According to Esko Valtaoja, there are two kinds of apocalypse: the apocalypse of fools and the apocalypse of rational people. Everyone believes in some sort of apocalypse—either in the form of Y2K, the economic downturn, or the end of the Mayan calendar—and, perhaps, because we actually love apocalypses. Esko Valtaoja is professor emeritus of space astronomy at the University of Turku. The youth philosophy event was broadcast on 15–16 January 2021 from Paasitorni. In cooperation: Prometheus-leirin tuki ry, Paasitorni, Feto ry, teachers of philosophy and outlook on life, and the City of Helsinki. The Stream of the Juho Rissanen hall was implemented by Valveilla Studio.
