    They were all right though, if by ‘the world’ you mean ‘the world as we know it’.

      To be fair that’s valid today too. The world as we know it is ending but maybe there’ll be some mad max style pockets of civilization after

        Or maybe it’s just the ‘we’ that’s going to be out of the equation, which is fine too I guess. Our particular form of life just isn’t that important in the grand scheme of things anyway.

          Actually we are important. We have single handedly exterminated more life than any other species. We are now on the same scale of importance as the dinosaur ending asteroid.

          I wish we weren’t. But we are.

          Our demise can’t come soon enough.

      Of course, when you change into “the world as we know it”, it was already “destroyed” several times in recent history by things like cars and the internet…
