The 4 greatest threats to the survival of humanity
Рет қаралды 489,693
Жыл бұрынDig into the 4 biggest existential risks that threaten the survival of humanity, and explore how we can safeguard our future.
--
With the invention of the atomic bomb, humanity gained the power to destroy itself for the first time in our history. Since then, our risk of either extinction or the collapse of civilization has steadily increased. Just how likely are we to destroy ourselves? And what poses the greatest threat to our survival? Dig into four existential threats and explore how we can safeguard our future.

The world population went from 1 billion in 1800 to almost 8 billion now. Of course, that will change a lot of things. But we as humans are incapable of controlling our populations and people who invent things from looking ahead to see what the long term affects will be. If they even care, it's all about money and greed. We all only think about today right now! The human race is only capable of seeing a few years ahead if that. Plus, we keep sending food and building in places where that human population should not be, or the population should not be that high. Then we go to war over things that will not move the human race forward it just drags us back into the past. The human race might not deserve to survive as species. A guy told me once we are the most intelligent being on this planet. I said he was wrong. WE ARE THE MOST CLEVER. We are not that intelligent. We can't even manage our populations, food, water, and energy resources properly. We just figure ways around (Natural Forces of Nature) a problem that concerns us right now, not thinking of the pros and cons for the near or distant future. Thats because we haven't evolved enough out of our inherently primitive and archaic survival instincts. If you read about human behavior, we are still using our basic animal instincts to survive on a daily basis that we have been using for the last 1 billion years or so. We haven't changed that much since then. We just have learned to make and use tools without a proper teacher to show how to use them properly or if those tools should even be made.

i suppose it depends. technically not, because they don‘t have the same structural/evolutionary shortcuts that tend to get human reasoning messed up. But in reality, every AI is trained by humans, and though it would in theory be possible to train AI to notice & point out human errors (not now, but still), we have no way to know whether the AI wouldn‘t just use the same fallacies as we do (especially if we don’t know about them). It’s also possible that it would not be able to separate situations where fallacies are useful to us versus from where they are a bother. If AI advances beyond human intelligence (which will most likely happen), then we will not, or barely, check on the accuracy behind it‘s reasoning anyway.

Human brains barely get the grasp of huge numbers, 8 billion people is an absolute massive amount (to get along/align with). The difference between a millionaire and a billionaire is enormous, as another example.

To be honest while a lot of this is indeed human action, I feel like a lot of it can be traced back to governments more than any single person. Take the U.S. for example and its capitalist market, in which it is wonderful to be able to be free in what you want to sell and the like. It cannot be said however that a lot of questionable morally and ethically charged decisions have been made due to it. Given in comparison to other countries that have dialed back their use of fossil fuels in favor of renewable energy sources. Coal and oil companies have lobbied hard within the government, along with creating smear campaigns to dissuade the public from being more open to renewable energy sources. Which means emissions have continued to go up instead of down in comparison to other countries. Then globally speaking governments, especially the Russian, U.S, Chinese and North Korean are working hard to make that next big thing that goes bang. Which furthers the issue of potential global catastrophe due to nuclear weapons, or something potentially far worse and more power if one happens to make something that is better. I feel the majority of the issues that we face can be traced back to the small individuals that happen to be in a position of power, or have a throne made of money that gives them power. That are more concerned about staying in power, or continuing to grow their capital gains. At whatever cost necessary, even to the determent of our planet and potential future as technology advances.

@@bitcoinzoomer9994 I mean that's simply not true for the case of the U.S., there are companies that are still lobbying hard.

well, the history of life on Earth tells us that despite global catastrophic events, life has always found a way through and has revived and healed itself. So, wiping out all lifeforms has been an impossibility so far. But global catastrophes can send the humans back to stone age. All of our progress and achievements can get lost if a catastrophe happens. We will have to begin everything from the start, that's a major threat.

I hope we will. Like we literally has a society who treats lower end job workers as sub-human, to the point of saying they must work far more hours than a "normal" job (to the point they might need 3 to live paycheck to paycheck), where wage theft is OK to the point it is THE most done crime that is the LEAST went after. Then people gaslight others in saying well if you only gotten a degree then you wouldn't be in that, but then get PO when they find out you have a degree but still can't get a good job.
