  1. Also how can they be sure if their current actions won't unexpectedly make the world more dangerous, not less?

  2. I am from Russia and I agree. Anyone who plays into Putin's plans is unironically evil. Although Musk is evil by himself. He lies all the time, all his reputation is built on lies. Another thing in which he is similar to Putler

  3. The lowest probability of existential threats actually was during our hunter -gatherer stage. Maybe once in 10 k years something like Toba volcano happened, but nowadays we have weapons of mass destruction, and during last 70 years there were already several crises with great probability of nuclear war. What weapons will be possible in the future? The ones that may destroy whole planets? Then it will be even more dangerous. And settling new planets will always be hard and take a long time. When destroying a whole planet becomes easier than to settle one, that is basically game over. The probability of destruction becomes too high, sooner or later it will happen. The more developed civilization, the more dangerous it can be to its own existence. In reality if we evolved back to Australopithecus stage, our genetic descendants would have the highest chance of long-term survival, even though they won't be the same as us (but then we are very different from our primate ancestors, reptile ancestors fish ancestors etc). And the civilization has much bigger chance of just destroying itself. Sad but that is how it is
