"Unless <highly probable event>, <extremely unlikely event> is going to happen" might be truthful but it isn't what Sam is really trying to say. And there is a big gap between stalls like the McRib and epoch-defining asteroid collisions.
- rficcaglia 9y agoI was defineitely going for humor...but in all seriousness, if you take the McRib as just 1 sku in a billion+ that humans produce that are both addictive by design, inflict direct physiological harm, and also contribute to climate change and planet scale pollution which are very much epoch-defining phenomena, yes you could very easily rank the McRib as equally threatening to all human life as a very large asteroid. That said, the real dominant species on this planet, tardigrades, could likely survive even a McRib-induced climate catastrophe. So if tardigrades merge with AI, we are totally and completely fubard!
