Ends in 50 Years

The world is on fire

The World as we know it ends in 50 years. Complete and total annihilation.

Or so some say.

It's The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)​

If that's true, what do we/you do?
Give up? Go with the flow? Create Chaos?

Some say the world will reach its end
In years two score and ten.
If this is true, what shall I do?
Fold up and say "amen"?

Hell naw! I'll raaawr!
And though a lady old I'll be,
I'll guzzle Southern Comfort
Straight! (Instead of in my tea.)

I'll have a wheelchair motorized,
Tear up the Walmart aisles,
Then take my wheelchair on the road
And, grinning, zoooom for miles.

Cop cars won't catch me, coz here is
A move you will admire:
I'll fling my dentures on the road
To puncture every tire.

The Doomsday clock is ticking down,
The question that remains:
Will I have crashed and burned before
Come fiery hurricanes?

If not, then give me strength to make one gesture as I die --
Though Hell be pelting, my flesh melting
In world ablaze, let bone show raised
My middle finger to the sky.

The knowledge of it changes the future. We stop it from happening or we isolate it or flee from it. An alternative is to build an ark, stuff it with animals and food and a few people, and send it away.

Better yet, make lots of arks.

Looking back 50 years, I think that prediction could have been made then and become true today. The world as I knew it isn't any more.

In 50 years we will probably have super AIs which might or might not have taken over. The climate may have changed more than predicted and the few survivors are all living in the arctic and antarctic regions. It won't be the world as we know it.

I would not suggest giving up. The hypothetical does not specify the mechanism or cause of the total annihilation in 50 years, so cannot make recommendations on what might be positive alternatives to giving up.
Yup. So many possible ways we could all bite the dust. Mass volcanism. Comet/Bolide impact. Ecological collapse. Nearby supernovae. Gamma ray burst. A planetary gravitational disruption caused by a rogue star entering the system. Global nuclear war. Pandemic disease...massive attack from a hostile alien species.
Plus many more...

So many different challenges to would be survivors.

Fortunately, given the size of the Cosmos, odds on being hit by a rogue star would be quite small in my estimation. Still, people win the lottery despite the odds. :)

Still, would only have to brush past the edges of the solar system, to wreak havoc on us. It could disrupt the orbit of Kuiper belt objects, send them toward the inner solar system. Bad times. :p
