Is there a better word than ‘sustenance’ for outcomes where humanity does not suffer a global catastrophe?
There is some discussion here about such a term
This isn’t exactly what I’m looking for (though I do think that concept needs a word).
The way I’m conceptualizing it right now is that there are three non-existential outcomes:1. Catastrophe2. Sustenance / Survival3. Flourishing If you look at Toby Ord’s prediction, he includes a number for flourishing, which is great. There isn’t a matching prediction in the Ragnarok series, so I’ve squeezed 2 and 3 together as a “non-catastrophe” category.
