It's also a mystery that could kill the human species eventually, if they don't kill each other first. Earth has very limited resources as our populations steadily increase. Eventually, Earth will be completely overcrowded and it's resources depleted. If the human race doesn't start cracking some of those mysteries, the human race will be doomed within the next thousand years or so.

There's no data to support that.

While this bet does not prove anything about future price trends, it does show that nobody has 20/20 vision when it comes to predicting the future.

Even if the earth had unlimited resources, (which it doesn't) it is still doomed at some point in the future, as even earth's closest star, our sun has limited resources and will be depleted one day, or supernova etc. This is a fact.

As I stated earlier, if the human species plans on surviving in the distant future, they had better start planning now.

Even the famous prophets don't think that far ahead. A millenium is about the limit.
