Been giving this some thought lately, and I think the worst fear we have is that we are all alone in the universe. That there would be no one else, no others species, no higher beings, no nothing. That we are all alone in this huge place.

which would equate to, what i believe is the biggest fear, that life has no meaning.

Mankinds worst fear: all computers crash and no one will be able to play RTW anymore. "duh"
But seriously, wouldn't it be nice to actually know that there is no one else in the universe so we don't have to wonder about it anymore?

Its worst fear is being totally obliterated from the universe.

Errr, I don't agree at all... so what if we are alone? I'm having fun here on this planet so I don't care!!!

i think man's greatest fear is death, or lack of life. almost every culture has a myth about the afterlife of some sort, to ease the pain of death
What were you doing in Iraq?its just my opinion i was in iraq he made stupid moves
I think mankind's worst fear is that when we die, we don't exist anymore, that there is no meaning, like Pyrrus said.

yeah, but also pain... some people might be able to accept death if it's not too painful. Like instead of lying on the ground with your guts pouring out of your stomach and screaming for 2 hours you get a quick headshot.

Or maybe our biggest fear is that we aren't alone.
That there are load of other species
But that we are the most stupid of all.

Bla Bla Bla, that's a so overused clichéBut that we are the most stupid of all.
Or maybe the other species are really stupid and eat their own fecies? just a thought

Mankinds biggest fear is annhilation. Either from some strange alien force or ourselves.

Bingo. Death is our biggest fear, individually, and as a society. It is not true that humans are the only species in the planet that are completely aware of their coming death, as the norm says.
Yes, we are well aware that our physical death will eventually come to pass, but we as humans still cling on to the ideal that our soul will continue on forever and that it will take on another form of being in the after-life. As stated above, this is the reason for most of religion's explanations of what happens after our physical death. Most humans cannot accept the fact that their mental form will not survive death.
All in all, I think we are all just organic material that is awaiting to die, desintegrate, and reform into another kind of organic material. But it all depends on what side of reality you are on.

Yeah, Siblesz, but did you ever wonder if you're really "alive"? I think the greatest human fear is to not know. Not know anything about life, universe, and that "higher something" that holds balance in the same universe, creating something from nothing, mysterious circles of space and time etc. Well, at least I know that's MY greatest fear.
My worst fear is losing a certain someone.

Would that certain someone be concerned with a particular individual named Siblesz? *cough cough*

Being forgotten and no longer existing, at least in my opinion. Thats why every successful religion has some sort of positive continuty after death.
