Ishbadiddle has this delightful graphic on the many possible catastrophes lurking in our future. For some of the events –"robots taking over" or "black hole swallows Earth "– the probabilities are what a Bayesian would call subjective*, so not very reliable. I was disappointed that solar flares, nanotech "gray goo," and mass suicide induced by too many "Friends" reruns didn’t make the list.
* and what an erudite Texan would call anally extracted.
