Cell phone will melt my brain and computer games will turn me into serial killer. Been there, seen that.

Previous doomsday predictions must be wrong, otherwise we wouldn’t be here to say they were wrong.

But part of the reason the other doomsday scenarios were wrong is because people took them seriously and tried to mitigate the risks.

I don’t think there have been any other credible doomsday threats (as in human extinction) except for nuclear war. Maybe virus development.

Previous predictions are wrong, therefore all predictions ever wrong! /s

I'm also not convinced that the carefully engineered dopamine drip of mobile scrolling isn't some type of brain melting.

Sometimes we should spend less time thinking if we could and more time thinking if we should.

Current AI predictions are mostly based on the Matrix and Terminator.
