What is the single biggest threat to humanity?

JulesKorngold

The biggest threats to humanity include:

1. Climate Change

- Described as "the biggest threat to security that modern humans have ever faced" by David Attenborough

- Causes extreme weather events, sea level rise, and disruptions to food and water security

- Estimated to affect almost half the world's population already, with worsening impacts expected

2. Nuclear War/Weapons

- The proliferation and potential use of nuclear weapons pose an existential threat

- Increased nuclear capabilities in countries like China raise concerns about a precarious three-way nuclear dynamic

3. Artificial Intelligence (AI)

- Rapid advancements in AI capabilities present potential risks to society

- Concerns include the creation of fake media and potential loss of control over AI systems

4. Pandemics

5. Environmental Degradation

- Beyond climate change, general environmental issues like biodiversity loss and pollution threaten human wellbeing

6. Overpopulation

Argument Topic: Why Kamala Harris is the biggest threat to humanity ?

Bogen said that Kamala Harris is the biggest threat to humanity. 
Tell me the reason why you think so.

@JeffreyBlankenship

Currently, the biggest threat to humanity, is perhaps itself.

Notwithstanding various catastrophic natural events.

Asteroids, super-volcanoes etc.

Micro organisms to a lesser degree...But never rule them out.

Bluesky.    Tell me the reason why you think so.

Because Kamala Harris is patently unfit to become the President of the USA, the world’s leading superpower.     She is so du-mb and so compromised by her own failed policies that she is too scared to even debate President Trump, or even answer reporter’s questions in interviews.     She is a DEI pick and she got the job of VP only because the is female and supposedly “black.”      Another reason why she got the job of VP was because the other Democrat Presidential nominees were even worse than she was.

 The reason why the bad guys are on the march all around the world is because the enemies of democracy see that the USA is now being led by a corrupt, compromised, and senile old man.      If Kamala is re elected, they will know that the majority of Americans have very low IQ and that their new president is just as much an id-iot as the previous one.    They will know that the USA is in irreversible decline and that will give them license to do whatever they want.     That is extremely dangerous, and I think that the world is on the precipice of WW3 unless the USA can get it’s act together and elect a president who knows how to think.  

If Kamala is elected, then keep your powder dry and start heaping stones on your battlements.  

 Over to you.    If you think that Kamala will make a great president, then tell us why?
