    okay sure, but even if everything you say is true that doesn't reduce the human population to a few billionaires in a bunker

      Oh, I never suggested that. Livability on this planet will be very unevenly distributed and those who can hoard resources will protect it at all costs. But yeah, we are nearly impossible to kill off completely. Language, planning and writing are the big game changers that give us a leg up on past species that faced extinction events. I don't think even nuclear war or a meteor strike will fully wipe out humanity at this point.

        Even Threads, as depressing as it is, doesn't show humanity completely destroyed by global nuclear war. Just reduced to a level of base violence and brutality and misery that most of us would wish we were dead
