Is the adolescence of the human race about to end? If so, how, if at all, will humanity handle the responsibilities they would take on as fully-fledged adults for the first time in history?
one of the main features, all throughout human history (and even non-human animal history before that), is the transitioning into more advanced and more efficient ways of existence. for the 'adolescence' analogy, you could just as well apply that same analogy to another phase, such as the time before the invention of writing. or, the time before the invention of electricity. either way, it's crazy and it always seems like none of this has ever happened before, at least on earth
