Nick Bostrom, problems

This speaker took a look at what are humanities biggest problems with the human race. He stated that age, risk, and that life isn't always the best it can be. This talk made me think about these topics and ponder the impact of them on my life. This speaker had a very standard style. He stood behind a podium and had a power point that went along with his speech. The first two topics deffinetly made me think more because they seem to apply more to me. Every second I am alive I get older and every time I get out of bed I take a risk. I could fall down the stairs or burn myself on the toaster. The final point also made me think that life can't always be like vacation where there is no responsablility and there might not be something new to do or an extra piece to something for extra entertainment. This talk made me appreciate what I have because: 1.The darkness is slowly closing in. 2. I could be grossly injured at any time. 3. It could always be worse.
