Life On Earth Endangered By A New strain of fact-resistant humans
Could The End Of The World Be Close?
For many decades, scientists have been warning the world about the threat of life on planet earth. Most of them agree the following factors pose a serious threat to the Earth’s ability to sustain life:
- population growth
- deforestation
- unsustainable agriculture
- overuse of non renewable energy
- decreasing bio diversity (species extinction)
Most of these factors contribute to the so called global climate warming.
Furthermore, scientists have recently discovered a powerful new strain of fact-resistant humans who might be more dangerous than the previous listed factors and also constitute a threat to the ability of Earth to sustain life. How long could the Earth still stand given all these threats? Will life on earth still be possible with this latest discovery?

“These humans appear to have all the faculties necessary to receive and process information,” Davis Logsdon, one of the scientists who contributed to the study, said. “And yet, somehow, they have developed defenses that, for all intents and purposes, have rendered those faculties totally inactive.”

More worryingly, Logsdon said, “As facts have multiplied, their defenses against those facts have only grown more powerful.”
While scientists have no clear understanding of the mechanisms that prevent the fact-resistant humans from absorbing data, they theorize that the strain may have developed the ability to intercept and discard information en route from the auditory nerve to the brain. “The normal functions of human consciousness have been completely nullified,” Logsdon said.
