I find it hilarious to watch so many of today's anti-Jew promoters try deny that Hitler and his people exterminated so many Jews, while at the same time these anti-Jew promoters yearn in their deepest souls to be able perform this same extermination themselves.
Actually, I agree with you that it's more likely not to be total extinction, and instead, just a very high percentage of humans being gone.
The folks surviving won't hang on because of any greater genetically-driven intelligence, but just because of dumb luck. So I also agree that the next round is just as likely to fail.
Anyone who brings children into the world and refuses to devote a large amount of time and effort to teach them critical thinking skills and methods for separating facts from lies, knee-jerk emotionalism, and delusion is hastening the demise of most of the human race.
It's not a hoax, because it's not meant to be believed. It's just a short dystopian sci-fi piece.
It's no more of a hoax than movies such as Soylent Green. It's just a lot more low-budget.
That having been said, I personally don't think that the human race has much of a chance for long-term survival ... although I think that 2027 is way too soon for our final demise.
On the whole, the human race has a very hard time distinguishing facts from fantasies, delusions, and lies, and only a small minority of humans have reasonable critical thinking skills.
We are creating systems which are more and more complicated and more and more dangerous, and which are decreasingly fault tolerant. This means that we need greater and greater application of logic and rational thinking in order to keep these systems from failing.
But given that humanity's thinking abilities are not improving, the chances of dangerous and lethal catastrophes keep increasing.
I give the human race a few hundred years at most, and much less in the worst case.

This must be a new definition of "Occam's Razor".

Given how far Trump deviated from traditional Republican values, he is the true Republican In Name Only.
