So I was thinking a while ago. As the species begins to work on projects which approach the scope of the entire species moving collectively in one direction, how do we mitigate the equally large risks that come with it. Essentially, if we are to act as one entity, we will assume the risks of one entity, most notably that one single turn of bad luck could wipe out the whole species. So the question is, how can this risk be mitigated, rather than just yoloing it and almost certainly facing the same fate that a majority of new life faces in nature?
One idea that I thought was promising at the time was that 'time' does not seem to work the same way at the quantum scale as it does at the classical scale, and so I wondered if it could be possible to send warnings back to a previous point if disasters were encountered.
