Embracing Catastrophe
We humans are our own worst enemies when it comes to what it will take to deal with existential risks. We are loaded with cognitive biases, can’t coordinate on a global scale, and see future generations as freeloaders. Seriously, are we going to survive? (Original score by Point Lobo.)

Simulation Argument (Epilogue)
There’s one last thing. Maybe the reason why we don’t see other intelligent life, maybe the reason we are in the astoundingly unique position of having to save the future of the human race, is because we are simulated human beings. It would explain a lot. (Original score by Point Lobo.)

The End Of The World with Josh Clark - End
Transcript
This is not a hoax, This is not a joke. It is becoming clear that we hold in our hands the fate of the entire human race. Those of us alive today are part of a very small group, including us and perhaps a few generations to follow, who are responsible for the future of humanity. And if it turns out that we are alone in the universe, then even the fate of intelligent life may hang in the balance.
