Maybe. But it's possible that most or all are like us, unlikely to
survive as a technological species long enough to venture far from
their birthplace before going extinct.

Nihilistic nonsense. AGW will certainly not be the cause of such
extinction, so why are you so adamant about it?

You don't actually know what nihilism is, do you?

If you believe that the race cannot survive in the long run, then you have
no basis for morals or values.

And where does AGW enter in? Some obsession of yours? I didn't mention it,
and I'm not talking about it.

You have vigorously supported it in other threads. Are you implying that
you have a compartmentalized mind? In those other threads, I have expressed
doubt about it, so I'm certainly not the one "obsessed" by it. I'm just
wondering how someone who will viciously attack others for not believing
in AGW can justify believing that the race will die anyway. It seems
that someone who holds both of those views is very conflicted.
