Today, we're discussing 5 plausible ways that the world could end, and I'm thrilled to be doing this as a 2-part collaboration with the one and only Isaac Arthur. Check out his video here:

Obviously there are many end-of-the-world scenarios out there, but for the purposes of these videos, we chose to focus on these five:

Grey Goo/Artificial Intelligence
Runaway Greenhouse Effect (Global Warming)
Comet or Asteroid Impact
Gamma Ray Burst
Death Of The Sun

From the self-replicating nanobots of John Von Neumann and K Eric Drexler to the gamma ray burst that caused the Ordovician Extinction, and how the death of Venus may signal our own future on Earth, our planet faces a multitude of threats that could end life as we know it.

Hi joe great show as always.

I have just sponsored you for 10 shares on @steembasicincome

You briefly discussed universal basic income on mondays live show and thought you should know about this.
How better to know about it than to have a part in it.

Check out what they are about but the basics are these.

Someone purchases a share worth 1 steem
They sponsor another user to have a share as well
Both users get 1 share each
The share makes you entitled to upvotes on steemit for life.

Currently each share is only worth just over $0.01 per week. These soon add up and there are other ways to get higher upvotes.

The aim is to give ever share holder a basic level of support on steemit. If/whwn thw value rises so does you upvote to the point that it may pay for a basic income.

Ps would be great if you took on a member to your team who could really get involved in the steemit plateform
