ABSTRACT

Humanity may actually discover the means for faster-than-light travel, thereby significantly moving up timelines for finding other homes in our and neighboring galaxies, but this does not mean that we ought to drop these items from our anticipations with respect to our journey through space and time. The span of time includes events we can anticipate and also achievements by humanity that can be considered absolutely necessary for our survival and also gloriously aspirational. The important points are that existential risks like climate change ought not to be ignored and that those seemingly being caused by humanity need to be dealt with much sooner than later. One can anticipate that this sanguinity could result in globally catastrophic collapse of our technological infrastructure, our economies, and even in the world’s population. Genetic engineering technologies have produced numerous benefits for humanity.
