Humanity is facing a set of risks unlike anything in our history - from artificial intelligence and nuclear tension to climate tipping points and systemic collapse. Most people hear the headlines. Very few understand the actual mechanisms behind them.In today’s episode, Matthew Rendall joins me to break down the real existential threats we’re up against - the ones that could permanently alter the trajectory of our civilization.Matthew is a political scientist who studies long-term risk, global stability, and why great powers make catastrophic decisions. He explains why some dangers are overstated, why others are dangerously ignored, and what our world might look like if we get the next few decades wrong.My Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vansh.xyzMy TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@vanshdlAbout THE HUMAN LENS:In a world filled with a disregard for the opinions of others, a lack of perspective and a narrow-minded view of life - we lose the ability to understand, to learn, and to grow. The world is an ever-changing, volatile and unforgiving place; this show bridges the gap between misunderstanding and developing an increasing aperture to view the world we live in. Hosted by 19 year old, Vansh Deswal - The Human Lens brings together those who have lived, learnt and acquired great wisdom, and those who are innovative and curious as a proxy towards creating healthier discernment in a disconnected world.
