Extreme Risks Quotes

“The worst extreme existential risk for humanity is not a nuclear war, the impact of a mega killer cosmic rock, nor a catastrophic disaster or a pandemic. The worst existential risk is humanity loosing its attraction towards risk. Without it, the stimulation to innovate would disappear, along with the progress of our civilization.”
― Jose Nessin Abbo, From Asteroids to Pandemics : Living a World of Spontaneous Risks
