By Bernie on 18 Aug 2010
Here is an easy quiz: look at the following extinction timeline and tell me what is missing from the chart. click on the image for a detailed view (PDF 1.2MB).
This Extinction Timeline was created jointly by What’s Next (who tells us that this is partly a bit of fun so don’t take it too seriously) and Future Exploration Network.
If the chart is too difficult to read, here is a quick summary of a few of the things that we can anticipate will become extinct in coming years:
2012 Dial-up internet access
2013 Fax machine
2014 Getting "Lost"
2016 Pensions, 'gay' bar, computer mouse
2020 Copyright
2022 Blogs, spelling rules, Maldives
2023 Non-working weekends, Paris Hilton
2024 Desktop computer, AM radio
2025 Free highway / bandwidth.
2026 Lunch, FM radio, sincerity, wrinkles
2030 Keys, childhood, reality television
2033 Coins
2034 Cheap travel, Bangladesh
2035 Oil, spam, Aboriginal culture, Microsoft
2036 Petroleum-operated vehicles, addiction
2037 Glacier, natural ways to have children
2038 Wars
2039 "Excuse me", the European Union
2040 Wallets, free public places, carbon emissions, paper money, deafness
2042 Ties
2044 Future scientists
2049 Google, blindness
After 2050: Cosmetic surgery, physical pain, ugliness, death
See what's missing?
Actually what is missing is one of two things: the extinction of Islam or Western culture. I believe that the Internet will make it impossible for western societies to ignore the primitive and barbaric savagery of Islamic culture, while also making it impossible for Muslims to ignore what they consider the depravity of our way of life.
We see it today in the Cordoba Mosque controversy that Muslims do not understand or respect what Americans hold dear. No other religion would have had the audacity to poke a finger in our eye and ask, "What's the problem?" This controversy may seem only a tempest in a teapot now, but eventually with continued Muslim assaults against our way of life there will be a tsunami that no teapot will be able to contain.
Muslims are but a small minority in Europe, but already France, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland and other nations have had enough of their backwardness and have passed laws to control their dress and cultural savageries such as female vaginal mutilation, arranged marriages, minarets, and honor killings.
Unless Muslim immigration is stopped and Muslim fertility is lowered Europe will in less than two decades have so many Muslims that they will find their presence too painful to bear.
I cannot see both the West and Islam occupying the same planet by 2050. Something bad will happen before then. Something very bad.
