This just hit my radar and since the doomsday thread seems to have
wrapped itself up, this thread is the likeliest place for this link:

Unextropic title and journalistic bias aside, at least it has some fun
pictures. :)
Interesting points. It doesn't mention the Singularity, hopefully not
out of the author's ignorance, but in light of the fact that the
definition of "life" would simply have changed. Nor does it mention us
failing to get off the planet before the sun burns out. Also; it's
outside the scope of Mez's great statistical find on aging - which
deals more with individual survival than species-level survival.
