replyThis is how all politics is, and frankly the existential risk crowd needs to learn how to play the game instead of complaining about it.
>the public essentially has little interest in preventing human extinction.

Hasn’t the idea of existential risks entered the kind of “cultural elite Overton window” at this point?

Feels unfair to still dismiss it as a cult LessWrong thing at this point.
