To be honest, I have never thought of "stagnation" as the way the human
race would end. Just not likely, in my view. We may evolve into
unrecognizable forms, and thus "die" in that sense, but I don't think
that would be an Apocalypse.
As a wise man once said: "The universe is not indifferent to
intelligence, it is actively hostile to it."
