31. I always take the long view.

In a few million years nothing will be left of humanity but a curious layer of garbage in earth's geologic record and bits of junk in outer space. Earth's ecosphere will be rapidly recovering from the mass extinction event that humans brought upon themselves.

Sure our species will muddle through for a while, but we were always a candle in the wind.

In the short term, say the next thousand years, I think we already have the technology and political ideologies we'll need to dig ourselves out of this mess. We just have to apply them.

The greatest threat to our species is anti-intellectual religions and political ideologies.
