They didn't start calling WWII what it is until 1944, but I think we can all agree it didn't start in 1944.
Just like later historians placed the start of WWII on multiple different events depending on which country you're in, the start of World War III will be long before we start calling it that.
I'm in the camp that the start of WW3 will be the Russian invasion of Ukraine if things continue to escalate the way they're going, because that's when you really started seeing lines being drawn between the axis and allies.
Russia, China, Iran, and NK are the most recognizable names that have aligned themselves with the axis so far.
The lines are already drawn and future events will dictate whether or not we're currently living in WW3 today.
The Great Filter is the idea that, in the development of life from the earliest stages of abiogenesis to reaching the highest levels of development on the Kardashev scale, there is a barrier to development that makes detectable extraterrestrial life exceedingly rare. The Great Filter is one possible resolution of the Fermi...
I think that the great filter/fermi paradox is a combination of two facts,
Our entire radio output (the only example we have to go by) is pitiful compared to the sun, like a candle in front of a flood light, you'll only be able to see it so far before it's completely drowned out. After a few dozen light years our radio output is less than the margin of error of a stars detectable radio output.
As a civilization advances it must reduce radio leakage. As data gets more important, it gets more important that you're not wasting energy moving it around. Narrow beamed radio transmission becomes the norm and even less radio signals escape the system than when radio was messy and overpowered.
They're not missing or gone, they've just moved beyond messy radio signals. Even we tightened up our radio emissions in a little over a century. Most of what we watch or listen to comes to us via fiber, cable, or short range transmissions like cell phone towers and Wi-Fi.
I don't.
I don't have kids, I work 40hrs a week, I don't buy little things I want because there's a few "big" things I want that'll I'll need about $800 for.
I make it almost paycheck to paycheck and it will take me at least 6 months to save $800 if I buy nothing else.
I'm sure China would be thrilled if Russia started WWIII on their border.
But let's be honest though, world war III started 3 years ago and as of right now there are currently 9 more active conflicts going on worldwide than the peak of world war II, but no one is going to call it a world war until the superpowers are in direct conflict with each other.
Not likely, considering the last few times it happened it didn't. This is the first time it's happened since the 1980s, not the first time it's happened.
While I agree the spread of CSAM needs to be stopped, we can't violate everyone's privacy in the effort to do it.
And are actual people going to be reviewing these messages or are we just going to blindly trust AI not to flag innocent people on accident?

I'm sure it also enrages him that we're helping Ukraine at all, so what's the point?
In fact, we should be going out of our way to purposefully piss him off.

Yeah, we'll see how well that works when billions of people are displaced by climate change, living in poverty with little to no access to healthcare or medicine.

Honestly I think it's as simple as his notariety.
He is one of the most well-known psychologists and is a bit of a pop culture icon.
It's like how you see most non-physicists talk about Einstein more than they do Feynman or Higgs.
While "next" is technically correct, it'll be far worse than Covid was/is.
Covid was our practice round and we failed.
Not only is Bird Flu orders of magnitude more deadly than Covid, people are so thoroughly sick of pandemic protocols that we'll never get the kind of mask adoption we saw during Covid and even that was abysmal.
Employers will never allow people to work from home again if they can help it, they're still Fighting to claw the rest back now.
