There’s something very bleak about a future where humanity survives, rebuilds, and hits the wall of having exhausted the resources we need to get back to where we could have built a sustainable industrialized society. A world humanity can once more dream of the stars while knowing we cannot ever get there, the weight of the past holding us to the earth we ravaged just as much as gravity itself.
I wager our successors aren't going to wax romantic about us or our "achievements." I would think that the future myths about the ancestors who fucked everything up with their hubris and left the world covered in poison and plastic garbage are going to be something to behold
Yeah, it’s a lost future unless something unexpected happens. We could have been more though.
