That isn’t my argument, my argument is just that the general tone seems too defeatist.
The question asker was under the impression that the probabilities were %99.X percent against anything okay. My only argument was that this is wrong, and there are good reasons that this is wrong.
Where the p(doom) lies between 99 and 1 percent is left as an exercise for posterity. I’m not totally unhinged in my optimism, I just think the tone of certain doom is poorly founded and there are good reasons to have some measure of hope.
Not just ‘i dunno, maybe it will be fine’ but real reasons why it could conceivably be fine. Again, the probabilities are up for debate, I only wanted to present some concrete reasons.
