I'm glad he's out there making his case, but watching the Bankless interview, it reminded me of the Joe Rogan episode where a pandemic researcher went on claiming millions upon millions of people we're going to die.

Someone else was wrong about a similar statement.

Everyone will be wrong about human extinction until someone is right. Your method of reasoning would never be able to distinguish the person who is right.

And even if he wasn't 6.5 mil / 8 bil is still pretty small. My point is I think he's on an extreme end of the spectrum.
