I know it ain’t me and I hope it isn’t you

Posted by – September 9, 2008

What is the order of importance of managing the following issues for mankind:

-climate change
-artificial intelligence
-nanotechnology
-biotechnology (esp. the kind that engineers humans)

?

The only part of the order I’m fairly confident about is that climate change comes last (or second last, before biotechnology). It’s probably real, but it’s just not that big a deal. Both the up- and downsides of the other things are more important, and for most of them a big part of the impact is coming sooner.
