Oh idk, I don’t think about bio x-risk much. (Though intuitively I feel like the lab leak story seems more likely than the malicious actor story; see terrorism is not effective and terrorism is not about terror; but that’s entirely a guess and not one I’d stand behind.)
Thanks! That’s definitely one way that space settlement could help with engineered pandemic x-risk.
I’m curious: do you think we should put 1⁄30 on humanity being wiped out (or close) by 2100 from a lab leak? That might be a bit high to some ears.
