1
In January of 1995, Russia detected a nuclear missile headed its way.
2
The alert went all the way to the president, who was deciding whether to strike back when another system contradicted the initial warning.
3
What they thought was the first missile in a massive attack was actually a research rocket studying the Northern Lights.
4
This incident happened after the end of the Cold War, but was nevertheless one of the closest calls we’ve had to igniting a global nuclear war.
5
With the invention of the atomic bomb, humanity gained the power to destroy itself for the first time in our history.
6
Since then, our existential risk— risk of either extinction or the unrecoverable collapse of human civilization— has steadily increased.
7
It’s well within our power to reduce this risk, but in order to do so, we have to understand which of our activities pose existential threats now, and which might in the future.
8
So far, our species has survived 2,000 centuries, each with some extinction risk from natural causes— asteroid impacts, supervolcanoes, and the like.
9
Assessing existential risk is an inherently uncertain business because usually when we try to figure out how likely something is, we check how often it's happened before.
10
But the complete destruction of humanity has never happened before.
11
While there’s no perfect method to determine our risk from natural threats, experts estimate it’s about 1 in 10,000 per century.
12
Nuclear weapons were our first addition to that baseline.
13
While there are many risks associated with nuclear weapons, the existential risk comes from the possibility of a global nuclear war that leads to a nuclear winter, where soot from burning cities blocks out the sun for years, causing the crops that humanity depends on to fail.
14
We haven't had a nuclear war yet, but our track record is too short to tell if they’re inherently unlikely or we’ve simply been lucky.
15
We also can’t say for sure whether a global nuclear war would cause a nuclear winter so severe it would pose an existential threat to humanity.
16
The next major addition to our existential risk was climate change.
17
Like nuclear war, climate change could result in a lot of terrible scenarios that we should be working hard to avoid, but that would stop short of causing extinction or unrecoverable collapse.
18
We expect a few degrees Celsius of warming, but can’t yet completely rule out 6 or even 10 degrees, which would cause a calamity of possibly unprecedented proportions.
19
Even in this worst-case scenario, it’s not clear whether warming would pose a direct existential risk, but the disruption it would cause would likely make us more vulnerable to other existential risks.
20
The greatest risks may come from technologies that are still emerging.
21
Take engineered pandemics.
22
The biggest catastrophes in human history have been from pandemics.
23
And biotechnology is enabling us to modify and create germs that could be much more deadly than naturally occurring ones.
24
Such germs could cause pandemics through biowarfare and research accidents.
25
Decreased costs of genome sequencing and modification, along with increased availability of potentially dangerous information like the published genomes of deadly viruses, also increase the number of people and groups who could potentially create such pathogens.
26
Another concern is unaligned AI.
27
Most AI researchers think this will be the century where we develop artificial intelligence that surpasses human abilities across the board.
28
If we cede this advantage, we place our future in the hands of the systems we create.
29
Even if created solely with humanity’s best interests in mind, superintelligent AI could pose an existential risk if it isn’t perfectly aligned with human values— a task scientists are finding extremely difficult.
30
Based on what we know at this point, some experts estimate the anthropogenic existential risk is more than 100 times higher than the background rate of natural risk.
31
But these odds depend heavily on human choices.
32
Because most of the risk is from human action, and it’s within human control.
33
If we treat safeguarding humanity's future as the defining issue of our time, we can reduce this risk.
34
Whether humanity fulfils its potential— or not— is in our hands.

인기 동영상

왜 이 비디오로 말하기 연습을 해야 할까요?

이 비디오는 인류 생존의 네 가지 주요 위협에 대해 다루고 있습니다. 이러한 주제는 매우 시의적절하고 중요합니다. 영어 쉐도잉을 통해 이러한 내용을 이야기함으로써, 영어 실력을 향상시킬 수 있습니다. 영상 속에서 다양한 주제를 다루니, 유튜브 영어 공부를 통해 말하기 연습을 하는 것은 더욱 유익할 것입니다. 'shadow speak' 연습을 통해 비디오에서 사용하는 어휘와 표현을 자연스럽게 익힐 수 있습니다.

문맥 속의 문법 및 표현

비디오에서 몇 가지 핵심 구조가 자주 사용됩니다. 이 구조들을 통해 실제 대화에서 활용할 수 있는 표현을 익힐 수 있습니다:

  • "It's well within our power to reduce this risk." - 이 표현은 우리의 능력과 책임을 강조합니다.
  • "While there’s no perfect method..." - 조건절을 사용하여 불확실성을 설명하는데 유용합니다.
  • "Could cause pandemics through biowarfare..." - 가능한 상황을 제시하는 'could'의 활용이 좋습니다.
  • "Based on what we know at this point..." - 현재의 정보를 기초로 한 추론의 표현입니다.

이런 표현들은 실제 대화에서 논리적으로 자신을 표현하는 데 큰 도움이 됩니다.

일반적인 발음 함정

비디오 속 몇 가지 단어와 문구는 영어 학습자에게 어려운 발음 함정을 포함하고 있습니다. 예를 들어:

  • "existential"라는 단어는 '이그지스텐셜'과 같이 발음되어 혼동을 줄 수 있습니다.
  • "pandemics"는 특히 '팬데믹스'로 발음해야 하며, 강세에 주의해야 합니다.
  • "biotechnology"는 복잡한 발음으로, 여러 분절로 나누어 연습하는 것이 좋습니다.

이 단어들을 연습하며, shadowing site를 통해 자연스러운 발음을 익히는 것이 중요합니다. 비디오를 반복 시청하며 직접 따라 해보세요.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
