https://xkcd.com/1968/ is #TheLastDerail in a nutshell. I can try to imagine hypotheses, but I'm not sure why Randall Monroe thinks this a clever thing to say. If I wrote a fictional character saying this straight out, I'd be accused of writing a 2D straw character.
I did not make a claim about the actual probability here btw. I also reject the idea that we should only worry about the biggest xrisk we can find. It might be a good idea if particular people specialize on particular worries.

FWIW I agree with this. This specialization is (non-locally) valuable.
