b'Doomsday. The apocalypse. The End. Join scholar, author and professional existential risk philosopher Phil Torres for a surprisingly jovial romp through different "Oops we\'re screwed" scenarios that will lead to the destruction of the planet or extinction of our species. (Not to be confused with lepidopterologist/butterfly man, Phil Torres.) Find out where we\'re at on Ye Olde Doomsday clock, if any of us should have babies, if AI will destroy us, pop-cultural Antichrists, Black Mirror, simulations, technology as friend or foe, why voting matters (lookin\\u2019 at you, America) and how to remain chill in the face of doom. Also: the hottest underground bunkers on the market.\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nPhil Torres is on Twitter @Xriskology and his website is www.risksandreligion.org\\n\\nBecome a patron of Ologies for as little as a buck a month:\\xa0www.Patreon.com/ologies\\n\\nOlogiesMerch.com\\xa0has hats, shirts, pins, totes!\\n\\nFollow @Ologies on\\xa0Twitter\\xa0or\\xa0Instagram\\n\\nFollow @AlieWard on\\xa0Twitter\\xa0or\\xa0Instagram\\n\\nMore links at\\xa0www.alieward.com\\n\\nSound editing by\\xa0Steven Ray Morris\\n\\nTheme song by Nick Thorburn\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nSupport the show: http://Patreon.com/ologies'
