What do you mean the earth is a living thing? You believe it is sentient?
Human extinction; is it avoidable? Are there any plausible theories on how humans could survive forever?

We only see modern human behaviors, language, figurative art, proto-religion start around forty thousand years ago

>what are the central Americans mining mercury
>what are the Chinese utilizing coal several thousand years before Europe
>what are the Sumerians literally wiping out the cedar rain forests for charcoal for copper and bronze smelting and farming
>what are the great plains tribes of the Americas cutting down trees and maintaining the great buffalo herds
Only the nigger wasn't able to carve his will onto the world and he will slide into extinction once resources get thin and he cannot adapt to living on his own.

It would seem over a long enough period of time that the environment will change quicker than we could adapt.
Ayden Davis
The binary value of trust associated with humanity must first be resolved to a fuzzy logic value for this to be possible.
Jose Watson
Bioengineering. It's pretty much the only way to control evolution.
Daniel Green
Control it in the sense of rapidly ceasing to be baseline human more like. I don't know why you would have that tech and use it to stagnate into a living fossil.
Matthew Cruz
This so much.
It doesn't need to be sentient in order to be a living system. Think of the plants, animals, mushrooms, bacteria, etc. All lifeforms on the planet working together, creating this huge, beautiful ecosystem we call Earth. All, except one. One that spreads uncontrollably, destroying everything around and even its own lifeground in the process. That's the literal definition of cancer.
Jordan Lewis
Yes and the only species capable of spreading life beyond its own pale blue dot into the galaxy for as long as the stars last, far longer than our own sun which will scour this rock in another 3 billion years ending the great experiment of life. Cancers can't survive without a host, they certainly do not create new hosts or strive to function without one in space.
