What if humanity ultimately dies out from its intelligence?
It has often been suggested we might exterminate ourselves through nuclear war, pollution, or some 12 Monkeys scenario.
But what if we just die out for lack of reproduction?
Feminism, contraception, easy divorce, the rejection of marriage, abortion, and a universal preference for recreational and not reproductive sex, enabled by science, the atheism of the ruling class, and the egoism of most believers, could do it, eventually.
Even after the lesson Das Untergang des Abendlands will provide, the rest of humanity could eventually follow.
Not that such an end for humanity would be so awful.
Eventually, the sun would blow up and kill us all, anyway, if we lasted that long.
And, anyway, each of us dies once, and only once, regardless of the eventual finish of the species that nearly none of us will live to see.
