Because I don't want everyone to die.

Something occurs to me

If you wanted to push humanity into extinction, then one way to do it is to get them tilting against fantasy threats like diamondoid super-viruses - while refusing to do any tangible work to end capitalism.

Capitalist hyperproduction is already 100% set to destroy us. But let's worry about the thing that doesn't exist, instead. And let's give capitalists even more power to handle the threat, while denying the realism of capitalism induced extinction

It's a little suspicious, right?

I'm not sure about your goals, Hollerith. But me, I would rather accept a 1% chance that fully automated communism can save us, rather than ignore the 100% chance that continued capitalism will delete us.
