Great article. The biologically boring future has been exemplified by weed
From Climatebites
invasions of the past where single species replaced diverse species groups. The rate of selection for successful traits varies across species. Invasive species with short generation times are the best candidates for surviving something such as anthropogenic climate change that occurs in years and decades. Short-lived weeds and arthropods will be with us a long time. Longer-lived, slower-reproducing species such as giant redwoods, whales, elephants, and moose, probably won’t. Humans are in this second group. If our technology ever fails to protect us from the changing environment, we will be gone too.
Great stuff, although I think our survival will be more dependent upon our collective exercising of wisdom than our reliance on technology. Guns, for example, are powerful tools; but they can be just as deadly to the shooter if not used wisely.
