long before we may ever be under threat from an AI that might desire to destroy humanity, we should be more worried about the many people who would like to take over the world using robot warfare that would be more than happy to pretend that those robots are autonomous. every year we see millions fooled into believing something is autonomous that is purely acting within the robust parameters it was given via programming.
This type of content is the reason yt totally beats television for me. Impressively researched and communicated. I would have loved to learn about this kind of stuff in high school.
I came over here on a link from Veritasium and I'm very glad I did. Nice, well-presented scenarios with no wailing and scary music or shouted warnings. You and Derek are very similar in temperament it seems and also in your integrity. You have a new subscriber.

If we see one with only a few days warning, then there's not much we can do at all. with maybe 10-15 years of headway, we could theoretically do something about it if we put in all our efforts into it. but presently in the moment, we wouldn't be able to do much.
It is all down to the size and when you detect it. The lager it is the harder it is to deflect. The early you detect it the easier it is to get out there and nudge it as you need less effort to do so. Personally I think that a Gravity tractor is the best option. But that really relays on you finding and getting there early. A gravity tractor is when you place a probe close to the asteroid and try to change it orbit with it gravitational pull. Since most asteroid are gravel and spin it hard just to go out there and push or trying to blow it up as shown in the Dereks video. Even covering it with foil might not help if it spins to much.
@@livethefuture2492 >"we could theoretically do something about it _if we put in all our efforts into it."_ And therein lies the problem. Think of all the political deadlock that would be caused by an attempt to spend the resources necessary to undertake that action. It wouldn't be as bad as global warming, since fixing that directly damages industries that already exist, but still, even just a few years of politicians squabbling over how many trillions of dollars to spend on this project and trying to exert their personal wills over it in order to gain political capital would be the end of us. Honestly, with how humans behave in general, I think easily preventable disasters that will take long-term effort to prevent are far more dangerous than short-term disasters that take Herculean, but short-term effort to prevent.
would love to see a third variable considered. "what can we do about it?" So we can focus on the things that are the most likely, most dangerous, and most easy to change.
Hate to be "that guy" but there is no stopping it. There are too many people on this planet, it's inevitable. At the end of the day it's just rolling the dice on the event that destroys humanity. Live everyday like it's your last, this world is a crazy place 😳

I think this is a marvelous presentation. And I agree with your final comments.

For example, multiple earthquakes, social revolutions, forest fires, drought, pandemics, etc...

well think about it like this, if the universe ended tomorrow, you wouldn't have to worry about going to school/work, or really worry about life at all, you could do whatever you want! sometimes i realize how much of a hassle living really is, i mean all the effort into just keeping your life going on, sometime you just hope its all worth something in the end. oh well, hopefully, I'll be able to contribute to our scientific progress in some way till the end of my life.
THANK YOU! While i like being informed, I love your DELIVERY of the information, it seems as though I am having a talk with a friend. It allows me to transfer the information to others.
Your videos have truly helped me make maps and graphs and truly learn things efficiently. I really want to thank you for that. I hope you never stop posting and disappear, because I've recommended your channel to many of my friends. You will gain a million subscribers soon for sure.👍
I'm from Derek's video, teehee. It is an astonishing map that allows me to think about where I am and that I am in a TOTAL DISASTER ZONE. I also enjoy my favourite snack when you took a little bit of break in the middle of the video with my yummy Tokyo banana and black coffee.
Pure genius. I loved the understated delivery and clear explanations making it easy to follow and kept me engaged and entertained all the way through. Well done.
I also really appreciate that this video includes the long-term certainty of the sun becoming a red giant 🤣. It gets forgotten all the time just because it will happen so far in the future. About time it gets some love.
Your graph needs a third axis: Preventability. Asteroid collision: completely out of our control. Nuclear war: completely preventable.

Not necessarily. Currently there is a space mission heading towards an asteroid to hit it and see how it moves, so we have the basics to design hitting asteroid devices and avoid the dinosaurs' fate. On the other hand, just watched a video from Voices of the Past about the Japanese diplomat who was negotiating peace with USA while his country's high command was planning Pearl Harbor behind his back. War is an issue of human pride, short-sightedness, greed and stupidity, which are way more abundant than killer asteroids. (Also watched Dr. Strangelove for the first time a few nights ago. Was it supposed to be a comedy?)
Yes, but even more: Survivability by small groups of humans, and warning time for every increase in severity. As a bonus maye the estimate when we will be safe from something bc e.g. space colonies. I think asteroids and maybe super volcanoes remain the biggest thread of extreme mass mortality in developed countries. Climate related weather extremes might be second (partially dependent on geography and wealth).
@ prevent ability can change over time. Currently, we have absolutely no way to stop a 10km asteroid that's on collision course with earth but in a few decades that can be different.
Im here because of the video mentioned here that you recommend . And that video recommended to come here and check out ways we could die. gloom and doom grabs my attention lately. I figure our main threat , and reason we all die is , Governments.
@@Eira_ 😅 first go and watch cgp Grey's 'human need not to apply' or kurtzgesagt video on 'automation' or read yuval noah harrahi's second book. Then you will understand what problem i am talking about.
@@shoaibakhtar4389 capitalism's the big fault for automation being a threat. automating should be a good thing. it gives us the ability to put our resources elsewhere. but businesses see it, rationally so, as a superior alternative to workers. you don't need to provide wages and healthcare to a machine. this leads to a lot of unemployment and giving people less places to turn to as a result. in socialism, automation is a benefit. in capitalism, automation is a threat to the working class.
Don't know what a hob knob is, not British, but this Canuck definitely likes her tea while thinking of both my own, and humanity's doom. Thanks for this cheery subject. Seriously, who hasn't wished to rank impending doom with such a whimsical chart?
Correcting a mistake: The most recent supervolcano was not Toba, it was the Oruanui eruption that formed Lake Taupo in New Zealand, around 27,000 years ago. "Once every 100,000 years or so" might be a bit of an underestimate. Perhaps this would be more like once every 50,000 years or so.
Here from Veritasium, just watched how an Astroid can hit me anytime anywhere and now I am here to watch more possible ways I can get killed. So Exciting 😄.
The log-log plot is a great tool to compare the different scenarios, it is great to see it used in an outreach context! Since you asked for feedback on visualization: As an astrophysicist, I usually find log-log plots the best and only way to communicate any information :D great video
We were close to the end when you finally touched on the sun (so to speak). I had been wondering if I had missed a mention of solar flares, particularly in the context of induced currents wiping out power and communication systems. Then suddenly, it was over. A friend of mine was working (quite hush-hush) on developing a risk-assessment, WCS & BCS, and dealing strategies. He died in 2012, so I was never able to pump him over drinks for more information, but it was his only job, and he was very well paid. Without straying into foil-hat territory, there appears to be good reason to suppose that we are not being exposed to an up to date risk assessment of this threat.
I just watched this video today. I thought the same thing as you did- He had an illustration of the sun with Coronal Mass Ejection written out on the Doom Poster, but didn't mention that specifically
Thank you DoS for this amazing video. You covered some pretty big things in this video and presented them in a “good” way. One thing I was a little surprised about was that even though you had it on the map of doom you didn’t actually talk about the ‘coronal mass ejection’. The reason why it is surprising to me is because I think that it is something that would directly impact people in the current way of living and even more so if we become more dependant on technology. And as far as I know the likely hood of having a highly active CME seems to be reasonably high. Anyway, thanks for the video.
Aren't we going through a Solar minimum right now? And isn't the likelihood of a "severe" disruptive solar storm happening at any given year like 1.9%? Also, as someone from a country with less that 28% population depending upon the tech n comms, that a CME will disrupt, to survive, meh. All the richest troublemakers ruining my country's economy n environment and worsening the social inequity on purpose are a part of that 28% as am I. Even plane crashes are unlikely to happen in the areas the exploited rural 72% reside in. So I dunno... You balance out the long term pros n cons n it doesn't sound like much of a disaster for us(us as in my country's marginalised folk that have built it, not me, I'll perish). Low likelihood n the death toll seems low compared to the other disasters. Despite the world becoming a global village n all that tech, a HUGE population has been living and already dying without access to it. Not much of a difference to them. Even our distribution systems n channels for essential resources for survival depend v little upon the tech the CMEs could disrupt once you count the vast underdeveloped but over exploited areas. Only the urban supply chains depend on that. We have the capitalist imperialist expantionaist warmongering global north(not geography, an expression) countries to thank for keeping our nations that way. N those countries perishing n giving us a much needed breather doesn't sound like a bad thing. We might make the most of the few days of the boot off our necks n level the inequity a little bit. Or it may also not go that optimistically because covid was initially a pandemic of the rich and the urban n a portal to better systems n the rich n the urban still managed to kill more of the marginalised n then go back to the shitty systems. Our oligarch bootlicking govt. never wastes a good crisis. So... Anything could happen. Depends upon what humans do with it. If big enough CMEs do happen, the likelihood of which are v low.
I agree with you. What I have learned about any CME direct hit the magnitude of the Carrington Event would throw us into a situation worse than the pandemic, easily. At least we wouldn't have to pay our cell phone bills anymore. 3-4 Trillion dollars or more and half a decade to fix the fried grid, electric transmissions on the tractor trailers, replace satellites etc.
I also was surprised at no mention of CMEs. The last fairly big one, Carrington, was about 150 years ago and caused havoc with developing tech such as telegraph at the time. With our tech deeply dependent on electronics that would be destroyed by such an event, and that includes transportation, we will be in a major bind when the next one happens. I recall we just missed one by a few days three or four years ago. I still have a lot of hot electron field effect based devices (HEFED) available for communications, but they don't control planes, trains, automobiles, banks, etc. these daze. Of course the loss probably would be helpful to the billions of folks exploited by the "first world', but the costs would be far beyond economic. (PS: HEFED = valves for Brits. The meaning for others is left as an exercise.)
What makes me feel good/safe/better when I'm down or staring down an unknown threat isn't a calming cuppa and a bickie but a warm, prolonged and tight cuddle/hug from any of the people I hold close to my heart
@@ArawnOfAnnwn you don't need to take it literally, but the theme of humanity finding some obscure source of energy and using it without realising the extends of impact it will have on an environment and safety is somewhat more real and threatening.
I gagged at the poster ad. 😂 "The Map of Doom will take your mind off the pandemic when you realize how many other things you should be worried about."

Excellent. Note that global deaths from the pandemic have doubled since you did this video. And resistance by the human population to do anything about it has become incredibly high. I'm interested in that part of disasters and potential disasters. The psychological issues. How would that affect your chart?
Resistance, I like to think that chemical resistance is pretty much silly. When he let us know that there maybe a chance of antibiotic resistance. Natural human antibodies I thought would be better.
Solid video, except that I take issue with your "overpopulation" argument, which isn't even borne out by the way you discuss it. Notably, it's the richer, more developed nations that contribute to global emissions more than poorer nations that also tend to be more populous. Thus the issue is not population itself, but the consumption of those populations that is so devastating. Were all people to exist at the level of those that are least consuming, it wouldn't be an issue at all. While a bit pedantic, the malthusian argument is an insidious attack on less developed nations and less economically prosperous people because it implies there's a "correct" upper limit of viable humans the planet can support, and that necessarily leads to questions of fitness and who makes the cut. It also implicitly justifies the starving of millions or billions by suggesting that perhaps we've overstepped the carrying capacity of the planet. That is simply not the case, and the numbers bare out that it's a very small fraction of those on the planet doing the most to make it unlivable for the majority. Otherwise, top notch abyss-staring material. Would watch again while curled in the fetal position sobbing softly while rocking back and forth.
Hey thanks the for the feedback @Bercilak I very much agree with your points about not just the population size but also the consumption of those populations and I think we are overpopulated everywhere, especially in the high carbon usage countries. My opinion is based on the Ecological Footprint argument bit.ly/3qc2EE9 which uses a great question: If everyone on Earth lived like you do, how many Earth's would we need to sustain your lifestyle? Given the fact that the environment can absorb a certain amount of carbon. In 2019 the average American it was 5 Earths, and for India it was 0.7 Earths on average, for China it was 2.2 Earth's on average, and the global average was 1.4 Earth's, and that is just for carbon emissions. When we add in the effects of environment destruction to the mix, I think there is a fair argument that we have exceeded the upper limit of population on the Earth, acknowledging that the biggest damage is being caused by the lifestyles of the richest nations.
I think the real issues aren't happening yet. if the emissions of countries do eventually go down it will be the more wealthy countries first. The more populated countries with less development will lag behind. the countries that need to develope will use an excess of carbon emissions for decades until they can create more sustainable options. Over population has characteristics to go down with better education so most statistics show that with time the number of people in the world will plateau if the needed education is introduced. Meaning better health care and better education. I think the simple answer to emissions and over population is development and education which both will take a long time to happen and work but I'm optimistic that other countries will realize this and speed it up for countries that haven't made enough progress in development and education. And I know I'm not a genius but these are the things we should focus on.
@@domainofscience Also you had to understand that as level of education, healthcare, and public awareness of family planning is rising around the world, fertility rates are also dropping. You can find out many examples. Also some recent studies has found that the total world population will be peaked at 11 billion in some point of time like 2080 or so, and from there, it will decline and gets stable at around 10 to 9 billion. Overpopulation is a very bad problem but also if managed in wrong way (example China's one child policy or forced sterilisations) can caused even more damage like imbalance of sex ratios or other things. So the correct method is raising education, healthcare and awareness among the poor and high fertility populations like in India, Bangladesh, Africa etc.BTW, Thanks for this master piece.
@@domainofscience American pop * carbon emissions/person: 328.2 million * 5 = one billion six hundred forty-one million. Indian pop * carbon emissions/person: 1.353 billion * .7 = nine hundred forty-seven million one hundred thousand. _I think there is a fair argument that we have exceeded the upper limit of population on the Earth, acknowledging that the biggest damage is being caused by the lifestyles of the richest nations._ I would have to thanos-snap 150 million Americans off the face of the earth to even the numbers with India and China which is not an option OR America would have to technologically devolve into agrarian societies which is also not an option. No tenable solutions can be found within the rubric of the Eco Footprint scam 'model'.
Fantastic! I love the bit on antibiotic resistance. I work in urgent care, and antibiotic resistance is a daily conversation. 😞 I'd love to see an occasional update.
@@thealtruistmc5020 I honestly think the people who believe that BS are simply so terrified by the sudden and deadly nature of this pandemic that they refuse to accept the fact that it can just...happen. Blaming a country for it makes them feel at ease because it provides an explanation, as well as a tangible "enemy" for them to point fingers at.
@@nameismetatoo4591 so a virus that we are supposed to believe came from bats suddenly infected the entire world despite people eating bats for hundreds of years just randomly appeared? yeah no i ain't buying that. the same thing happened with the british air force during world war 2, where they started a propaganda campaign that basically stated that "carrots improve your vision" in order to "prove" how they were destroying the german aircraft. i'm not saying it was a chinese made virus. i believe it was a tool that the globalists created in order to accelerate their plans for their new world order that they so eagerly want to push out. destroying the middle class across the globe using the horrible lockdowns, and replacing all the goverments with totalitarian ones is more or less their big plans. just search for Claus Schwab, and take a look at some of his speeches. he's the one who founded the world economic forum, talking about how "goverments handled the coronavirus horribly" and "we need a GREAT RESET in order to fix the problem of climate change". because CLEARLY replacing the entire structure of our enonomies and societies will fix all these problems and we'll all live happily ever after. the fact that all of these things happened in one single year is extremely suspicious. i don't need to say more. the timing is too perfect to be true. call us conspiracy theorists or whatever you want. conspiracy theories are always made fun of until proven true anyway. things might turn out better than we initially thought. but at the end of the day there's one quote that should always be followed: "expect the best, but prepare for the worst".
@@xenhysics5926 "so a virus that we are supposed to believe came from bats suddenly infected the entire world despite people eating bats for hundreds of years just randomly appeared?" Yes, that's exactly what happened (though it may have been a Pangolin or some other mammal, but a bat is the most widely accepted source). Viruses jump between species all the time (e.g. H1N1 aka "Swine Flu", Avian (bird) Flu, Rabies, Ebola...the list goes on). Just because people have eaten bats for ages without this particular strain of virus infecting us does not mean it was a man-made virus. We don't know a whole lot about the origins of this new strain of Coronavirus so it's impossible to say for sure how long it has existed in the wild before it spread to us. It may have been going around among bat populations for years, or it may have been just weeks or months before it spread to us. As for the rest of your comment...I don't even know what to respond to that with. You sound very paranoid. Let me just say this: the disappearance of the middle class, the increase in power of the elite...these are genuine problems and you're right to be concerned about them. I am too. But your reasoning seems to be far into conspiracy theory territory (as you said yourself) rather than being grounded in rational thought and logic. You appear to be trying to make connections that don't really exist. Just be mindful about where you get your ideas and don't let your emotions cloud your judgement.

WELL DONE! Masterful graphic presentation of data with clear explanations. No annoying/loud ‘music’ or annoying/distracting ’tricks’ such as ‘cell phone screen’ sized video over same-video-as-background. I’m a graphic designer/scientist, so I know good work when I find it. ’Social Inequality’ is possibly the greatest ‘multiplier’ of these events/effects, for sure - especially if you include ‘political inertia’ and manipulation of political ‘will’ by money. I do agree with some other comments that suggest that more attention should have been given to the timing and consequences of Coronal Mass Ejections because other sources are warning that such solar events are probable within 40 yrs.
great video! you didn't talk about Coronal mass egections though, which I feel like are relatively frequent and also very catastrophic to our civilization.
CMEs deserve more attention: - We have one modern example - Carrington Event. - They could be absolutely catastrophic for modern civilization. - They are hard to identify in the geologic/fossil record. - We can watch solar weather and improve forecasts. - We can do real-time monitoring and give a few hours warning. - We can do simple upgrades to protect our electrical grid and electronics against modest events.

@@PabloGnesutta Yes, you’re right. I only suggested it because I heard the pentagon had a scenario to deal with them, but after further research, it appears to be a fictional training scenario for students and is not actually a plan of action.
I watched this in June 2022 and this year, so far, there have been 3 asteroid impact scares ( by the third time i was more calm) so what i do is try to forget about it, focus on something else, watch cartoons, and when i get really scared i do some breathing exercises
To be honest, probably not too serious in the scheme of things. We would probably lose a lot of satellite comms, GPS etc. Some power grids at high latitudes would get a bit flaky but that would be about the limit of it. The old telegraph systems in the time of the first Carrington event mostly kept working after the solar activity faded even though they were very disturbing to the operators at the time. These days the really long range stuff is all fibre which is immune to this sort of thing.
@@AndyFletcherX31 th-cam.com/video/-WzKAbH7odk/w-d-xo.html SciShow did an episode about this. It's not about transport of data. No power, fried circuits, no water and medication production, no hospitals, at best spotty communication. Might even cause satellite collisions.
This was excellent. Any plans on doing a very similar best case scenario utopian future? I'd love to have both perspectives to balance out the conversation.
Nice one. I for one am optimistic that the planet will be saved by virtue of the extinction of the human race. And we really shouldn't feel so special as we're talking about the 6th one. Although humans will be the first species to self extinguish, and in record time. So utopia is just off the chart (to the right).
You are saving the world from the biggest threat of all- OPTIMISM! Being afraid helps us assess threats and prepare for them. Despite what a famous politician said, we shouldn't be afraid of fear (unless that fear becomes obsessive). If you meditate enough to analyze fear you can understand that it can be useful. Overpopulation is something that many people seem to be in denial about. That's the scary aspect of that doom scenario. Showing people proof that overpopulation has negative impacts is one way to curb the effects. Thanks for the video 👍

long before we may ever be under threat from an AI that might desire to destroy humanity, we should be more worried about the many people who would like to take over the world using robot warfare that would be more than happy to pretend that those robots are autonomous.
every year we see millions fooled into believing something is autonomous that is purely acting within the robust parameters it was given via programming.

Dom: “There are ways of deflecting an asteroid.”
Derek: “So basically, if a big asteroid is coming right ar us we’re screwed”
Me: nice 👍🏻
On paper, deflecting an asteroid works quite well, but let's hope we get a couple more decades/centuries to perfect our engineering techniques too ;D
If we see one with only a few days warning, then there's not much we can do at all.
with maybe 10-15 years of headway, we could theoretically do something about it if we put in all our efforts into it.
but presently in the moment, we wouldn't be able to do much.
It is all down to the size and when you detect it. The lager it is the harder it is to deflect. The early you detect it the easier it is to get out there and nudge it as you need less effort to do so.
Personally I think that a Gravity tractor is the best option. But that really relays on you finding and getting there early. A gravity tractor is when you place a probe close to the asteroid and try to change it orbit with it gravitational pull. Since most asteroid are gravel and spin it hard just to go out there and push or trying to blow it up as shown in the Dereks video. Even covering it with foil might not help if it spins to much.
@@livethefuture2492 >"we could theoretically do something about it _if we put in all our efforts into it."_
And therein lies the problem. Think of all the political deadlock that would be caused by an attempt to spend the resources necessary to undertake that action. It wouldn't be as bad as global warming, since fixing that directly damages industries that already exist, but still, even just a few years of politicians squabbling over how many trillions of dollars to spend on this project and trying to exert their personal wills over it in order to gain political capital would be the end of us. Honestly, with how humans behave in general, I think easily preventable disasters that will take long-term effort to prevent are far more dangerous than short-term disasters that take Herculean, but short-term effort to prevent.
Me: nice too
Humans are monsters, they deserve to get screwed up !

Yes most definitely. I want the graph a lot more than I want the map.
I also really appreciate that this video includes the long-term certainty of the sun becoming a red giant 🤣. It gets forgotten all the time just because it will happen so far in the future. About time it gets some love.
Your graph needs a third axis: Preventability. Asteroid collision: completely out of our control. Nuclear war: completely preventable.
Not necessarily. Currently there is a space mission heading towards an asteroid to hit it and see how it moves, so we have the basics to design hitting asteroid devices and avoid the dinosaurs' fate.
On the other hand, just watched a video from Voices of the Past about the Japanese diplomat who was negotiating peace with USA while his country's high command was planning Pearl Harbor behind his back. War is an issue of human pride, short-sightedness, greed and stupidity, which are way more abundant than killer asteroids. (Also watched Dr. Strangelove for the first time a few nights ago. Was it supposed to be a comedy?)
@ fax
Yes, but even more: Survivability by small groups of humans, and warning time for every increase in severity. As a bonus maye the estimate when we will be safe from something bc e.g. space colonies. I think asteroids and maybe super volcanoes remain the biggest thread of extreme mass mortality in developed countries. Climate related weather extremes might be second (partially dependent on geography and wealth).
preventable by who and what means?
@ prevent ability can change over time.
Currently, we have absolutely no way to stop a 10km asteroid that's on collision course with earth but in a few decades that can be different.

Doom by foodstuffs. I'm reminded of the worker who was accidentally cooked to death in an industrial autoclave used to process cans of tunafish.
We were close to the end when you finally touched on the sun (so to speak).
I had been wondering if I had missed a mention of solar flares, particularly in the context of induced currents wiping out power and communication systems.
Then suddenly, it was over.
A friend of mine was working (quite hush-hush) on developing a risk-assessment, WCS & BCS, and dealing strategies.
He died in 2012, so I was never able to pump him over drinks for more information, but it was his only job, and he was very well paid.
Without straying into foil-hat territory, there appears to be good reason to suppose that we are not being exposed to an up to date risk assessment of this threat.
I just watched this video today. I thought the same thing as you did- He had an illustration of the sun with Coronal Mass Ejection written out on the Doom Poster, but didn't mention that specifically
it's cause it's happening. and the government doesn't want people to know!
so the government paid solar scientists to fake their deaths!
I`m here for a Veritasium vid, thanks for the amazing video DoSs. Grats from Perú.
I remember writing an essay in all thing that could end humanity in 6 grade. Everyone was so terrified of me xD
Thank you DoS for this amazing video. You covered some pretty big things in this video and presented them in a “good” way. One thing I was a little surprised about was that even though you had it on the map of doom you didn’t actually talk about the ‘coronal mass ejection’. The reason why it is surprising to me is because I think that it is something that would directly impact people in the current way of living and even more so if we become more dependant on technology. And as far as I know the likely hood of having a highly active CME seems to be reasonably high.
Anyway, thanks for the video.
Aren't we going through a Solar minimum right now? And isn't the likelihood of a "severe" disruptive solar storm happening at any given year like 1.9%? Also, as someone from a country with less that 28% population depending upon the tech n comms, that a CME will disrupt, to survive, meh. All the richest troublemakers ruining my country's economy n environment and worsening the social inequity on purpose are a part of that 28% as am I. Even plane crashes are unlikely to happen in the areas the exploited rural 72% reside in. So I dunno... You balance out the long term pros n cons n it doesn't sound like much of a disaster for us(us as in my country's marginalised folk that have built it, not me, I'll perish). Low likelihood n the death toll seems low compared to the other disasters. Despite the world becoming a global village n all that tech, a HUGE population has been living and already dying without access to it. Not much of a difference to them. Even our distribution systems n channels for essential resources for survival depend v little upon the tech the CMEs could disrupt once you count the vast underdeveloped but over exploited areas. Only the urban supply chains depend on that. We have the capitalist imperialist expantionaist warmongering global north(not geography, an expression) countries to thank for keeping our nations that way. N those countries perishing n giving us a much needed breather doesn't sound like a bad thing. We might make the most of the few days of the boot off our necks n level the inequity a little bit. Or it may also not go that optimistically because covid was initially a pandemic of the rich and the urban n a portal to better systems n the rich n the urban still managed to kill more of the marginalised n then go back to the shitty systems. Our oligarch bootlicking govt. never wastes a good crisis. So... Anything could happen. Depends upon what humans do with it. If big enough CMEs do happen, the likelihood of which are v low.
I agree with you. What I have learned about any CME direct hit the magnitude of the Carrington Event would throw us into a situation worse than the pandemic, easily. At least we wouldn't have to pay our cell phone bills anymore. 3-4 Trillion dollars or more and half a decade to fix the fried grid, electric transmissions on the tractor trailers, replace satellites etc.
I also was surprised at no mention of CMEs. The last fairly big one, Carrington, was about 150 years ago and caused havoc with developing tech such as telegraph at the time. With our tech deeply dependent on electronics that would be destroyed by such an event, and that includes transportation, we will be in a major bind when the next one happens. I recall we just missed one by a few days three or four years ago. I still have a lot of hot electron field effect based devices (HEFED) available for communications, but they don't control planes, trains, automobiles, banks, etc. these daze. Of course the loss probably would be helpful to the billions of folks exploited by the "first world', but the costs would be far beyond economic. (PS: HEFED = valves for Brits. The meaning for others is left as an exercise.)

Excellent. Note that global deaths from the pandemic have doubled since you did this video. And resistance by the human population to do anything about it has become incredibly high.

Resistance, I like to think that chemical resistance is pretty much silly. When he let us know that there maybe a chance of antibiotic resistance. Natural human antibodies I thought would be better.
you forgot military conflicts in general, we have good data and we can place it easily
Solid video, except that I take issue with your "overpopulation" argument, which isn't even borne out by the way you discuss it. Notably, it's the richer, more developed nations that contribute to global emissions more than poorer nations that also tend to be more populous. Thus the issue is not population itself, but the consumption of those populations that is so devastating. Were all people to exist at the level of those that are least consuming, it wouldn't be an issue at all.
While a bit pedantic, the malthusian argument is an insidious attack on less developed nations and less economically prosperous people because it implies there's a "correct" upper limit of viable humans the planet can support, and that necessarily leads to questions of fitness and who makes the cut. It also implicitly justifies the starving of millions or billions by suggesting that perhaps we've overstepped the carrying capacity of the planet. That is simply not the case, and the numbers bare out that it's a very small fraction of those on the planet doing the most to make it unlivable for the majority.
Otherwise, top notch abyss-staring material. Would watch again while curled in the fetal position sobbing softly while rocking back and forth.
Hey thanks the for the feedback @Bercilak I very much agree with your points about not just the population size but also the consumption of those populations and I think we are overpopulated everywhere, especially in the high carbon usage countries.
My opinion is based on the Ecological Footprint argument bit.ly/3qc2EE9 which uses a great question: If everyone on Earth lived like you do, how many Earth's would we need to sustain your lifestyle? Given the fact that the environment can absorb a certain amount of carbon. In 2019 the average American it was 5 Earths, and for India it was 0.7 Earths on average, for China it was 2.2 Earth's on average, and the global average was 1.4 Earth's, and that is just for carbon emissions. When we add in the effects of environment destruction to the mix, I think there is a fair argument that we have exceeded the upper limit of population on the Earth, acknowledging that the biggest damage is being caused by the lifestyles of the richest nations.
I think the real issues aren't happening yet.
if the emissions of countries do eventually go down it will be the more wealthy countries first. The more populated countries with less development will lag behind. the countries that need to develope will use an excess of carbon emissions for decades until they can create more sustainable options. Over population has characteristics to go down with better education so most statistics show that with time the number of people in the world will plateau if the needed education is introduced. Meaning better health care and better education. I think the simple answer to emissions and over population is development and education which both will take a long time to happen and work but I'm optimistic that other countries will realize this and speed it up for countries that haven't made enough progress in development and education. And I know I'm not a genius but these are the things we should focus on.
@@domainofscience You forgot to mention the Strange matter apocalypse (People who used watch kurtzgesagt can understand this)
@@domainofscience Also you had to understand that as level of education, healthcare, and public awareness of family planning is rising around the world, fertility rates are also dropping. You can find out many examples. Also some recent studies has found that the total world population will be peaked at 11 billion in some point of time like 2080 or so, and from there, it will decline and gets stable at around 10 to 9 billion. Overpopulation is a very bad problem but also if managed in wrong way (example China's one child policy or forced sterilisations) can caused even more damage like imbalance of sex ratios or other things. So the correct method is raising education, healthcare and awareness among the poor and high fertility populations like in India, Bangladesh, Africa etc.BTW, Thanks for this master piece.
@@domainofscience American pop * carbon emissions/person: 328.2 million * 5 = one billion six hundred forty-one million.
Indian pop * carbon emissions/person: 1.353 billion * .7 = nine hundred forty-seven million one hundred thousand.
_I think there is a fair argument that we have exceeded the upper limit of population on the Earth, acknowledging that the biggest damage is being caused by the lifestyles of the richest nations._ I would have to thanos-snap 150 million Americans off the face of the earth to even the numbers with India and China which is not an option OR America would have to technologically devolve into agrarian societies which is also not an option. No tenable solutions can be found within the rubric of the Eco Footprint scam 'model'.

@@nameismetatoo4591 so a virus that we are supposed to believe came from bats suddenly infected the entire world despite people eating bats for hundreds of years just randomly appeared? yeah no i ain't buying that. the same thing happened with the british air force during world war 2, where they started a propaganda campaign that basically stated that "carrots improve your vision" in order to "prove" how they were destroying the german aircraft.
i'm not saying it was a chinese made virus. i believe it was a tool that the globalists created in order to accelerate their plans for their new world order that they so eagerly want to push out. destroying the middle class across the globe using the horrible lockdowns, and replacing all the goverments with totalitarian ones is more or less their big plans.
just search for Claus Schwab, and take a look at some of his speeches. he's the one who founded the world economic forum, talking about how "goverments handled the coronavirus horribly" and "we need a GREAT RESET in order to fix the problem of climate change". because CLEARLY replacing the entire structure of our enonomies and societies will fix all these problems and we'll all live happily ever after.

@@xenhysics5926 "so a virus that we are supposed to believe came from bats suddenly infected the entire world despite people eating bats for hundreds of years just randomly appeared?"
Yes, that's exactly what happened (though it may have been a Pangolin or some other mammal, but a bat is the most widely accepted source). Viruses jump between species all the time (e.g. H1N1 aka "Swine Flu", Avian (bird) Flu, Rabies, Ebola...the list goes on). Just because people have eaten bats for ages without this particular strain of virus infecting us does not mean it was a man-made virus. We don't know a whole lot about the origins of this new strain of Coronavirus so it's impossible to say for sure how long it has existed in the wild before it spread to us. It may have been going around among bat populations for years, or it may have been just weeks or months before it spread to us.
As for the rest of your comment...I don't even know what to respond to that with. You sound very paranoid. Let me just say this: the disappearance of the middle class, the increase in power of the elite...these are genuine problems and you're right to be concerned about them. I am too. But your reasoning seems to be far into conspiracy theory territory (as you said yourself) rather than being grounded in rational thought and logic. You appear to be trying to make connections that don't really exist.
Just be mindful about where you get your ideas and don't let your emotions cloud your judgement.
"...being one of the eight unfortunate people to die in the London beer flood of 1814." : - | Dry as melba toast. Love it.
21 died in the Great Molasses Flood of 1919. How do I know these things?
And apparently that wasn't even the worst weird one in 1919. That was the Douglas Starch Works explosion, where 43 died. 1919 was quite a year for strange. Yes, the flu, and these others but then there was a grain grinding plant in Milwaukee, the Port Colborne explosion, and 14 died in a grain elevator explosion in Kansas City,
WELL DONE! Masterful graphic presentation of data with clear explanations. No annoying/loud ‘music’ or annoying/distracting ’tricks’ such as ‘cell phone screen’ sized video over same-video-as-background. I’m a graphic designer/scientist, so I know good work when I find it.
’Social Inequality’ is possibly the greatest ‘multiplier’ of these events/effects, for sure - especially if you include ‘political inertia’ and manipulation of political ‘will’ by money.
I do agree with some other comments that suggest that more attention should have been given to the timing and consequences of Coronal Mass Ejections because other sources are warning that such solar events are probable within 40 yrs.
17:58 Ah, yes, I've been looking for that. No map of Doom is complete without Doom Guy
great video! you didn't talk about Coronal mass egections though, which I feel like are relatively frequent and also very catastrophic to our civilization.
CMEs deserve more attention:
- We have one modern example - Carrington Event.
- They could be absolutely catastrophic for modern civilization.
- They are hard to identify in the geologic/fossil record.
- We can watch solar weather and improve forecasts.
- We can do real-time monitoring and give a few hours warning.
- We can do simple upgrades to protect
our electrical grid and electronics against modest events.
So that's the title of the video I was looking forward to seeing :'))
That has a "What if 2020 was an anime" vibe
What makes me happy is a little puff of some of that greeny goodness
6:33 *asteroid hits earth and causes global famine* humans: lets make it worse
When I'm faced with existential dread, I like to do things that take my mind off it. Generally video games or wholesome animated movies.
Big big mood
Or just accept the fact that you’re going to die one day and make the best out of each day, I bet you’ll like life more than just being an escapists and deny reality and have temporary dopamine, take care
@@leoFive789 or maybe you should try playing a video game lol
@@leoFive789 but escapism is what I'm good at !
@@cablecar830 had a ps4, n games are nice, not denying that fact some are just pure art, but as mfs we don’t know when to put a pause and continue our own life
I was looking for maps for the doom games, but this was still a nice find
Just type IDBEHOLDA and then press tab :D
You actually done pretty good. At least you didn't mention Zombie's
he put robots instead of zombies
For the dinosaurs it was a combination...but then they evolved into birds.
Well avian reptiles did the others died off and were replaced by mammals. crocodiles aligators and turtles survived though.
Cosmic Rider lizards and snakes did they existed lol
They all lived in water away from the surface
i wouldnt mind being hit by an asteroid and becoming a bird tbh
@@iForeverImmature LOL
This is a combination of map videos and apocalypse videos which are my two favortie types of videos on youtube
him: „i‘m not gonna ask you to like or subscribe“
me: *immediately likes and subscribes*
17:56 Okay, so Terminator, Glados, HAL…is that the paperclip from SpellCheck?
no
Looks like it. Probably a shoutout to the Paperclip Maximizer thought experiment.
Dominic, you are such a beautiful man. Merely hearing your voice while watching you on the screen never fails to make me feel less lonesome.
What makes me feel better? Well, a cup of tea is always good. And thinking of one of my favourite quotes from Winnie-the-Pooh.
(It’s from chapter VIII of The House at Pooh Corner. Pooh & Piglet are out walking in very high winds, Piglet saying:)
“Supposing a tree fell down, Pooh, when we were underneath it?”
“Supposing it didn’t”, said Pooh after careful thought.
Great video! I would have also included rogue stars/planets as well as zombie apocalypses (which the pentagon actually has a plan for) on your list of "Total Disaster (but unlikely)" scenario.
Zombies is a stretch
@@PabloGnesutta Yes, you’re right. I only suggested it because I heard the pentagon had a scenario to deal with them, but after further research, it appears to be a fictional training scenario for students and is not actually a plan of action.
@@IHudson also resources like water or gas n stuff, which are limited and essential for humans
Ummm actually there's a star moving towards the solar system 🤓🤓🤓🤓
I watched this in June 2022 and this year, so far, there have been 3 asteroid impact scares ( by the third time i was more calm) so what i do is try to forget about it, focus on something else, watch cartoons, and when i get really scared i do some breathing exercises
No mention of a Carrington event or did I miss something?
Geomagnetic storm hitting a part of the earth will be catastrophic in this day and age.
I recently watched a video that takes some weight of such an event. Dont remember the name anymore.
To be honest, probably not too serious in the scheme of things. We would probably lose a lot of satellite comms, GPS etc. Some power grids at high latitudes would get a bit flaky but that would be about the limit of it. The old telegraph systems in the time of the first Carrington event mostly kept working after the solar activity faded even though they were very disturbing to the operators at the time. These days the really long range stuff is all fibre which is immune to this sort of thing.
@@AndyFletcherX31 th-cam.com/video/-WzKAbH7odk/w-d-xo.html SciShow did an episode about this. It's not about transport of data. No power, fried circuits, no water and medication production, no hospitals, at best spotty communication. Might even cause satellite collisions.
@@justbuns6404 Particularly the effect on large power transformers.
This was excellent. Any plans on doing a very similar best case scenario utopian future? I'd love to have both perspectives to balance out the conversation.
Nice one. I for one am optimistic that the planet will be saved by virtue of the extinction of the human race. And we really shouldn't feel so special as we're talking about the 6th one. Although humans will be the first species to self extinguish, and in record time. So utopia is just off the chart (to the right).
Listening to music makes me feel better about the future!
Taupo in New Zealand had a VEI 8 eruption more recently than Toba.
A Map of Hope would be cooler. All the good things that can happen and we can accomplish :).
I got a packet of 500 of those from an office supply shop.
You are saving the world from the biggest threat of all- OPTIMISM!
Being afraid helps us assess threats and prepare for them. Despite what a famous politician said, we shouldn't be afraid of fear (unless that fear becomes obsessive). If you meditate enough to analyze fear you can understand that it can be useful. Overpopulation is something that many people seem to be in denial about. That's the scary aspect of that doom scenario. Showing people proof that overpopulation has negative impacts is one way to curb the effects. Thanks for the video 👍
Global warming is fabricated.
8:16 is such a perfect moment
