Great post. This type of genuine comment (human-centered rather than logically abstract) seems like the best way to communicate the threat to non-technical people. I’ve tried talking about the problem to friends in social sciences and haven’t found a good way to convey how serious I feel about it and how there is no current logical prevention of this problem.
One thing I notice is that it doesn’t link to a plan of action, or tell you how you should feel. It just describes the scenario. Perhaps that’s what’s needed—less of the complete argument, and more just breaking it down into digestible morsels.
