I'm a little disappointed to see you feed the "social justice vs. x-risk" culture war (aka "X is a distraction from the real problem, Y"). Personally, I don't think we are in a zero-sum regime, where it makes sense to focus on which of SJ or x-risk gets more of any single pie.
TMW when, in a panel discussion on free speech, you mention global thermonuclear war as a serious threat to humans of all races, and get called out for 'white privilege'....https://twitter.com/monamuseum/status/1005640639894056960 …

If you'd be up for it, I'd be interested to find out what assumptions we disagree on here. For example, what pies do you think are being split: journalistic airtime, research areas chosen by policy researchers, small-dollar charitable giving, Bay Area party smalltalk topics, etc?

Nuclear war is no bueno! An asteroid would be really shitty too. I’d actually be curious to know what’s more statistically likely to cause extinction. Regardless, it’s hard to appreciate existential threats when you’re facing more immediate ones (poverty, crime, brutality etc.)

Smh. I’ve not yet seen a satisfactory analysis of the concept of “privilege.” Maybe it gets its moral power from resentment. But resentment is not automatically valid. An unexamined “fairness” premise may be the presupposition for the callout, and it may be be hopelessly utopian.

Is there a better way to employ privilege than trying to avert nuclear annihilation?

Yes. It's mass SJW movement.
