What is the future of the human species?
Shall we cause our own extinction, or shall some other event cause it for us?

The decline in sperm count, children and global disease |
|
| |
On present trends over hundreds of years,
it is possible that the male human will become infertile (no sperm). Such is
the rapid rate of decline in the fertility of men in developed and developing
countries. If this is allowed to happen then the human species is doomed.
|
|
| |
At the same time, the global connectivity
of mass populations of human beings also means the rapid potential for global
pandemics the likes of which have never been seen. A killer seasonal influenza
virus (cold) could kill hundreds of millions of human beings. |

Future disasters |
|
| |
There is no question that without some
kind of technology response, the Earth will be hit by large asteroids/comets in
the future, potentially causing the total extinction of the human race. In the
meantime, the lack of geometric strength in human building design (domes
instead of squares) means much of human settlement is vulnerable to major
climactic disruptions.

Does the future have to be so? |
|
| |
Yet for everything terrible that is
happening, does the future have to be so? Does the future have to be inevitably
bad?
|
|
| |
New thinking, new models are required |
|
| |
To break our collective negative mindset
is to have new ways of thinking, new models of planning, of technology, of
sustainable community living.
|
|
| |
The UCADIAN model |
|
| |
The UCADIAN
model is just such a set of new ideas and new models, fashioned to help
support new ways of thinking and the adoption of new models for a positive
future. In particular, the UCADIAN model addresses Earth issues through
TEKNAS and CIVILA models.
