Their reasoning seems sound to me but I'm amused that someone built a clock that shows what their current guess is for when "doomsday" will happen and they get free press every single time they change it.

I feel like I'm missing out on doing something silly that I can periodically change, call a press conference for and get some attention.

My doomsday clock says 100ms.

It is not just "someone" picked at random from the street, the people that work those calculations don't have a political or sensationalist agenda, they don't do it for fame or Facebook likes.

More amusing than the clock itself is the reasoning behind it. I would recommend researching on the depths of their claims

I didn't say it was someone random but it's from Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists. It's a non-profit, which is good, but they do other things so getting press for the Doomsday clock is highly beneficial for them.

I'm not saying they update it _just_ to get press but I'm sure they highly enjoy the press they get every-time they touch the thing.

It's the very definition of a political agenda.
