An alien entity with god-like abilities comes down to Earth...

[Techno-Druid]

It gives you five options, one of which you and every other human being on this planet will have to choose. Failure to pick one of the options will result in your death.

These choices are:

- Reverting back to a hunter-gatherer state.
- Transforming into a more ecologically friendly being (think nelfs).
- Living the rest of your life in space permanently cut off from Earth but with all the resources you'll need to live made available.
- Uploading your consciousness into a machine.
- Dying.

Which one do you choose and why?

Heck, I'll be a spacer! /Too much ME. But the options to go from there seem better than all the other alternatives.

"Show me what you got!!!"

I'd take the upload option for effective immortality.

Reverting back to a hunter-gather state and transforming into a more ecologically friendly being are the same exact thing.

[Techno-Druid]

Reverting back to a hunter-gather state and transforming into a more ecologically friendly being are the same exact thing.

Becoming a hunter-gatherer entails reverting to a primitive state, while becoming an eco-human would be the adoption of almost entirely green/environmentally friendly technology and the (genetic) modification of humans to require the least amount of resources as possible.

That's at least how I saw it.

[ItsRainingMetal]

What about option 6?

Kill the alien for phat lootz, gg ez.

[Khaza-R]

Very strange options.

I guess I'd pick eco-human.

Space would be depressing and uploading your consciousness is sci-fi bullshit so that's really the only viable option imo.

This boss gives no loot, so you'll never be able to form a group to kill him.

[Machismo]

The answer is simple, if someone threatened that, I would kill them. I am God, so it would be rather easy for me to do. Problem solved. You're welcome, planet.

Aren't option 1 and 2 the same?

[Flarelaine]

Aren't option 1 and 2 the same?

No. Being ecologically friendly can be achieved by advancing technology - renewable energy is a good start.

[Independent voter]

If I was close to dying or getting dementia I'd pick

"Uploading your consciousness into a machine."

[Arrashi]

I would tell it to get a real job.

Alien comes down to Earth takes one look at the current state of the United States -- declares the planet too primitive to be of worth, and returns to its home world.

This is more likely than any of the available options. The Earth's population will end up destroying itself anyways.

Let's hope that with its great power also comes great responsibility.

Otherwise, you are right and we are fucked.
