Ha ha ha. I was strongly tempted to add a softener to Luc’s phrase. I wanted a subtitle like “Technically If everyone reads it, everyone doesn’t die (all at once), but it doesn’t have the same ring, does it?”
“If everyone reads it and internalises the message, the marginal chance of everyone dying in a coordinated ASI related incident decreases relative to a hypothetical alternative which we [the course facilitators] do not observe but can hypothesise about with relatively high confidence”
Yes, only we think that the book seems to hit a high enough rate of internalizing the message that the claim would generalize to just “if everyone reads it” without being explicitly conditional on everyone internalizing the message.
“Nobody dies”? Wow, serious anti-deathism stance here! /hj.
