Who the hell smiles while presenting the Doomsday Clock?

The Doomsday Clock stands unchanged at three minutes to midnight.
The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, which oversees the clock -- a metaphor of how close humanity is to destroying the planet -- left the hands in place from last year, which is the closest it has been to midnight since the Cold War days
quote:
"Three minutes (to midnight) is too close. Far too close," the Bulletin said in a statement. "We, the members of the Science and Security Board of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, want to be clear about our decision not to move the hands of the Doomsday Clock in 2016: That decision is not good news, but an expression of dismay that world leaders continue to fail to focus their efforts and the world's attention on reducing the extreme danger posed by nuclear weapons and climate change.
I'm ready! Ive been playing Fallout 4 to prepare for the end of the world. I think ill join the institute and submit to out robot overlords.

1 is a legit WYHI.
Fairly high IQ, batshit crazy, hangs out with climate change people. But then I repeat myself.

Well it didn't get closer, I guess that's something to smile about.
Also I recently saw a TED talk with that guy, pretty interesting dude, not big on religion though. Not that that added anything to your thread, I just wanted people to know I'm smart because I watch TED talks.

There's a good TED talk out there about how TED talks are bad.
All they do is enlighten or amaze, but then there's no action afterwards.
Kind of like your day-to-day posts...but I digress.

Those two seem really proud of themselves over a metaphor on a $1 poster

Ouch. But do yours change lives and start revolutions? Mine lower sea levels and cool the Earth, starting with whatever location I am currently at.

You say that like enlightenment and amazement are bad things. What's wrong with killing twenty minutes and getting your brain thinking about interesting things? It's better than reading some trash article about a Kardashian.

They are smiling because they know it is a photo op and do not even themselves take the clock seriously.

Well, yes. That is great, and that can cause you to go on and do something new in your life, or reroute it. Say, really get into computer science or astrophysics.
But the ones about global problems or country problems or government problems or health issues...when they do that, what is needed is action by people that now know about this issue. And nothing is being done.
Here is the talk: LINK

Could you have just posted your title as a comment in the other thread?

So you're suggesting that TED talks are bad for failing to do something that they weren't designed to do.
They're supposed to entertain and educate, not stir up an angry mob. That's dumb. I'll listen to it after work, but the way you're presenting it, it sounds dumb as shite.
