You could either announce your presence or remain silent. Announcing yourself would give them an opportunity to fire at you, potentially killing you.

@@colorfulsouls4050 I am very well aware of how nuclear bombs work in space, and several nuclear bombs can vaporize enough material off a medium sized asteroid or comet to redirect it. If you want to redirect anything bigger you are going to have to alter its orbit likely years in advance or require an equally enormous amount of energy to accelerate the impactor, something that gets worse the bigger the object and the more drastic the orbital change. Now maybe I am simply confused here, but I assume you are talking in timescales likely several hundred years into the future and not something short-term, as using an asteroid as a weapon is kinda like using a nuclear bomb which both you and your enemy knows is going to go off several months or years in advance of it actually doing so.
@@colorfulsouls4050 the other guy is right, your idea is too slow, especially when 500 megatonnes nukes exist, wich can be set, launched and destroy their targets in less than 15 min. This is our best way to destroy a planet. Ours.
Watching these as a teenager, I often wondered at the thought of running my own value-driven channel like this one.

That's the impact of these masterpieces for me - they expand your horizons and make you seek value within your own self, so thank you for that! :)
Fun Fact: Three Body Problem actually adapted this from real life Nuclear Weapons Policies, which was derived from Game Theory (specifically work done by J. F. Nash of Nash Equilibrium fame). Essentially, every country that has nuclear weapons is made aware of everyone else's "nuclear option/strategy" and vice versa, ensuring that each country has the optimal nuclear option in case of nuclear war. Because of this, no one uses their nuclear weapons because doing so would ensure their own destruction

4:03 tasty planet dinotime cameo and i dont see a single comment on it?! i didnt scroll nearly far enough to check properly but who cares its yt comments
Transhumanism is the most scary to me because not only is it more realistic than some other options, it makes me think of some dystopian setting where the population lives in a digital world, unaware of the atrocities their government is committing in the real world.
You could also add a Carrington Event type phenomenon to the list. Massive solar flare that EMPs half the earth. Probably wouldn't lead to an "extinction" per se, but the electrical grid being down for that long could be catastrophic.
I for one am glad that at least we know all the possible reasons, and that there's no way it could be possible that a reason might be on this list that no human has even considered...
Like how global warming to massive asteroid is like "everything will die a slow and painfull death inevitably once we hit a tipping point" to "big rock go smash"
Antibiotics can be countered by Bacteriophages, it has been seen to kill and target only Bacterias, but right now its being tested to see if its safe for commercial use
This may not be extinction causing, but may be pretty close. There has been talk of the echo chamber affect radicalizing people so much that all government institutions crumble. This would cause the electrical grid to go down, potential nuclear apocalypse, complete change in ecosystems if farm animals are not handle correctly and if people cannot adapt to growing food without the technology we currently have.
@@clonecommandermike332 not quite sure if that is sarcasm, but I understand if it is. The concept of centrism won’t exactly unify people or fix ongoing issues. I would argue that what we really need are people that have committed productive viewpoints on what we can do to change the world for the better, and they should reach out to others from all sides of each issue for genuinely real conversation that can hopefully unify the population more (even if it doesn’t exactly get the public figureheads that are being spoken to to agree)
Technology won't keep getting better forever. We're already reaching Moore's limit where the transistors are approaching the nanometer size that can't get any smaller because of quantum tunnelling.

The Dark Forest makes a lot of sense because there is no way I can think of we can communicate with them, simply blinking might be considered an act of war to them and boom were dead or boom there dead so the only thing they can do is hide
call me crazy, but I would assume aliens would be pretty similar to us. I would recon they could even have 2 eyes and 4 limbs just like us. 2 eyes and 4 limbs seems to be the most efficient amount so it could be very likely. They would need a way to manipulate objects aswell. This could come in a large range of possibilities as something as strange as an elephant trunk could suffice. Us humans have had amazing luck in this category as we have 5 opposable fingers that were evolved for grabbing things. Aliens would almost definitely be social and would carry the side effects of that. Aliens would be social because learning behaviors through other group members is key to intelligence. Look at every intelligent species on this planet they’re all social. Aliens would definitely be empathetic to humanity even today as we are to animals on this planet. They would especially recognize we aren’t just as ants as we stand out from other low organisms.
@@thecaski8239 I agree with that however they also see we kill millions of people over dirt so there's a good reason to think were aggressive and because neither us or the aliens know how to communicate to each other the best thing to do is just hide
*FACEPALM* Have you ever actually bothered to read properly DF's origins (it is a Sci-Fi) It doesn't mean it is act of war, but thanks to someone removed FTL, which only complicates error editing and info updates, every side are "F I DON'T WANT TO WAIT ANYMORE JUST BLOW IT UP" and thus the fic got gritty.
Tbf I don't think antibiotic crisis would be the end of us, it doesn't make bacteria stronger, only more resistant. We survived in the past with no antibiotics, even if minor infections could belethal, plenty of people may never have an infection in their life. Mortality rate would go up but I don't see how it'd cause an extinction. You can still survive infections naturally and preventive measures would just be more important. Probably ear infections would be the worst?
About the antibiotic crisis, there may be an elegant solution. WARNING! I am not an expert, and am basing it off of my current biological knowledge. Some words might be incorrect as English isn't my first language. So, AFAIK, if bacteria want to get more resistant to a certain strain of antibiotics, they can adapt, but also have to create a second phospholipid barrier after their cellular wall. For some clarity, it goes inside of a cell -> phospholipid barrier (all cells have this) -> cellular wall (only animal cells lack this). The added layer protects them from antibiotics BUT makes them more susceptible to a certain type of virus. Enter Bacteriophages, Phages from now on since it's long and I don't want to type that. These little buggers are amazing, since if antibiotics are like a bombardment, hurting friend and foe, then phages are like direct missiles, hurting only the invaders. Each type of phage is built to handle and attack a certain type of bacteria and maybe it's close cousins and as far as we know, they won't target any larger cells (like the ones in the human body). Their main problem is the fact that the cellular wall prevents them from injecting their genetic material into the bacterium, but when there is a second phospholipid layer, that wall isn't a problem. This means we can theoretically catch bacterial infections in a closed loop. Once they get resistant to antibiotics, we switch to Bacteriophages. Then, back to antibiotics when the phages stop being effective. I AM NOT AN EXPERT, and am eager to hear criticism as well as any additional information on this subject.
nope. artificial intelligence, like the name suggests, is artificial (wow). transferring your intelligence to a computer wouldnt make it artificial, now would it?
AI as we know it is not that at all. In fact, there are complaints that current ai is just linear algebra. Digitized consciousness is far far far more sophisticated than AI as it is, effectively, ai at the human limit.
If we simulate human brain as in simulating neurons that's artifical brain since its simulating neurons artificaly and from brain we get Intelligence that's means that that is artifical Intelligence
Futurama already taught me what a human vs robot world would look like. Also, genetically engineering is basically why we have Africanized Honey Bees and those are scary enough!
Another one would be Tribalism-fueled mutual destruction: Partisan politics gets so bad that it effectively causes people to group together with like-minded people, in which paranoia towards “outsiders” drives to inbreeding/sterility as well as mutual destruction of all life simultaneously. It’s effectively the endgame of geopolitics, where humanity dies out because we can’t see past our own biases.
Dude transhumanism could get even weirder if we combine it with the dark forest. An example would be aliens coming to earth and modifying us. Like in all tomorrows.
3:10 I am working on a dystopia where the great transition is rushed and cuts everything, partly due to bloated anti-mining-growth (just the growth) anti-oil-funding sentiment which causes everyone to gradually run out of materials and lithium and low on food.

Life doesn't convert all basic matter into components, grey goo does. Life has requirements on which materials they can use as fuel, and the ability to feel "full".
@@TSAdu life converts all _possible_ matter into more life Grey Goo would never actually work because not all matter is optimal for creating life, not to mention that Grey Goo doesn't have a survival strategy, immune system, and the method for Grey Goo reproduction would most definitely be more cumbersome, inefficient, and primitive compared to life which uses a genetic code. Most importantly, life is far more energy efficient than any nanomachinery or computers we've developed. The only reason why supercomputers are possible is because humans have discovered vast supplies of energy resources. But once those resources are exhausted, machine life would die with it. Life on the other hand is cyclical and dies, allowing energy to circulate through the system instead of endlessly consuming and growing, which is unsustainable. Humanity could take a lesson from the circle of life playbook and reform our economic system to work in cycles (aka degrowth) rather than be based on unsustainable infinite growth. Tldr: Life is more advanced than Grey Goo
@Brambrew "not all matter is optimal for creating life" ... exactly. That's literally why grey goo is better lmao. Grey goo is literally defined as being able to convert *all* matter into itself
I always thought it was stupid when people would talk about robots taking over the world as someone who did a lot of coding anything that can be considered a robot has to follow code and unless that code is specifically stated to actually take over the world it wouldn’t happen but the situation you described actually makes sense, if a robot let’s say is meant to gather resources they could in turn take all the resources from humans therefore basically controlling the planet without even wanting to
7:20 because I think it’s worth clarifying: molecule for molecule, methane is more potent as a greenhouse gas. 1 ton of methane would have the same warming effect over 20 years as 84.1 (+/-2.9) tons of CO2.

This is Humanity's first planet killer and the first planetary defense system. We also achieved this from 6.8 MILLION miles away from earth and we really seriously need to stop going for the nuclear option all the time lol
@@CarlosAM1it really is, seems my reply was deleted but basically to not have to explain it all
Nukes don't work in space like you think they do, yes the DART can redirect the asteroid into earth or redirect to hit a bigger asteroid and have that one go for earth
I had posted the details, speed, and kinetic energy utilized but again, it seems someone got mad at facts and truth
You can't solve everything with nukes 😂
@@colorfulsouls4050 I am very well aware of how nuclear bombs work in space, and several nuclear bombs can vaporize enough material off a medium sized asteroid or comet to redirect it.
If you want to redirect anything bigger you are going to have to alter its orbit likely years in advance or require an equally enormous amount of energy to accelerate the impactor, something that gets worse the bigger the object and the more drastic the orbital change.
Now maybe I am simply confused here, but I assume you are talking in timescales likely several hundred years into the future and not something short-term, as using an asteroid as a weapon is kinda like using a nuclear bomb which both you and your enemy knows is going to go off several months or years in advance of it actually doing so.
@@colorfulsouls4050 the other guy is right, your idea is too slow, especially when 500 megatonnes nukes exist, wich can be set, launched and destroy their targets in less than 15 min. This is our best way to destroy a planet. Ours.

Watching these as a teenager, I often wondered at the thought of running my own value-driven channel like this one. After a long fascination with animation, I took up the challenge of finally building my own animated storytelling channel, and around 90h of strenuous work finally produced my first ever video just the other day. That's the impact of these masterpieces for me - they expand your horizons and make you seek value within your own self, so thank you for that! :)
How about Every Natural Disaster?

0:00 Three body problem reference. If you attack someone, you also create a target on your back too due to hostility and location.
Where is 2d collapse of the solar system in here? (Deaths End)
Fun Fact: Three Body Problem actually adapted this from real life Nuclear Weapons Policies, which was derived from Game Theory (specifically work done by J. F. Nash of Nash Equilibrium fame). Essentially, every country that has nuclear weapons is made aware of everyone else's "nuclear option/strategy" and vice versa, ensuring that each country has the optimal nuclear option in case of nuclear war. Because of this, no one uses their nuclear weapons because doing so would ensure their own destruction

Alright... singularity...a hose, just use a hose, find where the servers are, and flood them
Literally 👌
Except it doesn't need to be in the same place. Spread out over the earth? Inside human heads?
Would singularity be that bad tho? Sure humans as a biological species of apes would be gone, but the AI would be our child, a continuation of our consciousness that far transcends what we'd ever hope to be capable of. The path towards godhood continues, just in a different form.
Yeah, but if they've grown intelligent beyond a point we can undestand, then they wouldn't have servers, would they?All of these scenarios are hypotheticals of "What if there was nothing we could do to stop it", not "how would you stop this"

Transhumanism is the most scary to me because not only is it more realistic than some other options, it makes me think of some dystopian setting where the population lives in a digital world, unaware of the atrocities their government is committing in the real world.
Wait a minute... where have I heard this one before...
You could also add a Carrington Event type phenomenon to the list. Massive solar flare that EMPs half the earth. Probably wouldn't lead to an "extinction" per se, but the electrical grid being down for that long could be catastrophic.

Like how global warming to massive asteroid is like "everything will die a slow and painfull death inevitably once we hit a tipping point" to "big rock go smash"
Antibiotics can be countered by Bacteriophages, it has been seen to kill and target only Bacterias, but right now its being tested to see if its safe for commercial use
This may not be extinction causing, but may be pretty close. There has been talk of the echo chamber affect radicalizing people so much that all government institutions crumble. This would cause the electrical grid to go down, potential nuclear apocalypse, complete change in ecosystems if farm animals are not handle correctly and if people cannot adapt to growing food without the technology we currently have.
Save the world, become a centrist
@@clonecommandermike332 not quite sure if that is sarcasm, but I understand if it is. The concept of centrism won’t exactly unify people or fix ongoing issues.
I would argue that what we really need are people that have committed productive viewpoints on what we can do to change the world for the better, and they should reach out to others from all sides of each issue for genuinely real conversation that can hopefully unify the population more (even if it doesn’t exactly get the public figureheads that are being spoken to to agree)

This is going to give kids trama like what they did when they told us that in 1 million years, the sun will explode.
The Dark Forest makes a lot of sense because there is no way I can think of we can communicate with them, simply blinking might be considered an act of war to them and boom were dead or boom there dead so the only thing they can do is hide
call me crazy, but I would assume aliens would be pretty similar to us. I would recon they could even have 2 eyes and 4 limbs just like us. 2 eyes and 4 limbs seems to be the most efficient amount so it could be very likely. They would need a way to manipulate objects aswell. This could come in a large range of possibilities as something as strange as an elephant trunk could suffice. Us humans have had amazing luck in this category as we have 5 opposable fingers that were evolved for grabbing things. Aliens would almost definitely be social and would carry the side effects of that. Aliens would be social because learning behaviors through other group members is key to intelligence. Look at every intelligent species on this planet they’re all social. Aliens would definitely be empathetic to humanity even today as we are to animals on this planet. They would especially recognize we aren’t just as ants as we stand out from other low organisms.
@@thecaski8239 I agree with that however they also see we kill millions of people over dirt so there's a good reason to think were aggressive and because neither us or the aliens know how to communicate to each other the best thing to do is just hide

@@explosivemodesonicmauricet1597 I havent because I dont read many books, but that's sci fi, irl could be a lot different
Tbf I don't think antibiotic crisis would be the end of us, it doesn't make bacteria stronger, only more resistant. We survived in the past with no antibiotics, even if minor infections could belethal, plenty of people may never have an infection in their life. Mortality rate would go up but I don't see how it'd cause an extinction. You can still survive infections naturally and preventive measures would just be more important. Probably ear infections would be the worst?
Generally, we dont want more people to die if we can help it.
@@logickedmazimoon6001 well yes, but the point was that its an extinction event which antibiotic crisis is not.
Another masterpiece✨️
About the antibiotic crisis, there may be an elegant solution.
WARNING! I am not an expert, and am basing it off of my current biological knowledge. Some words might be incorrect as English isn't my first language.
So, AFAIK, if bacteria want to get more resistant to a certain strain of antibiotics, they can adapt, but also have to create a second phospholipid barrier after their cellular wall. For some clarity, it goes inside of a cell -> phospholipid barrier (all cells have this) -> cellular wall (only animal cells lack this). The added layer protects them from antibiotics BUT makes them more susceptible to a certain type of virus. Enter Bacteriophages, Phages from now on since it's long and I don't want to type that. These little buggers are amazing, since if antibiotics are like a bombardment, hurting friend and foe, then phages are like direct missiles, hurting only the invaders. Each type of phage is built to handle and attack a certain type of bacteria and maybe it's close cousins and as far as we know, they won't target any larger cells (like the ones in the human body). Their main problem is the fact that the cellular wall prevents them from injecting their genetic material into the bacterium, but when there is a second phospholipid layer, that wall isn't a problem.
This means we can theoretically catch bacterial infections in a closed loop. Once they get resistant to antibiotics, we switch to Bacteriophages. Then, back to antibiotics when the phages stop being effective.
I AM NOT AN EXPERT, and am eager to hear criticism as well as any additional information on this subject.
9:18 well that's litraly artifical intelligence
That's not Artificial anymore
That's just intelligencs
nope. artificial intelligence, like the name suggests, is artificial (wow). transferring your intelligence to a computer wouldnt make it artificial, now would it?
AI as we know it is not that at all. In fact, there are complaints that current ai is just linear algebra. Digitized consciousness is far far far more sophisticated than AI as it is, effectively, ai at the human limit.
It's not artificial as it is not a fake intelligence. It's a real human
If we simulate human brain as in simulating neurons that's artifical brain since its simulating neurons artificaly and from brain we get Intelligence that's means that that is artifical Intelligence
Futurama already taught me what a human vs robot world would look like. Also, genetically engineering is basically why we have Africanized Honey Bees and those are scary enough!
Another one would be Tribalism-fueled mutual destruction:
Partisan politics gets so bad that it effectively causes people to group together with like-minded people, in which paranoia towards “outsiders” drives to inbreeding/sterility as well as mutual destruction of all life simultaneously. It’s effectively the endgame of geopolitics, where humanity dies out because we can’t see past our own biases.
This one is likely the most probable scenario, where we all get Spanish Hapsburg’ed
I hate how plausible that sounds. I hope at that point, we’d eventually turn away from that.
Influencers be acting like all of these will happen within the next 50 years.

Dude transhumanism could get even weirder if we combine it with the dark forest. An example would be aliens coming to earth and modifying us. Like in all tomorrows.
3:10 I am working on a dystopia where the great transition is rushed and cuts everything, partly due to bloated anti-mining-growth (just the growth) anti-oil-funding sentiment which causes everyone to gradually run out of materials and lithium and low on food.

So you're telling me grey goo is a mini machine designed to consume matter and self-replicate?
Oh, we've already got that. It's called "life".
Life doesn't convert all basic matter into components, grey goo does. Life has requirements on which materials they can use as fuel, and the ability to feel "full".
@@TSAdu life converts all _possible_ matter into more life
Grey Goo would never actually work because not all matter is optimal for creating life, not to mention that Grey Goo doesn't have a survival strategy, immune system, and the method for Grey Goo reproduction would most definitely be more cumbersome, inefficient, and primitive compared to life which uses a genetic code.
Most importantly, life is far more energy efficient than any nanomachinery or computers we've developed. The only reason why supercomputers are possible is because humans have discovered vast supplies of energy resources. But once those resources are exhausted, machine life would die with it.
Life on the other hand is cyclical and dies, allowing energy to circulate through the system instead of endlessly consuming and growing, which is unsustainable. Humanity could take a lesson from the circle of life playbook and reform our economic system to work in cycles (aka degrowth) rather than be based on unsustainable infinite growth.
Tldr: Life is more advanced than Grey Goo
@Brambrew "not all matter is optimal for creating life" ... exactly. That's literally why grey goo is better lmao. Grey goo is literally defined as being able to convert *all* matter into itself
I always thought it was stupid when people would talk about robots taking over the world as someone who did a lot of coding anything that can be considered a robot has to follow code and unless that code is specifically stated to actually take over the world it wouldn’t happen but the situation you described actually makes sense, if a robot let’s say is meant to gather resources they could in turn take all the resources from humans therefore basically controlling the planet without even wanting to

7:20 because I think it’s worth clarifying: molecule for molecule, methane is more potent as a greenhouse gas. 1 ton of methane would have the same warming effect over 20 years as 84.1 (+/-2.9) tons of CO2. That said, we produce 34 *Billion* tons of CO2 A YEAR and only ~570 million tons of Methane a year (roughly. Estimates vary widely.)
