Reply to doomsday clock real or fake? by Ludwik2006
It's real - in that - there is a doomsday clock. It exists and yes this year it is the closest it's ever been to "doomsday" at 90 seconds, but ultimately it's an entirely arbitrary system.
It could tick down to 1 second to Doomsday and stay there in perpetuity. Meaningless. If it started in 1947 and has bounced back and forth with its predictions ever since - it is entirely meaningless.
Frankly I think if the global pandemic didn't somehow set it to closest to doomsday ever I don't understand how it is now.

I have never heard AI labeled humanity as parasitic. Fascinating!
Not a pretty picture you paint, but it does sound unnervingly accurate

It is kinda crazy how little control - and even defense we have against mother nature.

WOW parasitic humans. That's a new concept for me. Appreciate you sharing it. I'll be contemplating deeply.

Yep. Makes sense. Fair enough.
I like to think we're just around the corner from any amount of significant progress in space travel to distances beyond our next door neighbors, but I am losing hope.

You think global warming will end humanity and then the temps will regulate?
