Looks like Wired is hopping on the hot, new (neo-)fascist FUD-a-thon we’ve got cookin’ here in the “home of the brave.” They just published a handy guide to planetary extinction (Titled, alarmingly enough, “We’re All Gonna Die!” =). It’s a pretty entertaining read, but nowhere near as enlightening as Discover Magazine’s identically themed article from a few years back (This one’s called, much more soberly, “20 Ways the World Could End”). Aside from the fact that the Discover article has better hard science scenarios, they have better “left-field” scenarios too! For instance, Wired makes no allowance for Mass Insanity (my current fave, especially considering the recent antics of the US Medical Industry (cough) Pharmaceutical Companies (cough) Legal Drug dealers… =), Robot Takeover or the possibility that existence is just a dream inside, like… a giant trans-galactic Gaian mind, dude!
