Morons like this guarantee mankind is doomed

9. I think that's a great idea

Sort of like the plaques we put on Voyager.

All of those of us who are reasonable and serious know that unless something major changes soon we're dooming ourselves to extinction. When the World Bank and the CIA agree that climate change is a significant issue we should address then we should probably wake up and address it. But that's not happening and there are no signs it will happen any time soon.

It's not like the CIA is a lefty organization. I'm not sure how you could get a more right-leaning organization to say climate change is an issue.

So since it seems obvious we're going to take ourselves down it would be nice to leave some sort of history for those who come after us. The complicated question is how do you do that? How can you leave a history to beings who may evolve in hundreds of thousands of years or longer from now? Will whatever we leave be like the cave paintings in France and Spain are to us? How do we give them a key to decipher what we left?

This is a wonderful intellectual discussion I would love to see all those people who are so much smarter than me contribute to.
