I think we're vastly more likely to destroy ourselves with resource depletion as opposed to the paranoid "dark forest" outcome from three body problem. I wouldn't be surprised if we get to "oh, hey. What's up?" as far as alien communication and that's it.


What resource’s depletion do you imagine is going to do us in?

I’m somewhat skeptical of climate change causing a civilization ending process, yet I find that vastly more likely than us running out of something.


Breathable air, drinkable water, arable land -- something like that which is probably preceded by severe climate change and ecological collapse.
