    Lighting scares me. Asteroids? Well, they took out the dinosaurs, but Turtledude survived… so all is well on that front. :)

    Dame Thatcher noted that socialism is a great idea until you run out of other peoples' money
    I believe Ben Franklin said that when the voters figure out that they can vote themselves the contents of the p public treasury, the Republic will fail

    Too many people blame others for their failures and expect others to fund their existence and when the welfare is no longer available, they will get violent and angry. And teat sucklers tend to out breed net tax producers. well educated people with high paying jobs tend to delay or restrict having children. when I went back for my 25th reunion at Yale, i was surprised how many people-in their late forties had kids still in high school or even grade school. I figured out that many didn't start having kids until they made Partner in the law firm or investment bank or had their own medical practice. People with only a HS or less education tend to start popping out the puppies in their late teens or early twenties

    democrats count on those parasites to vote them into power and then stick their long beaks in the gravy train designed to feed the parasites, so as to become millionaires.

    and what will bring it to an end is when we can no longer borrow to pay the interest on our debt. Could be coming soon.

    Worse than most parasites are the predators and failed predators, like Biden.

    The biggest threat is Apophis. Originally estimated to hit earth, but now will miss apparently, although it still has a tiny chance in April 2036 -

    I believe that the biggest threat to humanity are organized billionaires who are Neo-Malthusian in their Economic Philosophy and they sincerely......
    [or perhaps not so sincerely].......
    believe that their only way to save the environment from the bulk of us humans is to depopulate the earth down to two or three billion humans!?


    Near death experiencer Dannion Brinkley seems to have been shown the most recent time line......
    that occurred before his 1975 brush with death.......

    and the Mark of the Beast that happened in that time line was no laughing matter!



    The movie of Dannion Brinkley's life was very well done.....
    it stars Julia Roberts' brother as Dannion.....





    You can read a lot about what Dannion was shown here....
    https://near-death.com/some-people-receive-verified-visions-of-the-future/

    and.....

    https://near-death.com/future/

    Personally.....
    I don't think this is The Beast guy who was shown to near death experiencer Dannion Brinkley ......

    but he does seem to be making a valiant effort to sit on the throne of the "beast"



    If the ultimate "Beast" person is AI generated... then your AI answer to this poll could well be correct???????? We also could be talking about a human... who has been augmented mentally and physically and perhaps genetically??????

    True.....
    if Biden in the USA and Trudeau here in Canada would ignore Bill Gates and Al Gore...... and George Soros...
    and sincerely attempt to tell the truth about big subjects.......
    then Covid 19 would have been handled in such a way that would not have
    shut down such a high percentage of the economies of the USA and Canada.

    An interesting post.

    I thought the first item you mentioned really needs to be covered a lot more,

    maybe in the MSM if it did anything other that pat the backs of politicians for starting wars,
    and focusing on minutia to distract the public.

    I was discussing the issue of the Population Bomb (came out as a book 1968 Paul Ehrlich)
    with an old fellow, who was totally convinced that rising population, particularly of stupid
    people, who weren't atheists, was the biggest threat to humanity.

    I gave some data he said he'd never heard before and my guess is he didn't believe the
    data either.

    But it certainly looks like the ultra rich octogenarians (and older) are trying to destroy humanity
    to save the environment and hence humanity, similar to what you mentioned.

    I voted WW3. I think Economic Collapse is the real threat, but either one is pretty likely to lead to the other. But then again, those are threats to civilization, humanity will survive and rebuild.

    Asteroids and solar flares deadly enough to threaten our existence aren't very likely. WWIII is.

    Super Volcano, Nuclear War, Asteroid or comet impact. Not in any particular order. All three has the ability to wipe out mankind completely. Climate change, pandemics, AI, some, many, but not all.

    Carrington-like events are fairly common. We just have not had one since we've been dependent on an electrical grid and telecommunications.

    Asteroids are much rarer; but if we have one that's an extinction level event well...it's an extinction level event.

    God. The Judaeo-Christian God, to be precise.
    Because He has a divine plan you know. A dark plot that includes "wars and rumors of wars", Armageddon, the Antichrist, "the mark of the beast", "the abomination of desolation", the Apocalypse, mass extermination of people. So much so that

    Well, if God has planned so, gotta execute the Plan.
    However, I must admit, I'm not happy, to put it mildly, playing in that vaudeville.

    Well, it's 2024 and I have never heard of those "DNA virus chips" or this Middle Eastern man. Let alone "before the turn of the century".
    Happy New Year, Dennis. :)

    Humanity itself, that dumbing down the result of those who just want to take care of us all.
