Like, after we drive ourselves off a cliff because of the natural world reacting to our bullshit, shrugging us off like insects, I'm dying to find out about the next epoch following the Anthropocene.

The next sentient species to roam the Earth, be it a million years from now....will they learn about us, will they enact communism? Will they actually live the lives that no species on this planet ever managed to live?

Shit, forget about the extinction of humanity. In the unlikely instance that civilization and humanity doesn't collapse, it hurts to know I won't be alive for a true communist utopia. Because it will come one day, it's inevitable. But it's sure as shit not happening within our lifetimes.

    I don't see why Human extinction is impossible. Extinction is the rule in nature, and Humans are still part of nature. Sure, humans are smarter than all other species, but we're also not strangers to mass death. When famines happens millions upon millions of people who were just as intelligent and conscious as you died, because that intelligence didn't matter when they were in an environment that could not sustain their life. not saying it's likely, But I think human extinction is absolutely possible if major changes happen suddenly to the environment from a severe loss of bio-diversity. This exinction also may not be sudden (from a human perspective), lasts thousands of years, potentially longer than urban civilization up to this point.
