it".
I say we've always learned something from the past ... but by doing one step forward and two steps backwards. That's our jam. "Life is that prison you'll never leave alive." |

I don't believe human civilization will ever fully collapse like it has done in the past purely because we've developed past the point of nations fully collapsing. Even when a nation is all but ravaged and annexed by another (eg. France during WWII) their allies eventually restore it. The closest we would probably get to a collapse of a nation is either nuclear war, natural disaster or, more realistically, a more extreme economic depression like that of the 1920s.

^ this is why they teach History.... There is a difference between hearing what the teacher says and listening to what the teacher is saying... sooo yes if you don't learn from others (past) mistakes you me us we are all doomed to fail.... it's not a matter of if but, when.

Such an edgy thread. We're stupid petrol monkeys and we're all doomed.

Every time we've had a step back in technology and civilization, we have always fully recovered and then some. After the fall of the Roman empire and the dark ages, we took an enormous leap forward with the renaissance and the industrial revolution. We have a space station for fuck's sake. And because of the internet and other databases we have documented damn near everything that's ever been witnessed incredibly well. I don't think human civilization can ever be wiped out totally until we're burned up by the expanding sun.
In short, I'm incredibly optimistic about human civilization. Last edited by Babs; November 2nd, 2017 at 10:33 PM. |

by the end, I think people will realize what's right and wrong, without mistakes. so yes, we are destined to fail.

I think humans would collapse after we run out of fuels, and technology can't be built anymore, because all of earth's natural resources were consumed. That's when I believe we'll start to see the decline, because of lack of transportation and communication, to where everyone would start to feel its up to themselves to live on, by being selfish and eventually collapsing on themselves. Our population is growing too fast anyway, too. So food might go out unless we start to turn cannibalistic.

Welcome to our dangerous future, where its Battle Royale, Hunger Games, PUBG, or whichever you prefer. Those movies n games are predicting our destructive futures.

I have been thinking, why not try to work on space travel and strip mine barren planets and asteroids. That will postpone our destruction due to a lack of resources. Still, I think we will rather destroy eachother before that
