    I just wish I could see how life goes on without me. How our world changes in the future beyond my limited time on this planet.

    I think about people who lived hundreds of years ago. How they couldn’t even imagine the scientific and technological advancements that we have. And then I think about hundreds of years into the future. What changes will be so extreme and advanced that I can’t even imagine it today?

    I wish there was some way for me to glimpse into that future and see where society is heading. Will we expand out to the stars? Will we be extinct long before we leave this planet? What’s the ultimate future for humanity? These are questions I want to know, but will never get a chance to find out, unless everyone but me dies out in the next 30-40 years. And I highly doubt that’s gonna happen.

    If I know anything at all after I’m dead, I will already have the answer to the biggest question from all major religions

    There is no “know” after you die. Best to know before you die. After there is nothing.

    OMG! So many things. I’d probably spend months looking through the stats of my life alone. But first, dinosaurs! What did they actually look like? How did they act? What actually killed them?
