That seems pretty reasonable. “What will the future be like” is a pretty undetermined question.
However, he was applying this same logic to “will civilization be destroyed,” where “destroyed” and “not destroyed” are a pretty complete range of possibilities.
Unless maybe he meant that you have to know every possible way civilization could be destroyed in order to estimate a probability, which seems like searching for a reason that civilization doesn’t have probability-ness.
