@PonyPanda I think that implies that there's something magical about #2 leading to #3, and I think there's a natural explanation for that. Something about groupthink, excessive self-confidence, excessively underestimating an opponent, some human law about people feeling like they're in the "surround the downed opponent and kick it repeatedly" stage of an unfair fight.
And some people escape the trap, by responding in an actually thoughtful way. When the SMO kicked off and everyone put out their statement on Russia, most of them were *insane*, like the CEO was under such pressure that he was more terrified of demonstrating independent thought than he was of permanently maiming his own business, and a few were "war? yeah we don't like war. Ukraine has some refugees now and we're going to support them."

What I'm saying that however this happens, it's happened, and the resulting loss of respect has people looking for new international institutions. NATO's a warmonger provoker of war, so India won't join that. If you use American finance then the Americans can pull it and then point and laugh and mock your people for relying on it, so nobody wants that. Macron hasn't said "we want to join BRICS" but "please sirs may I attend BRICS" and one potential reason is that he wants to be able to talk with them, or Russia specifically. Is the UN also not good enough for *talking* now?

@LukeAlmighty @dave it's the next guy's problem infinitely, which means nobody ever has to die, which also means that more and more humans will have to be created just to be strapped to the rails, which means that (until the god's power is exhausted, that's foolishly offering this test) humanity is WINNING the galactic out-populate-them contest that's going on right now that nobody's told you about.

The danger is that after building up to quadrillions of potential victims, that you hit an evil enough or stupid enough person that they kill people unnecessarily, and humanity is immediately extinct instead. Which is why the lever's most likely to pulled at small numbers, as people realize what shaky ground they're relying on and prefer small numbers of dead, then maybe less likely as the numbers become oppressively large (I'm REALLY SURE that some asshole's going to pull the lever at a worse stage, but a billion people... I just can't), and then inevitably the lever will be pulled.

Which means this test can really be summarized as:
>Does anyone in your species have mental illness?
>If it does and you're insufficiently cautious of that, your entire species will be annihilated.
Which is a way of allowing two kinds of adults onto the galactic scene: angels, and non-angels who can be expected to apply some group restraint.
