Maybe it was a nuclear war, devastating climate change, or a killer virus. But if something caused people to disappear, imagine what would happen afterward.

I liked this article. It was a weird feeling to read it because I felt like it would be quite nice if humans disappeared from the planet…

At the same time I’m happy to be here, enjoying all the tech we have and the tools we have, the food we eat.

I still think humans can live in harmony with nature but we don’t have any good leaders to take civilization in that direction. So in the end, we will probably perish because we fought over power and money until there was nothing left.

    Not necessarily. If we disappear, there will be no one left to maintain the dangerous technology we use that could ruin the planet further if it fails. For example, nuclear power plants.

    Of course, even that will eventually clear up, and the planet will recover, but I wasn’t sure if you meant short-term or long-term.

      Long term. Those problems will be resolved (mostly) in a few hundred years.
