This is going a bit too far! I am sure that there will soon be a pill to control freethinking….if pharma has anything to say about it!

The End Is Near!
Nope this not a leftover post from the debacle of the 2012 predictions…..but we must admit that all good things must end and eventually this too shall pass…..
If that is correct …….how shall it pass? I know you think I will go on about global warming….but you would be mistaken……there are other ways for this to end and global warming is only one possibility……there are others…….
From Planet of the Apes to After Earth, Hollywood has depicted Earth’s demise many a time—but scientists’ fears of planetary catastrophe are just as scary, LiveScience reports. Here are a few Doomsday scenarios as imagined by scientific minds:
- Global warming: Scientists call this the biggest threat of all. Extreme weather, increased droughts, redistribution of diseases, submerged low-lying areas … future generations might live on a very nasty planet.
- Pandemic threat: New pathogens come up annually, so why not? Think SARS, bird flu, and the recent coronavirus MERS. “The threat of a global pandemic is very real,” said Joseph Miller, who co-authored the textbook Biology.
- Fungus: Fungal threats can be even more destructive than bacterial ones. “We’ve had a new amphibian fungal disease that has just had devastating effects,” said a scientist at the University of California, Berkeley. A killer fungus of humans would be just as deadly.
- Killer robots: Sounds nutty, sure, but the UN has called for a ban on them. And many computer experts say that the singularity—the moment when artificial intelligence outpaces human intelligence—is not far off.
Click to read about five more scenarios, including the “Snowball effect”—when multiple disasters come together in a not-so-perfect storm.
Pick one or pick several….not matter how one tries to deny it….this will end one day…..Personally, I kinda like the killer robot scenario………Peace out!
