We could do a much better job of building a useful doomsday clock today out of a rich variety of real signals instead of the opinions of a few scientists on one narrow threat (nuclear war) 🤔
A doomsday clock is like a psychohistory MVP. I haz modeling ideas.

Idea: doomsday clock that runs on kairos rather than chronos. Every tick-tock is a semantically marked up real-world event that is appended to a live global gaming card feed with some tags and computed metrics like threat points, time horizon, etc. Narrative dice.

You could sell a subscription service where gamers could say: give me a random event of 1-6 threat points with tags {politics, Africa, climate change}. App shows such card and you use it in game play 🤔

Wouldn’t be surprised to see these folks have an approximation of this around: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Office_of | without the game card bits... just the clock components.
