    I didn’t make the poster, but clearly one thing leads to another. To avoid extinction we need to avoid barbarism. I don’t really see a problem with the framing here myself. These are just two different aspects of the same problem and calling for the same solution.

      My issue with the framing is that it centers extinction as something to avoid. Non-existence by definition is not an issue for anyone. It’s the barbarism and total collapse that could lead to it would be an issue for the billions of people leading to that collapse.

        Some people care about the continued survival of humanity and look beyond their own nose. Since avoiding extinction requires avoiding barbarism, I don’t see any conflict here. 🤷
