The Gorilla Problem: Are We Creating Our Successors?

So, so the gorilla problem is, is the problem that gorillas face with

respect to humans.So you could imagine that, you know, a few million years

ago, the- the human line branched off from the gorilla line in evolution.

Uh, and now the gorillas are looking at the human line and saying, "Yeah,

w- was that a good idea?" And they have no, um... They have no say

in whether they continue to exist. Because we have a... We are much smarter

than they are. If we chose to, we could make them extinct in, in a couple of weeks,

and there's nothing they can do about it. So that's the gorilla problem,
