Death.

This most likely on all avenues. Can't outrun it forever. Entropy is a bitch.

It isn't "most likely" it will happen, unless there are other universes and it is somehow possible to leave this one.

Humans as we know today will be gone in about 10 million years anyway provided we aren't wiped out, as evolution will have rendered us unrecognizable by then.
This seems pretty meme-tier pseudoscience.

He's not wrong about evolution though. The longer we survive, the more time we have to change.

And I'm not wrong about the extinction of humanity being an inevitability unless we can somehow exit this universe.

"flaming nipple chops"-Your host, the man they call Ghost.

To say, 'nothing is true', is to realize that the foundations of society are fragile, and that we must be the shepherds of our own civilization. To say, 'everything is permitted', is to understand that we are the architects of our actions, and that we must live with their consequences, whether glorious or tragic.

I don't see how natural selection could possibly continue to work given the society we have created where those that are not as well off are taken care of regardless and allowed to thrive. Also, you're assuming that in 10 million years humans will have decided to not dictate their own biological forms or augment them with cybernetics. Which seems rather unlikely given 10 million years of technological progress.

Evolution still happens without natural selection - natural selection only refines traits. Changes gradually occur over time, and 10 million years is a long ass time.

And yeah, if we can influence our own forms and genetics by then I guess I'm wrong (it's pretty likely if we don't go extinct), but if not, then we'll be completely different by then.

Ever consider the fact that maybe that form of advancement is actually part of the natural structure of evolution? That technology is the result of a species evolving the capacity to create it and use it in the first place?

People will have still made it in their interests to look the same because nobody likes change and people that are different. I find it doubtful they will have changed like he implied, or especially how he implied.

I don't think so, to be honest. It'll be so gradual that nobody will be bothered by the changes. Remember, 10 million years is an extremely long time.

Oh really?

Guess you weren't counting on cultural trends then. You're thinking of this progress as an overnight change that anybody can actively see. That anybody alive today is going to live to see.

That's the thing. Between generations of people, there are minute changes. Which are appropriated by cultural trends of acceptance. Have you seen what people looked like a few thousand years ago?

How about what their ideas of beauty were? Our idea of beauty actively influences us to change ourselves to suit it. But ideas never stay the same. Therefore, neither do we.

We still have a bit of an idea, though. The theory that I personally subscribe to is heat death.

If anyone tries to become a real life furry, they will be purged from society, and if I must live 10 million years to guarantee this, so be it.

Seeing as how the stupid tend to breed like rodents, that would just make an idiocracy situation more likely.
