There are many things 'looming' on the horizon. Someone into the 'Collapse' might laugh at you because we won't have time to reach AGI (collapsing energy grids, climate change, etc).

Someone into the Russian war might laugh at them because nukes will fly next year.

Someone into economy might say that everything is going to crash massively

Someone into biology might say that we will all be dead soon because antibiotics won't work anymore within a few years.

Are you following all these things closely? All of them claim it's coming soon and that nobody is talking about it enough.
