Dude, none of these are gonna be considered "major." If you were to travel to the year 2500 and asked people about COVID-19 or the war in Ukraine, only huge history nerds would have any idea of what you're talking about

I think that the first AGI, which will probably be this decade, will be considered a major historical event by 2500, just like how we still consider the invention of the printing press a major historical event.

If the Ukraine war ends up escalating into WW3, I think that will count as well, unless we get up to like WWX.

If David Grusch is right, I think disclosure would make that list.
