Jeff Bezos envisions a future with a trillion humans living in the Solar System, which he believes would result in 1,000 Mozarts and 1,000 Einsteins. However, this vision fails to consider the presence of serial killers. Based on data from 2018, if there were a trillion humans, there could potentially be around 37,000 active serial killers. Additionally, there is a small but alarming possibility of an "Einstein of serial killing" emerging. While the likelihood of such an individual is currently extremely low, the potential for large populations to make unlikely events more likely should be considered.
Jeff Bezos envisions a future where a trillion humans populate the solar system, believing it would result in 1,000 Mozarts and 1,000 Einsteins at any given time. However, this vision overlooks potential issues such as the prevalence of serial killers. Based on 2018 data, if there were a trillion humans, we could expect around 37,000 active serial killers. Additionally, the possibility of an "Einstein of serial killing" arises, with a likelihood of 1 in 27 quintillion. While these numbers may seem unlikely, the potential for such scenarios increases with larger populations.
