Definitely Science. We don't know how the full scale of science can affect us. Also technology is advancing at a rate much higher than humans have evolved. The fact is we don't really know how these changes will affect us over the long run and I definitely think something has to give at some point. Forget atomic bombs, how will AI affect humanity in the future? We're already relying way too much on technology nowadays and I just feel it might mean the end for us

The end of us could just be another step of evolution. Machines and AI could explore the universe much more efficiently than us humans. Robots have already conquered the solar system, they have been to Mars, Venus, Jupiter, Pluto and whatnot while us humans only made it to the moon. Maybe we don't even need to preserve humanity. I mean don't just always think about yourself but also others, isn't that what religion teaches us?

I say we should be nice to any form of super AI that might evolve in the next 100 years or so. If we are lucky, it will keep us as pets, the same way we keep our dogs and cats. But I don't think it's neccessarily a bad thing to just accept that humanity itself will one day be heavily outclassed by machines and AI.

umm no thanks fam, would rather kill myself
