That is the great unknown. I’ve never seen anything resembling an estimate of the minimum population and distribution of humans needed to sustainably maintain a technologically advanced system. There are some estimates of world and regional populations when we were all hunter-gatherers. Then, there is the possibility that the number will reach zero.

I think that there is a certain narcissism that comes from consciousness. Just like you can’t really imagine really big numbers, you can’t imagine a world without yourself or human kind in it. In fact, you can’t really imagine a world without our current level of technology.

Exactly. That’s the source of the nearly universal belief in an afterlife. And, it really is rather narcissistic for a species of animal to go about thinking they are separate from nature and their environment. In a way, that is a possible interpretation of the myth of the fall and expulsion from Eden.
