Presented by Ambrese Montagu

What is the greatest threat to humankind in the 21st-century? What is the greatest threat the world could end?

Here are five thought-provoking ChatGPT questions about the end of the world that explore different dimensions—philosophical, ethical, scientific, and existential:

  1. What responsibilities do we have to future generations when considering the potential end of the world, and how should those responsibilities shape our actions today?

  2. If we knew the world was going to end in a year, how would that knowledge change the way we live, govern, and relate to each other?

  3. Is the end of the world a concept rooted more in our fear of mortality, or is it a realistic scenario that humanity must actively work to prevent?

  4. How might different cultures, religions, or belief systems interpret and respond to the idea of the world's end, and what does this say about the nature of human understanding?

  5. If humanity had the chance to prevent the end of the world but at the cost of significant freedom or ethical compromise, would that be a price worth paying? Why or why not?
