bruh what? Are we reading the same blog? Bryan says the responsibility is the person making the extraordinary claim. If tomorrow Jacob Coxon comes on CNN and says "Jacob Gold is an extinction risk to humanity". What are we supposed to do? Put you in a bunker and never let you see the light of day until someone proves otherwise?

If someone doesn't accept an extraordinary claim without evidence, that doesn't mean they are making an extraordinary claim.

There seem to be two extraordinary claims which lack evidence:

a) 10% existential risk

b) 0% existential risk
