The Crisis#

Most of us alive today are arguably more likely to die in an accidental nuclear winter than in a car crash — and, unlike the doom-criers of every age, that claim comes with a forecast you can check for yourself.

Yes, talk of the end is as old as humanity, and fear-mongering abounds — but subjective fear is not the same as objective danger. What is new here is that the dangers are now global, self-inflicted, and measurable, and that they are not really one crisis but one pattern: the same broken way we make decisions together keeps manufacturing fresh ways to end ourselves.

This section lays out the evidence, drawn from the work of a professional research scientist — Dr. Laurence Loewe (Google Scholar), who set his career aside in 2020 to start a wid-e research marathon asking whether humanity can escape its own self-destruction. This marathon led him to set up Balospe.com in 2026. The point is not to rehash the wider literature (this collection of Wikipedia articles is a fine starting point). Balospe.com focuses on what research can do about these slow-motion exploding avalanches of disasters.

Five questions — and where each is answered#

  1. One crisis, or many — and can the threats even be classified?
    → the 7DUIs, a classification of the seven recurring ones.
  2. Can we put real numbers on the danger?
    → the actuarial forecast of the waiting time to accidental nuclear winter.
  3. Do ancient prophecies line up with the science?
    → Prophecy maps Revelation 16 onto the same seven threats.
  4. Why do good people and good institutions keep doing this to themselves?
    → The Silent Corruption: the seven-stage slide nobody notices.
  5. Is doom inevitable, or is there a way out?
    → it is not inevitable — the Jubilee System is the proposed way out.

Among the seven, the fastest-moving accelerant is AI: it threatens direct catastrophe and speeds up all the others by flooding the world with misaligned, automated decisions. For a sober insider view, see Tristan Harris and the experts he interviews.

There are good mathematical reasons to expect that the world as we know it — humanity and life on Earth — is bound to self-destruct in too many ways to predict or prevent, unless something fundamental changes. This whole website is dedicated to working out what that change would require. That is why LLoL calls everyone who can to help directly or indirectly to #AuditTheMath.

Note

No theology is required to take any of this seriously — the forecast and the classification stand on their own. If you also want the ancient-text lens (the route LLoL actually came in by), Prophecy maps it onto the science without asking you to believe anything first.

Epic Fury to Epic Empathy: Fund a ResearchCity for Mathematical Theology

For millennia, Jews, Christians, Muslims, and others have fought wars — and fueled apocalyptic fears — over theological questions that none of them could state precisely enough to resolve. Mathematical theology offers a way out: translate the claims into formal axioms, check them for consistency, and discover where traditions actually agree once ambiguity is removed.

First explorations reveal a striking result: all three Abrahamic scriptures converge on the same pan-en-theistic structure when mapped to formal axioms. If that convergence holds under rigorous scrutiny, it can defuse centuries of eschatological conflict by showing that many disagreements are verbal, not logical.

But this work requires global support to avoid capture by special interests. Refining axioms, engaging scholars across traditions, and running formal consistency checks all require sustained effort — as does real-world testing of what matheology discovers.

If you believe replacing eschatological warfare with mathematical clarity is worth pursuing before it’s too late, please fund this work — every contribution helps evolve a global ResearchCity for finding the narrow path to peace.

The email subject contains k2 and s2 — default codes for impact and urgency. Most contributors can leave these unchanged. To adjust each as independently as they are:

  • Importance of impact: above average k3, average default k2, below average k1.

  • Urgency of speedup: above average s3, average default s2, below average s1.

This allows plotting importance over urgency to help triage FF. For more details see FF System Design.
