With long timeline and less than 10% probability: Hot take is these are co-dependent—prioritizing only extinction is not feasible. Additionally, does only one human exist while all others die count as non-extinction? What about only a group of humans survive? How should this be selected? It could dangerously/quickly fall back to Fascism. It would only likely benefit the group of people with current low to no suffering risks, which unfortunately correlates to the most wealthy group. When we are “dimension-reducing” the human race to one single point, we ignore the individuals. This to me goes against the intuition of altruism.
I fundamentally disagree with the winner-take-all type of cause prioritization—instead, allocate resources to each area, and unfortunately there might be multiple battles to fight.
To analyze people’s responses, I can see this question being adjusted to consider prior assumptions: 1. What’s your satisfaction on how we are currently doing in the world now? What are the biggest gaps to your ideal world? 2.What’s your assessment of timeline + current % of extinction risk due to what?
