I modestly propose that eating babies is more likely to have good outcomes, including with regard to the likelihood of apocalypse, compared to the literal stated goal of avoiding the apocalypse.
This seems like a fairly hot take on a throwaway tangent in the parent post, so I’m very confused why you posted it. My current top contender is that it was a joke I didn’t get, but I’m very low confidence in that.
The parent post amusingly equated “accurately communicating your epistemic status”, which is the value I selected in the poll, with eating babies. So I adopted that euphemism (dysphemism?) in my tongue-in-cheek response.
