Mistakes, we all make them. But today, we want to know which mistake we are making right now that future generations will most judge us for.

Will it be the lack of a kill-switch embedded in our robo-tech that future generations regret? Or perhaps they’ll wish we’d pushed further with our space program? Or maybe they’ll just be standing around our singed husk of a planet (in a protective helmet, so as not to inhale the toxic fumes) thinking, “Man, I wish my great-great-great-great grandparents had cooled it with the carbon dioxide emissions back in 2013.”

Give us your take in the comments now.
