This is a tautology. At some point the music stops and you aren't here to make the argument that we are still here.

not entirely tautological. the probability that something bad happens tomorrow if we do X today for the first time is very different than the probability that something bad happens tomorrow if we do X today GIVEN weve been doing X every day for 50 years.

It is still insufficient to say nothing bad will happen, of course

Thats not the argument. The one you are making is the same one people make when they conflate weather and climate.

Conditional probability applies to many things
