I remember picking up a book from my local library about 10 years ago and it was called something like "9 ways the world could end". It had some really cool concepts like the sun dying out, grey goo, running out of fuel and hostile AI etc. It was a small book about A5 or A6 size. I've tried looking for it since but couldn't find it in the library database. This video just reminded me of it.
@@DalekGarf literally all of these events have about a 0% chance to happen in our lives and basically until our bloodlines die out if we get unlucky children so I wouldn't be scared at all
Why would you need to be stressed about it? What would it changes? If you waste your entire life worrying about everything that could kill you, then why be so attached to it if its just to waste it?
I wouldn't really worry about most of the things on this list. The only things I see that are realistic dangers are climate change (which is already occurring) and nuclear war (which isn't very likely). We're quite on track to have the AMOC collapse within 30 years which, as the video mentions, would be absolutely disastrous.
Honestly I feel more relaxed after this video. The only realistic problem is climate change. Plenty of them had solutions or aren't really an extinction like dark forest or antibiotics.
What about Kessler syndrome? For anyone who doesn’t know, Kessler syndrome is a theoretical scenario where satellites collide, sending debris that collides with other satellites causing a chain reaction that destroys every satellite in orbit.
@@weeblordgaming6062 It would long term since, as the video states, if we cant make better machines/medicine that helps us survive, we'll just die out slowly as new, stronger diseases kill us off simply cause we can't make a vaccine good enough.
Now there's some recent speculation that we might actually be heading towards the "Big Crunch" instead of Heat Death with the newest DESI discovery. Oh, boy...
honestly the preferable option imo since that could theoretically lead towards a big bounce instead, where the universe's expansion reverses again to expand once again.
Gray goo happened in a Futurama episode. Bender was able to duplicate himself and every time he did, he got smaller and smaller to the point that Bender had an army of gray goo that did consume any sort of matter to continue to reproduce.

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.

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...
It’s kinda funny how we can look at MULTIPLE ways of our own kind extinction and still be “hey that’s pretty cool”, then move on to something else with not much care.
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"
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.
Whenever one your videos pops up in my recommend i always try to guess what the video is about just by looking at thumbnail, without the title. its always harder than you'd expect
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
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"
Just popped this on after smoking 2 blunts. Weirdly felt very grateful for being alive today and every day in thw past when I have been depressed and just waisting the day the universe as cold and uncaring as it may be. Still gives me so many days to live to just do stupid shit for really no reason that I can understand but it makes being here feel better.
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.
I got a campaign ad during this video, and I thought that mattered for my future, and man cutting back into global warming really gave me existential dread…
One you missed: mouse utopia, named after the experiment run in the 1960s. In it, mice had everything they ever needed to survive, and the population peaked well below what the colony could support, before the mice stopped breeding and eventually went extinct. Dave Calhoun, the scientist behind it, even said that while he studied mice, he was thinking of man.
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
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
So the thing is when you code intelligence and you make it able to think, leading to it being able to reconstruct it's code structure leading to it's primary objectives to be obsolete and enabling to do basically anything it wants. Well.l, unless humanity has a Killswitch for such scenarios like EMPs or something. But I'm not an expert so this is just personal speculation
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. Also the stock and housing market crashes in 2024 because the pandemic recession is mismanaged and actually happens in the timeline, and that sort of starts things psychologically
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.

For genetic engineering, though it isn’t accessible to the public, mirror cells would be undetectable by both humans and plants, would not be destroyed by our immune systems, and could wreak havoc on ecosystems. There’s a really interesting New York Times article about it.
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

The antibiotic crisis already has a hypothesized cure, being bacteriophages
Eventually, the bacteria get a resistance to bacteriophages, giving up their antibiotic resistance. Then you just alternate between the 2 and you're good.
@@notjebbutstillakerbal now to hope that they don’t develop resistance to both at once, or we are screwed. Hopefully this will not happen as long as we do not use both at once.

I swear, one day this channel will give us all of the necessary common knowledge compiled into a 15 hour video, making schools obsolete
Pro tip: drop out of college and watch this channel
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...
These drawings look tuff
This was really interesting to watch. Thanks for sharing!
bro people will be playing plague inc in real life in the future💀💀
But they are one of the statistical numbers that will die.
It’s kinda funny how we can look at MULTIPLE ways of our own kind extinction and still be “hey that’s pretty cool”, then move on to something else with not much care.
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"
@@Shashu_the_little_Voidling Would they even be conscious?

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.
The antibiotics one is definitely the most plausible in my opinion. Or a random super virus
Whenever one your videos pops up in my recommend i always try to guess what the video is about just by looking at thumbnail, without the title. its always harder than you'd expect
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
@@BH-2023 Very interesting! I read 3 Body Problem and did not know that!
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"
1:54 correction : Strangelets are not a particle, the strange matter is and strangelets are droplets that are made out of strange matter
Nice
Just popped this on after smoking 2 blunts.
Weirdly felt very grateful for being alive today and every day in thw past when I have been depressed and just waisting the day the universe as cold and uncaring as it may be.
Still gives me so many days to live to just do stupid shit for really no reason that I can understand but it makes being here feel better.
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.
I got a campaign ad during this video, and I thought that mattered for my future, and man cutting back into global warming really gave me existential dread…
relaxing video to fall asleep to
Transhumanism:
"From the moment I discovered the weakness of my flesh..."
Heat desth was debunked months ago, turns out the universe expands at diffrrent speeds in different places.
that still wouldn't debunk it? the universe is a closed system, and entropy still exists
One you missed: mouse utopia, named after the experiment run in the 1960s.
In it, mice had everything they ever needed to survive, and the population peaked well below what the colony could support, before the mice stopped breeding and eventually went extinct.
Dave Calhoun, the scientist behind it, even said that while he studied mice, he was thinking of man.
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
I love an existential crisis in the morning 🥰
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
So the thing is when you code intelligence and you make it able to think, leading to it being able to reconstruct it's code structure leading to it's primary objectives to be obsolete and enabling to do basically anything it wants. Well.l, unless humanity has a Killswitch for such scenarios like EMPs or something. But I'm not an expert so this is just personal speculation
1:06 "sharks kill people every month, that means we must drain all oceans of water"
So basically, if you connect a lot of people to a super computer, you could literally make a cyber planner.

We've already got it here 😅
Great video 👍
heat death is just another way to say complete equilibrium
oh Goodie! So many new plots for my Star Trek Adventures Game. Thanks!
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.
Also the stock and housing market crashes in 2024 because the pandemic recession is mismanaged and actually happens in the timeline, and that sort of starts things psychologically
thanks for that 15 years old existential crisis

Wanna know what's scarier?
None of them are mutually exclusive to one another, meaning all of them can happen simultaneously.
That would be a dick move on the universes part

Aliens have seen what we do to them when we play Mass Effect. They saw those news broadcasts about it. They definitely don't want a piece of us
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.
It will for a while
History has shown that technological bottlenecks are circumventable time and time again. There will probably be new technology to replace old tech
@@maxsmith8196We just dont know.
Everybody gangsta till scientists invent a way to ignore quantum tunneling or whatever lol.
@@SimoneBellomonte true we dont
A fine addition to my collection of existential crises thanks
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
@Theknightowl Might be, might not be
*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.

For genetic engineering, though it isn’t accessible to the public, mirror cells would be undetectable by both humans and plants, would not be destroyed by our immune systems, and could wreak havoc on ecosystems. There’s a really interesting New York Times article about it.

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
