We have little chance of surviving as a species for even a few million years.

I used to ask my students if they believed mankind would be around in a hundred
years. Nearly unanimous answer was yes. A thousand? About split. Five thousand?
Nearly unanimous answer was no.

Contrast this with certain dinosaur species, such as Apatosaurus, that spanned
nearly 10 million years in existence. Honestly, do you think mankind will still
be around 10 million years from now?

One things for sure, landmarks like "the year 2000" will seem quaint to any
people celebrating "the year 10,000,000".
