Actually about 7% of those that have tried it are still alive and well! ๐ (Our current global population represents about 7% of all humans that have ever lived)
I feel like that number is slowly creeping toward 0%. Maybe it'll take a billion years, but I bet it'll get there.
if we never get to expand beyond earth or are exterminated then yes but without any of those limiting factors the percentage would probably stay the same because exponential growth
Read my comment again. I said "without any limiting factors". What you are describing are limiting factors.
