Let's make a list of the paths to human extinction in no particular order. 1. Nuclear war. 2. Global warming. 3. Asteroid strike. 4. Engineered pandemic. 5. Sun burns out. 6. Heat death of the universe. 7. Self replicating nanotechnology. 8. We stop having children. 9. We upload to virtual worlds and maximize our utility. 10. We OD on drugs or wire heading. 11.
