Yes, but I - and probably you - will die sometime between 2025 and 2095. I wouldn't say that therefore our deaths are imminent.

- meheleventyone 3y agoRight but that's just you making a bad comparison on the timescale of this thing having collapsed previously it's pretty imminent.
- mschild 3y agoLikely, but if the collapse happens in say 2030, the rest of my life and that of almost everyone else, however short or long that may be, is not going to be pleasent. Regardless, I would like to see humanity safely thrive. I don't want earth to become an example of the great filter theory.
- wredue 3y agoThat’s a ridiculous comparison. Single human lifetimes are only measured in decades. If the entirety of humans were very likely to be wiped out from 2025 to 2095, you would definitely call that imminent, and is a much more apt comparison.
- olddustytrail 3y agoThat’s a ridiculous comparison. The vast majority of humans don't live anywhere near the Atlantic so there's no way the entirety of humans would be wiped out. My comparison was much more apt.
- jychang 3y agoThe number of people the collapse would affect is a whole lot closer to “the total human population” than “1 person”.

- jzb 3y ago2095 isn’t, but 2025 sure is if I’m thinking about my death! Also, for an event like this, even 70 years out seems “imminent” To me.

- armadsen 3y agoIf my son lives as long as his (still alive) great grandpa has so far, he’ll still be alive in 2110.
