    You misinterpreted what I meant.

    “Those who come after” doesn’t mean someone’s coming after us as in chasing us.

    Those who come after as in those who exist after us. Future humans or whatever species takes over after we inevitably fuck ourselves over.

    Edit: I’m the dumb dumbass here. I’m the one who misinterpreted what was said.

    As a true rebuttal with my updated understanding, I don’t see humans dying out. We already survived one mass extinction. I have no doubt we’ll in one way or another survive the next.
