The end of the world is near

I am really quite shocked that only 46% said yes to this survey. I guess there are a lot of positive people in the world. (or blind)

What survey?

its a calculated clock by a guy in a wheel chair and a bunch of other guys who have helped create nuclear weapons i am sorry but the fact that they think they can predict the end of the world or the immediate danger that the world is in is asuming the power of god, which I'm sure they are all athists so it doesent matter anyways.

Seems like every generation thinks they'll be the last...

You could look back at nearly every point in history and I bet everybody during those times thought they would see the end of the world.
yup, that is definitely true. I guess it makes people feel special.

That said I think people are getting too smart for their own good and things like global warming, nuclear power, biological weapons, and even AI (like the movies) could be a problem in the future.

What survey?
There is a link to the survey in the article. Its right under the first paragraph and it says "agree with the doomsday clock"

A friend asked me the following question a while back so I put it to you lot.

I know that Stephen Hawking is a brilliant genius, but anytime anyone brings up his name, this is all i can think of:

I like the part that said they have adjusted the clook 17 times. This stuff has been said so many time. Just 10 years ago we where fased with global cooling now we are faced with global warming.
