FACT: Replace 'in Australia' with 'on Earth' and the statement remains true. BONUS FACT: Also replace 'poisonous snake bites' with any other cause of death, and the statement still remains true.

Heck, replace it with something that isn't a cause of death, like "vitamin C overdose" (estimated to have killed 0 people so far, and to kill 0 more in the foreseeable future) and it's still true. (this is why I don't have much urge to nitcpick "poisonous" vs "venomous")
-
Venemous snakes deliver poisonous snake bites.
-
I thought "poisonous" was modifying "snake", not "bites". In any case, further research indicates that there is little or no historical, technical, or clear-communication reason for defining "poisonous" to exclude the snakes.

Everyone who travels by SpaceX to Mars will be killed by Elon Musk's colonialist billionaire "Human, the deadliest prey of all"-safaris. Unless something else kills them first. This fact is strangely absent from the debate.

We must awaken the sheeple to this fact.

I don't like hitting Like on this. I mean, I like the tweet, but not the fact. I hope there are some people currently living in Australia who won't die of snake bites or anything else. Failing that, who can postpone it for at least a couple centuries.
-
It's a content-free statement, as it is simply a truism. It might mean something if there were some statistics to go along with it, but as it is the statement communicates absolutely nothing.
-
The statement communicates that everybody in Australia dies eventually.
-
But my point is that if you will die, it will be the result of a cause of death. And with current technology being alive has a 100% mortality rate. So "You will die of X if something else doesn't kill you first" is always a true statement until technology improves sufficiently.
-
Right. My point was that I hope technology does improve sufficiently, and in the meantime I find the tweet amusing.

Interestingly, it is also true that all of the poisonous snakes in Australia will be killed by humans, unless something else kills them first. Each statement satisfies Yudkowsky’s Something Else Primacy Principle.

FALSE, sometimes people survive invenomation then die later of something unrelated.
-
That would count as "something else killing them first".
-
Not really, the statement has a restrictor & 3 booleans, my reply is one of two locically unconstrained choices.
-
I interpreted it as "something else kills them before they are killed by snakes". How did you interpret it? What are the three booleans and the restrictor you talk about? I only see two booleans.
