Right, and if someone can join the two, that could be something genuinely formidable. But does anyone have a credible path to joining the different flavors to produce a unity that actually works?

Are you willing to make existential bets that no one does and no one will?

Personally, I wouldn't even bet substantial money against it.

Even if someone will, I don't think it's an "existential risk". So, yes, I'm willing to make the bet. I'm also willing to make the bet that Santa never delivers nuclear warheads instead of presents. It's why I don't cap my chimney every Christmas Eve.

Between Covid, bank failures, climate change, and AI, it's like everyone is looking for something to be in a panic about.
