We humans could have a bright future ahead of us that lasts billions of years. But we have to survive the next 200 years first. Join Josh Clark of Stuff You Should Know for a 10-episode deep dive that explores the future of humanity and finds dangers we have never encountered before lurking just ahead. And if we humans are alone in the universe, if we don't survive intelligent life dies out with us too.

에피소드1

Fermi Paradox

Ever wondered where all the aliens are? It’s actually very weird that, as big and old as the universe is, we seem to be the only intelligent life. In this episode, Josh examines the Fermi paradox, and what it says about humanity’s place in the universe.

에피소드2

Great Filter

The Great Filter hypothesis says we’re alone in the universe because the process of evolution contains some filter that prevents life from spreading into the universe. Have we passed it or is it in our future? Humanity’s survival may depend on the answer.

에피소드3

X Risks

Humanity could have a future billions of years long – or we might not make it past the next century. If we have a trip through the Great Filter ahead of us, then we appear to be entering it now. It looks like existential risks will be our filter.

39분
에피소드4

Natural Risks

Humans have faced existential risks since our species was born. Because we are Earthbound, what happens to Earth happens to us. Josh points out that there’s a lot that can happen to Earth - like gamma ray bursts, supernovae, and runaway greenhouse effect.

에피소드5

Artificial Intelligence

An artificial intelligence capable of improving itself runs the risk of growing intelligent beyond any human capacity and outside of our control. Josh explains why a superintelligent AI that we haven’t planned for would be extremely bad for humankind.

에피소드6

Biotechnology

Natural viruses and bacteria can be deadly enough; the 1918 Spanish Flu killed 50 million people in four months. But risky new research, carried out in an unknown number of labs around the world, are creating even more dangerous humanmade pathogens.

에피소드7

Physics Experiments

Surprisingly the field of particle physics poses a handful of existential threats, not just for us humans, but for everything alive on Earth – and in some cases, the entire universe. Poking around on the frontier of scientific understanding has its risks.

에피소드8

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?

46분
에피소드9

End

Josh explains that to survive the next century or two – to navigate our existential threats – all of us will have to become informed and involved. It will take a movement that gets behind science done right to make it through the Great Filter.

에피소드10

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.

Most fascinating podcast ever

This is one podcast I’ve listened to over and over and over. I’ve shared it with friends and family. I don’t think it’s importance can be overstated. Josh (and I) care deeply about humanity and the implications of the (very real, as he shows) possibility that we are the only intelligent life forms in the universe. It’s made me reconsider many things, and appreciate the fragile beauty of this amazing life we live.
Great Concept. Terrible Sound Editing.

This show would be fantastic if they’d get rid of the terrible background sound effects. It’s like having tinnitus built into the pod. It ruins a perfectly good experience.

Exciting, educating, and eery! I listen with morbid fascination to the extrapolations and genuine concern for the data and facts used to effectively illustrate the reason of these projections. Most of these topics have had interesting developments since this show’s release! There is new data, new insights, new technology. I’d love to hear more!

I just finished listening to the whole series straight through. Great stuff. Everything is well explained and well organized. Fact of the podcast for me was that A.I. doesn’t love me or hate me, it just was to use my atoms for something else.
