  1. Very educational and very scary video! Nuclear weapons are definitely an existential threat to humanity, and Oppenheimer and Einstein know this all too well!

  2. I think there's a flaw in the argument that we're all only about human number 100 billion, so we should expect only around 200 billion humans before we go extinct. This argument presupposes that each of us only has one life on Earth, but I disagree with this. What about reincarnation? If this were the case, wouldn't our human number keep increasing from lifetime to lifetime? The fact that there are 8 billion people alive today and that we're each one of them means that there was only an 8% chance that each of us would find ourselves living at this particular time in world history, so doesn't it follow that it's more likely than not that we were also here during earlier periods and conversely, we should expect to be reborn in the future? Just something to think about!
