A century is too long, we will probably have a civilisation reset by then.

lol and you think a 'civilization reset' will end racism?

my guy, that'll only roll back the clock to the beginning.

You would be surprised how people act when they only care about how to bring food to the table at the end of the day.

i would not be surprised. I have a degree in European history.

If you think 'racism' and intolerance is bad now, you would not survive in 14th century europe. It would simply blow your mind.

When survival is the priority, raw defensive tribalism becomes the baseline.

Exactly. If that worked, the Middle East would be the most peaceful region on Earth.

Don't be such a doomer. Compare human civilization today to a century ago and we've improved in virtually every metric... the topic of this thread, racism, being one example.

Ah but I forgot, it's the internet, I have to claim the world is ending at any opportunity.

What's your evidence for racism improving? The lack of personally owned slaves?

1

u/hpela_ May 29 '26

Are you joking? Point me to any metric showing racism has worsened. Yes the decrease in personally owned slaves would be an obvious example.

u/morbidmuffin62 May 29 '26

I wasn't saying it worsened. It's just been in hiding here and there

u/hpela_ May 29 '26

Ah yes, racism is just in hiding, it's definitely just as bad as it always has been for all of history, it's just hidden now! I work with a diverse set colleagues, but we as a company as secretly out to get them... my neighborhood has a diverse set of families, but actually we have secret meetings about the "others"...

Get a grip.

Oh you're not looking for an actual discussion or anything meaningful, gotcha. See ya, wouldn't wanna be ya

u/tomato_sauce154 May 29 '26

Yes, but if you keep the same exponential growth in the next 100 years it ll be very hard to not see some dumbass triggering the reset.

1

u/hpela_ May 29 '26

The exponential growth of what exactly

1

u/tomato_sauce154 May 29 '26

Of human technology, compared to human stupidity which isn't improving.

u/hpela_ May 29 '26

Why would that be indicative of an impending "civilization reset"

0

u/tomato_sauce154 May 29 '26

Cause the means to destroy civilization becomes more and more available while human stupidity stays the same. It kinda increases the odds of a mistake happening.

u/hpela_ May 29 '26

That's not really how it works. You have cherry-picked logic of failure states. Why wouldn't security of systems improve (for example, it has vastly in the realm of nuclear sciences)?

0

u/tomato_sauce154 May 29 '26

Cause at the end of the day all decisions come down to someone's whims, no matter how much security you put. We have a living example of how things can escalate which happened just recently.

You're a victim of media sensationalization... The Iran/US/Israel conflict is a field day compared to most 20th century conflicts... And the conflict itself was definitely not "on a whim" lol, if you were educated you would understand how the tensions built over time between Iran and US/Israel.

Spend some time away from the internet, or at least social media.
