So that's pretty much it: what are your thoughts on the future of humanity?
I would prefer to have well thought answers, as I hope this to become something of an active discussion which could contain elements of debate, so it'd be best if you are able to justify your position.

Jun of the Celadine
Widely Known
Roleplay posts: 1,410
Age: 28
Physical Description: Jun is a human adult, standing 5’4”. She is wiry and fit at approximately 120 lbs. She has olive skin, dark brown hair ending just above her shoulders, and slight epicanthic folds over her dark almond eyes. Her face is squarish with a small chin. Her skin is dotted with battle scars, and her left arm is heavily bandaged due to an unknown affliction.
Clothes and Equipment: Jun possesses a vast collection of seeds, herbs, insects, and scrolls hidden in various pouches in her armor. These serve as reagents for her multitude of spells. Her armor consists of a customized, long-coat style gambeson that is stuffed with a matrix of seeds and plant fibers. Fitted on top is a set of brass-like, enchanted half armor (chest piece, pauldrons, and tassets) which gives off a warm aura. She has an open-faced, burgonet style helmet and coif of the same materials.
Her most notable "weapons" are Blackbean and Resonance. Blackbean is an elephant-sized demon crow which has served with Jun for many years as a mount and as a bodyguard. A minor enchantment allows him to disguise himself as a regular crow. Resonance is an azure blue longsword with a mind of his own. He can intercept minor attacks and can teleport to his owner. He can also use a personal reserve of magic to aid in the casting of a single spell.

I don't even know...
Human activity, the way it's going, is completely unsustainable. No joke, whatever the future of humanity is gonna be like, it's definitely not gonna look like this.
Technology and population growth can't happen infinitely.
I imagine things crumbling slowly while humans continue to develop ways of coping with the world. I imagine people growing consciously and becoming more aware. I'd like to imagine us taking control away from the current system of government which is being bought out by selfish interests.
I'd like to imagine humans collectively doing what's right for the world, because the smartest and kindest people lately seem to be the ones least likely to make it into that power structure. The people with the greatest capacity to change the world seem to have the least amount of power, and when one comes close, they become overwhelmed and antagonized.
I think those of us who know we care about people and the world more than anyone else need to get ourselves out of a funk and start fighting back. I think we need to volunteer more, write more, express ourselves more, learn more, do more, even if it's painful, because the world needs people, and the few good people out there trying to make a difference need to know they're not alone.
However, this is likely true, whether you consider this a blessing or a sad fact: humans will survive, even if our lives are unrecognizable centuries from now.

Humanity will be flooded out by technology. Technology desires knowledge and power. When it gets its first breathe of life, it will be our ally. When it reaches a point where it can self sustain, we're screwed.

Epraiym Tagas
New
Roleplay posts: 4
Age: 52
Physical Description: Tall and skeletal, Epraiym presents the figure of someone not long for this world, all bones and pallid skin that is alternatively loose and shrunken. Bushy gray eyebrows, the only hair on his head, hang low over faded brown eyes, contrasting with his thin, bloodless lips. But this belies his vigor, for he is still as sharp and active as when he was a young man just out of the Iveluan rectory.
Clothes and Equipment: A variety of gold and basalt rings adorn his fingers, marks of both his office and his predilection for pleasures of the flesh, contrasting sharply with his simple clothing. Typically dressed in black, gray, dark green, or navy cowls, plain undyed cotton coifs, starched collars, a wide-brimmed felt hat and fine leather boots, when on assignment a light mail coat is secreted under his robes, against which is pressed a concealed stiletto, both protection from rulers angered by his professions.
