CLOSEST We Have Ever Been To Midnight: Doomsday Clock Reset

The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists announced that there are four existential threats facing humanity, those four threats being –

“Nuclear Risk,

Climate Change,

Biological Threats,

and

Advances in Disruptive Technologies”

and

“the spread of misinformation…”

The Bulleting of the Atomic Scientists announced that there are five existential threats facing humanity, those five threats being “Nuclear Risk, Climate Change, Biological Threats, Advanced Disruptive Technologies and the spread of misinformation, disinformation and conspiracy theories.”

and this has caused them to move the Doomsday Clock one second closer to Midnight, from 90 seconds until Midnight to 89 seconds ’till Midnight.

As the old song says “When the log rolls over, we will all be dead.”  Or, in this case, when the clock strikes midnight, most of us will be dead and the rest will soon follow after suffering agonies we can’t even begin to imagine.

And to think, I might be lucky enough to get to witness the whole thing!  Talk about Science Fiction dreams!

Tick, tick, tick folks!
