Less than 200 years from now would be my guess.
My past estimate was about 180 years from 2009 or so when I first realized it was coming.
No longer than that though...
Maybe way sooner.
Not sure, doesn't really matter.
What I am definitely convinced of is that it's absolutely coming, and this is why we are experiencing these insanely cram-packed lives.
It will just ramp up, more and more cram-packing to absolutely insane levels before it just explodes.
Essentially the prophecy is that we will get out into space and have a lot of fun as a local space faring race for a time...
Then it's lights out for every motherfucker around.
No colonizing other planets... it'll prove a fail before this wipeout even happens. They'll realize that colonization is stupid and that local space travel, mining, etc. is really the only option.
After that, it's wiped clean... life will spring up again in 100,000 years or whatever, then it's an exponential evolutionary process and the whole thing starts again.
Slightly different every time, but always wiped the fuck out in the end.
