The Human Future- We Are Approaching A Point Of No Return, Where The Earth’s Climate Could Go Out Of Control, Pitching Us Into Hothouse Conditions Which Can Spell Disaster For Our Civilization.

Humanity faces an existential emergency comprising many interlinked catastrophic risks which are now arriving together. 

Their collective scale is so great that few grasp it. Together, these risks endanger our ability to maintain a civilization, possibly even to persist as a species.

The basic cause is the sheer scale of the human enterprise: overpopulation, overconsumption, inequality, poor choice of technologies and poor social arrangements.

The crisis is vast, complex and interconnected. It affects everyone on Earth. Dimensions described by speakers at the conference include:

• Decline in the Earth’s resources especially fresh water, but also soil, forests, fish and climatic stability.
• Extinction of species and collapse of ecosystems which support human life on a scale we have never before witnessed.
• We are approaching a point of no return, where the Earth’s climate could go out of control, pitching us into hothouse conditions which can spell disaster for our civilization.
• Despite the lessons of Covid, we are still unable to identify and prevent future pandemics.
• The world food supply rests on a knife-edge, endangered by declining resources and climatic instability.
• The world is facing a freshwater crisis. Millions die preventable deaths and the food supply is increasingly at risk.
• The threat of nuclear war is higher than at any time in our history. Nuclear weapons will be used – unless they are abolished.
• Global poisoning by human chemical emissions is out of control, claiming 13 million lives every year and damaging the biosphere.
• Artificial intelligence and other advanced technologies are poorly understood and even more poorly regulated, posing new threats to society and the human future.
• The human population is growing faster than ever; discussion of ways to alleviate the issue is often silenced. 
• Our interconnected social and economic systems are the main cause of the breakdown in global environmental stability. Most countries remain focussed on growth in consumption.
• The current economic model is broken and needs to be replaced.

However, the Conference also concluded that there is much that can be done to curb the danger, limit the threats, reduce the number of lives lost to them – and improve human prosperity and wellbeing as a consequence.

The Conference called on the governments, companies and communities of the world to develop and implement an urgent plan of action that addresses all the risks and their integrated nature.

Speakers also advocated specific measures requiring immediate action, such as:

• The world needs a ‘survival revolution’ on a scale far larger than the ‘industrial revolution’
• If we meet the Paris targets and restore the biosphere, we may be able to stabilize the Earth’s climate. We must aim for net zero carbon emissions worldwide by 2040 at latest.
• We need to reduce consumption and limit our impacts on the natural world which are driving extinction. We need a global plan to restore the environment so it can support all life, including humanity. 
• We need a global Clean Earth plan to reduce the man-made chemical poisoning that kills million every year and devastates the environment.
• There must be a universal ban on all nuclear weapons and their materials . 
• We must manage freshwater for sustainability and equity. This entails new thinking, improved technologies, better economics, smarter institutions, effective outreach, and partnerships.
• We need a global surveillance and awareness system to defeat future pandemics and health threats. We need health systems which are ‘bottom up’ rather than ‘top down’ delivering healthcare as a human right.
• We can build a renewable, climate-proof food supply for everybody that will increase peace, prosperity, health and repair the environment.
• We need worldwide family planning to reduce human population growth voluntarily, everywhere. We need to discuss this issue openly and respectfully, and normalize the choice of having few or no children.
• We need far better ways to control powerful new technologies, such as artificial intelligence, to curb the risks and improve the benefits they offer.
• We need a Green New Deal that reduces inequality, ensures sustainability, triggers investment and transitions economics to a new model of prosperity and abundance.

The Conference agreed that these matters were of the greatest urgency for all – and were not, collectively, receiving sufficient attention and priority from the world’s governments, institutions, corporations, policy and decision makers.

It appealed to the people of the Earth to press for action, and to take it in their own lives, to deliver a safer, fairer human future.

What is the future of humanity?

100 years from now:
Talking: People wouldn't be talking to each other anymore, they would be thinking to each other - Transmitting Thoughts wireless where you don’t need an 4G or 5G for that, because every human would be transmitting signals and receiving as powerful as a satellite with the new advancement in communications.
Work: No physical work need to be done. No specific tasks need regularly to be done. It would be all done by Machines and Artificial intellegence enabled machines. So forget about the 40 hours a week.

Human body: with the advancement of implants and nano technology that connects to the tiniest part neuron in your body, we’ll be half human half cyborgs. We would be remembering everything and have the option of deleting a thought. Imagine if really a bad memory or suffering that you can delete that thought. Yes we will be able to do that, its all a sequence of chemicals in our brains that keep our memories that can be rearranged or replicated.

Reproduction: Imagine a world without computers or smart phones. Imagine your day without your smart phone. It is very difficult thing and now it is somehow unheard off. This is what we are going to have, you really don’t need to get pregnant as a woman, its all can be prepared in the lab with the perfect conditions and environment. It still can be your egg and your partners sperm, but do you want to have that? or a much better sperm at least. Another questions comes , do you need to have kids when you can live indefinitely if you can afford it.

Mortality: Since you’ll be half cyborg, you can download all your memories and data to a portal and back it up every night. So if you accidentally die by mistake you are still inside the Disc and then you can upload yourself to a new connected cyborg.

Classes and Population: With all the machines that don’t need oxygen to breath and only solar power to function and they can repair themselves; then you don’t need working forces and billions of that one machine can do 1000 people’s work. and Machines can replicate themselves and suddenly (in 20 years times 2050–2070)) billions aren’t needed. Hence only the elite that can afford to be cyborgs and the gap of intelligence and power is even further than our current social life. There will be a lot of people outcasts that are living in villages or underground and they still die and eat normally, but they have better robots and better technology to help their lives, and they are rarely needed by the rich, only to do things that robots won't do like illegal things.
The poor people (like most of us) would be mainly irrelevant if we ever survive the global warming and other wars. Global warming is going to have a major effect on food, and there might come a time that people would kill each other for a piece of bread within this century. Although this sound very far from happening now, but think about the oil reserves depleting and the changes in the weather, you will understand that there might be a black swan effect in the food supply.

Family: Forget about Family and marriage and monogamy and sex as we know it. all these are going to be changed and you might be thinking how bad it would be, but really it is going to be logical with the technological advancement. If you keep enabling the human emotions in your body, you can get much more than sex with thoughts inductions directly in your brain that gives you more pleasure than sex/food etc…

Space: Exploration of the outer space would much easier, since we can send AI’s that work on batteries and solar and no need to breath and take much faster decisions through super calculations. We will understand much more and we’ll discover new planets that will be good for half humans half cyborgs to live in, and we could travel there after sleeping 20 years. This isn’t movies , it will be a reality, so many advancements will be there in every aspect of our lives.

Emotions: Human’s will be much and much less emotional, we will feel less pain, and we would understand more how everything affects us and counter that with different thoughts that are induced in our brains and with more understanding we’ll be less emotional since most of the expectations will be met.
