Do you feel that humanity is likely to kill itself off before it is capable of traveling light years away?

I was watching videos about space, and I really came to understand just how incapable we are as a species currently (possibly for the next millennium) to travel a single light-year. It is 6 trillion miles after all. I just got to thinking that the quantum leap in technology would have to be so massive before humanity caved in and died.

Everything in our current culture seems so ass backwards, I mean, the Kardashian's alone as a concept is egregious. It seems so banal to me, and yet millions of millions are aware of them and not a single pioneer in a scientific field, save Elon Musk. Shit, even I'm guilty of this.

Are we going to kill ourselves off before we reach another hospitable planet?

Let's be honest traveling to another star system is a pipe dream, but what's got me really excited is conquering our own solar system.
>>
>>2347174

I just read an article that humanity, in a physical sense, is only realistically going to colonize Mars whereas the rest of the planets will be explored via whatever robots we poop out.

Experiencing Pluto through neural VR thanks to nanobots making use of solar sails is my best guess.

But I agree. Don't know why now but I just have this feeling of excitement in my gut of what is to be of humanity in the next thousand or so years. What we've done in the past 50 is absolutely insane.

It's because humanity isn't connected enough; the connections we have now are too superficial. We're in a transitional phase right now.

Because it had such a huge territory, imagine a single state spanning from Boston to North Carolina.

Realistically it should be partitioned into three separate states at least.

Give me a slow rundown on Diogenes, founder of cynicism and near told Alexander the Great himself to fuck off because he blocked the sunlight.

And ontop of that; Alexander the Great told his followers the moment after that if he were not Alexander the Great, he would be Diogenes.

They drove artistic convention for a long time

First of, apologies for another ww2 thread. I know there's probably like 10 of them each hour.

But the saying "germany would have won the war if he would've listened to his genreals"

I fully understand that what ever the germans did they probably didin't have the manpower or the resources to fully "win" the war. I assume that maybe they could've come to an stalemate or a peace agreement ?

But was Hitler really this super retard who fucked over his generals, or is it just his generals trying to wash them selves clean for whatever failures and bad ideas themselves had and instead blamed it all on Hitler ? I mean Hitler died, it's not like he could defend his actions afterwards.

Unlikely, given the political situation in September of 1939. You already had a lot of ill-will towards Germany pre-existing, and Hitler rapidly re-arming and breaking several treaties just in the last few years means that very few of his peace offers would be trusted. He has to win totally, or lose.

>But was Hitler really this super retard who fucked over his generals, or is it just his generals trying to wash them selves clean for whatever failures and bad ideas themselves had and instead blamed it all on Hitler ?

A bit of both, really. Hitler also got more interfering and erratic as the war went on, when it meant less and less as Germany's position was getting increasingly hopeless.

NO; THE ZIONIST ALLIES WOULD NEVER HAVE ALLOWED A NATIONAL SOCIALIST EMPIRE TO PERSIST, NOR WOULD THEY HAVE ALLOWED NATIONAL SOCIALISM ITSELF TO PERSIST IN ANY ACTUAL FORM.

THE SECOND WORLD WAR WAS NOT MERELY A SOCIOPOLITICAL CONFLICT, BUT AN IDEOLOGICAL, AND ETHICOMORAL, ONE.

>But was Hitler really this super retard who fucked over his generals, or is it just his generals trying to wash them selves clean for whatever failures and bad ideas themselves had and instead blamed it all on Hitler ? I mean Hitler died, it's not like he could defend his actions afterwards.

NO; THE POPULAR NOTION THAT ADOLF HITLER MADE MULTIPLE STRATEGIC, AND TACTICAL, ERRORS, NEGLECTING MORE INFORMED OPINIONS, AND ADVICE, FROM HIS GENERALS, IS SPURIOUS, MAINLY ARISING FROM POSTWAR RATIONALIZATIONS BY MANY OF THOSE GENERALS WHO WERE INCAPABLE OF COMPREHENDING MANY OF ADOLF HITLER'S STRATEGIC, AND TACTICAL, DECISIONS —EXEMPLUM GRATIA: DUNKIRK.

THE THIRD REICH LOST THE WAR MAINLY DUE TO LOGISTICAL DEFICIENCY, NOT TO TACTICAL, NOR STRATEGIC, ERRORS.
