I find it strange that some people, many even, think that humanity will accidentally go extinct. We're not like the other creatures that accidentally went extinct, because we uniquely develop meaning (or lack of it) and cary out intention. Our demise will be intentional.
Reminds me of the Anthrax documentary I watched last night. The first thought everyone had was that someone had inhaled anthrax from the wilderness. Reporters asked if the deceased "was a hunter?". Our first instinct was accidental, and only after more bodies with the same lineage started turning up did we finally realize it was a malicious attack.
... and that reminds me that there's still a high probability that Covid was lab-grown. I wouldn't go as far as believing it was maliciously released, but point out that anyone with access to it could have spread it maliciously.
As technology continues to enhance human capability, the destruction an individual or small group possesses will multiply.
The outdoor thermostat isn't going to catch me off-guard, but Covid had me flat on my back for 3 days and I lost 5 lbs. Just imagine what someone with bad intention could achieve.
