A rather macabre poll: over the next 100 years, which do you think has a higher chance of (directly or indirectly) killing more than a billion people?
-
Untreated mental illness and pharmaceuticals
And cancer, and heart disease, and a lot of other things. I'm curious about the way people think about these two particular risks.

one important question though: you know an area is extremely prone to earthquakes. You know how to build to avoid that risk anyway but it is expensive. You don't. 30 years later EQ comes and you die. What is the cause of death? the EQ or your choice not to build properly?

the answers are honestly incredible, the probability of climate change killing 1 billion people in 100 years is so small that i don't understand them. It's kind of a 6 sigma risk. Which means risk of nuclear annihilation per year has to be higher than 1/30 millions to be >>
