Go galactic civilization if possible, Ascension, Accept Extinction

[Bendy 1,821]

Three choices for Human Survival.

 

Go galactic civilization if possible. Quite literally go the way of Futurama or Mass Effect or any other space science fiction. And we get to keep our organic bodies. This is assuming we can travel the universe quite quickly.

 

Ascension. Download our minds into machines and thus become immortal sapient machines (machines that can make machines and repair themselves, therefor immortal) to avoid extinction if we can't leave our solar system in time. The good news about this choice they can preserve our Human DNA deep underground and clone us back to life once they find a new Earth like planet for us.

 

Accept Extinction. Literally just sit and wait until the sun melts our planet leaving it a barren lifeless rock.

 

Now if we're talking about multiverse travel (assuming multiverse theory is true) well then we could never die, unless we bump into something like The Combine from Half Life. But there's more Humans in the multiverse from other parallel universes, so that's good news.

Gotta be honest the last two options seem kinda sucky. Well at least for now haha Maybe (if possible) choose Ascension when my human body becomes frail and useless. Depends on the situation.

I'd pick Ascension, if we couldn't go galactic civilization.

 

As long as we don't become the Reapers. And actually work to protect Human life (find a new new Earth like planet for them to live on.) and all other life. Not harvest and destroy life.

 

LET US NEVER BECOME THIS:

I would go to a galactic civilization,because: 1. It would allow the human race continue as it should. 2. It is better than ascension because being immortal would make life eventually boring (and I hate being bored). 3. It would make my currently boring life much more interesting

Organic bodies have physical limits which is why I push for option 2. If we can figure out what makes us tick and transfer ourselves into machines, we could rid ourselves of problems like disease and malnutrition. The problem is obvious though, corruption in such a system would be very palpable. Knowing us, we would probably literally turn into something like the borg to prevent galactic terrorism...

What I think the problem with ascension into machines is that 1. we still might not make it through the apocalypse, 2. we would need to use electricity, which I have no idea how we could make if we were stored as data and 3. what if there was a glitch in the system we were in or if the system shuts down/restarts?
