The end of humanity won’t come from AI or war—it’ll be a virus. Humans are fundamentally flawed, and viruses are masters at exploiting those flaws. We’re social creatures, wired for connection, and in a world that’s now irreversibly interconnected, a virus has the perfect conditions to spread unchecked. It’s not a matter of if, but when. Technology can’t save us from our own biology, and hubris blinds us to how vulnerable we are. The very traits that make us human—our need for community, travel, and interaction—are what will ultimately be our undoing. Viruses understand this, even if we don’t.
