Well yes, human life on this planet will eventually die out. And the planet will be consumed when the Sun becomes a red giant at some point in the future. As a species we are not well adjusted to deep time perspectives.
Most people are fairly normal really most of the time. I think we tend, as a species, to interface better in small groups with face to face communication.
