Does it matter? Global warming is still an existential risk. If someone says cyanide is bad in food, and also state that the earth is flat, what does it say avout cyanide in food?https://twitter.com/primalpoly/status/1112042694858039296 …

Here we agree. AOC is mongering fear, & it shows at times. Sad, really.. I find it hard to comprehend that a population with higher avg. earning & greater avg. engagement with the world, elects fools with some regularity. I hope this changes.. My caveat:https://twitter.com/bronzmash/status/1112402279573917696 …
..no, don't take my word for it - and killing off all human beings is difficult, we're a robust species. Instead, I ask: at what fraction of the population's death or at what reduced level of life-span should one start deliberating action?OK, as long as we're careful to distinguish X risk from ordinary risk, we're cool.

Irrespective of AOC's level of alarm, I repeat my question: do you think (again, given trends) there is a chance that what seems "ordinary" now will tip system off its balance and snowball into an X-risk..? We're discussing a turbulent system here. Kindly keep in mind.

I should mention.. dear
@primalpoly, that in the screenshot below is my definition of X-risk - which is a smidgen broader in scope than "kill every last human"; I, of course, borrow from Bostrom.. ..what'bout you? I'd be happy to update to a new better source.pic.twitter.com/z8RaJG1icq
