The Doomsday Argument
The 'doomsday argument' says that because we are more likely to have certain qualities, if those qualities are typical, we can reason our way into believing that life is not going to continue on for human beings much longer. It might not be a doomsday snare, like maybe we all get uplifted or sublimed into the matrix, but human beings as we know it are not going to last very long,. according to this doomsday reasoning.
