dinosaurs existed for a shitload longer than humanity has (and probably will) and we don't feel the affect of them, other than in museums and in the cinema.

They didn't develop their brains as we did, I think
and you don't know for how much longer humanity is going to be here (or somewhere else)

I strongly suspect it won't be as long as the dinosaurs were around
unless something unpredictable happens. Unfortunately the unpredictable is weighted heavily in favour of something happening that will fuck us over.

Well, the way I see it
Dinosaurs were here a lot longer than us, however, they didn't achieve a tiny fraction of what we have. The reason we move forwards is a collective achievment. There are some bright heads and brave hearts that we remember more, but the environment were they grow up, the other insignificant people around them, made them what they were.

I don't think we're as fucked as some people want us to believe. I think we have time to change and improve things.
