Yes, we are all going to die but maybe sooner than you'd think. New data from the Global Challenges Foundation shows the likelihood of massive human catastrophe in the next century to be around 10%. That means there's a better chance of doomsday than dying in a car accident. Or choking. Or being eaten by a shark. Or getting hit by lightning. Or meeting an angry hippo. I mean, those all sound like pretty great stories for your family to tell, not that you'd be around to share the laughs. But I guess if we're all extinct no one's laughing. Except hyenas, maybe. They weren't included in this analysis.
