If you aren't aware, the last few decades of hyper industrial civilization have had far reaching impacts that we're going to be dealing with for century. For starters, antibiotic resistant bacteria is going to set us back 500 years in disease treatment, there are cancer causing microplastics in every single food and water source on Earth that can never be cleaned up, endocrine disruptors are so widespread that humans will be sterile by the end of the century, mass mental illness caused by technology addiction from young age is going to collapse society by shrinking the workforce rapidly, and our gut bacteria environment is being irreversibly disrupted by synthetic diets, causing humans to develop unprecedented levels of developmental disorders and maybe killing us off

Will humanity be able to survive this and what /sci/entific innovations are needed to prevent the end of man?
