I considered posting this in sub/ScienceFiction. Next time I will do so

Agreed, it is an old fearmongering Fermi Paradox solution. But isnt it fun to think of all the way humanity could be wiped out

the Fermi Paradox then become, where are the Reapers, or why arent we Reaped yet? I guess the article is more on the idée that AI will lead to total destruction, basically through AI controlled weapon… before any Reaper like AI is available.

the Fermi paradox state that given the billion year available, any civilisation should already have conquered all the galaxy by now. Including Iowa. Even with sub light speed, and given the immensity of space, it would take a few hundred thousand year to reach a new planet and from there relaunch to another… etc

I suppose the" great filter" is called so, because it does not only happen 99.9% of the time but 100%. But indead, it is hard to think of anything so certain that will always wipe every civisilasion , all the time.

we’re heading toward monogamy at the main relationship status. Biologicaly it the best model for offspring survival

This author doesn’t seem to be aware that correlation does not equal causation.

He know the difference, that is the whole point of the study :

|However, researchers have not been able to agree on whether smoking causes depression or other mental disorders, **or **whether we smoke because we need to lessen the symptoms of a latent mental disorder. But now we know.|

Your experience though valid, is not a study about 350 000 people. And I’d rather believe the scientists (who spent their life interpreting data like that) when they say :

"Smoking typically comes before the mental illness. In fact, a long time before.

is there another communities for thoses type of news? gossip? What when Queen of england die?
