I mean that’s the brightest future right, them bombs give out all kinds of light.
If you want to be “accurate” middle age and now would be the same line (because the last millennia is about 0.33…% of homo sapien’s history) and bright future would be pretty fucking long because there’s at least a billion years ahead of us for life on Earth, probably more…
Oh I can see you don’t read news
Lol
Humans aren’t the only beings living on this planet and other life forms will thrive long past the point where homo sapiens disappear.
because there’s at least a billion years ahead of us for life on Earth, probably more…
That’s optimistic. With record heat levels, it’s going to become uninhabitable for humans long before a billion years.
That’s just humans though, plenty of life will go on living and they will probably be better off without a global apex predator in their way. That will be the true bright future for life on Earth. Maybe we’ll eventually manage to better ourselves and solve the climate problems we’re facing too, time will tell.
One thing though, some sections of the planet will become uninhabitable for humans, not all though. People have been living in the scorching heat of the desert for thousands of years, if the average summer temperature closer to the poles increases to 27 instead of 22, people will manage to survive there, worst case they’ll adopt a nomadic lifestyle again.

They want a bright future just for themselves. Not for the society as a whole
that doesnt work though. Happyness consistently is highest in societies which have the strongest wealth distribution.
Why are you not in lemmygrad, comrade?

And now you’ve outed yourself for our blocklists. Good job.

in reality the graph alternates black and white and only holds true for one certain location/group at a time
The day i realized this and that i wouldn’t live to see said bright future was rather disheartening
Humanity will not exist long enough to reach said bright future
I’m worried the bright future will start right as the last humans die…
That’s why it’s called the bright future… Right?
We don’t have time for your full scale reality. The luxury is gone to shop for quality. It is all a sacrifice of illusion now.
Yeah, you’re mostly missing the ages prior to middle. Like stone, which was pretty huge.
Ok, added some bars to the left
Ah, much better. lol

there’s only one future for humanity that’s bright
It’s posadism time
Climate change will also kill capitalism and can signal aliens far away.
Why is a bright future assumed?
Sun eventually goes supernova.
It doesn’t. It’s not massive enough. It turns into a red giant, then collapses into a white dwarf and eventually fusion basically stops.
Yeah that’s totally not a worse death.
Realistically speaking, any of the major changes that happen near the end of a star’s life will make their planets uninhabitable on a time scale that seems pretty long from a human perspective. Imagine the last 100 years of climate change, but it just keeps getting worse at the same pace for a million years. By the time a star swells into a giant or explodes in a supernova, there won’t be anyone around to notice.
Yeah but in the process it’ll scour the surface off the earth so it’s not all bad news
Not before ballooning up and frying the Earth.
Alternatively, if we wait long enough we always have the heat death of the universe to look forward to.
I read in this book that there’s a restaurant just before that happens where you can bounce back and forth between the death of the universe and the hours before it. So that sounds cool.
Try the steak.
I don’t like food that talks to me before I eat it.
Are you a cannibal?
Shh!" said Ford. “It’s conical. So what you do is, you see, you fill it with fine white sand, alright? Or sugar. Fine white sand, and/or sugar. Anything. Doesn’t matter. Sugar’s fine. And when it’s full, you pull the plug out… are you listening?” “I’m listening.” "You pull the plug out, and it all just twirls away, twirls away you see, out of the plughole. “Clever.” “That’s not the clever bit. This is the clever bit, I remember now that this is the clever bit. The clever bit is that you then thread the film in the projector… backwards!” “Backwards?” “Yes. Threading it backwards is definitely the clever bit. So then, you just sit and watch it, and everything just appears to spiral upwards out of the plughole and fill the bath. See?” “And that’s how the Universe began is it?” said Arthur. “No,” said Ford, "but it’s a marvelous way to relax.
That’s not bright at all. That’s the darkest thing.
Very true.
Thermonuclear reactions are very bright

Sorry what learning and expanding are you talking about? Can you please be specific about which years and give a source?
pretty much everything between ~600 and 1900 and pretty much everywhere from Morrocco to Turkey to Iran.
Just read up on Moors, Ottomans, Iranians, Mail Empire, Islamic culture, science and arts…
A lot of it in Palestine got destroyed by the savage European crusaders though.
Only a little unfortunate they skipped the enlightenment, akin to what Europe had.

That’s not what it was, not by a long shot, but alright.

What the hell are you talking about? I’m talking about enlightenment, you know, the explosion of philosophy in the 17th century?such as the explosion of liberalism, ideas of socialism, The theories of government, American and french revolution, ect.

I seriously believe you’ve messed up the years
Medieval people thinking the Earth was flat is a myth that was made up during the Age of Enlightenment.
deleted by creator
That is a myth that has been debunked a long time ago. In fact, the Earth being round was discovered in antiquity and Eratosthenes measured the Earth’s circumference almost accurately in about 240 BC.
Historians of the medieval era hate the term “dark ages”, even in relation to Europe. The whole notion that the Roman Empire went poof one day and then everything sucked for 1000 years is just cartoonishly wrong.
I once heard in some history tv show that it’s called “dark ages” not because of the bad living conditions, but because we know so few things about it, compared to other history periods.
Keeping in mind that a single axis for progress is reductive: also, don’t forget that there have been and will be backslides. For example, European colonialism set back a lot of progressive / alternative cultures, genociding them or converting them to something that better-served the interests of empire (e.g., race rules).
I was gonna post this lol
