    Perhaps we should begin to see climate change not just as a problem, but as an opportunity. For the emergence of another, more intelligent species.

        Less of a slow moving extinction event, and more like chaos that spurs needed evolutionary changes (instead of neural links, people should be working on giving humans gills to breath thru). The robots will do better.

        Building robots from cells might be a better idea (and it's what nature already did, of course).

        What current species would it be likely to descend from?

        It depends on whether the world just shifts for a while, in which case it's probably going to be another mammal, or whether everything tips and the planet goes full Nausicaa for a few hundred thousand years, in which case the lca may be an invertebrate?

        Hey Joscha, elsewhere I heard you refer to climate change as an existential threat to humanity. IMHO, I think it should, instead, be considered as a catastrophic threat. Do you agree or do you really think it is existential? Thanks for any clarification!

        Yes, I think climate change is almost certainly an existential threat to humanity. It will probably lead to a population reduction within the next century, which may be accompanied with world wars. There is also an extinction risk if we kill our food chain or tip the atmosphere.

        That's dark. Might take 50 million years or so, but I'm voting for land-dwelling brachiating squids, or some other cephalopod.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0kzMmcTS8I …
