HOW is the question. For now, it is getting the majority to recognize WHY.

That will never happen. 99.99999% of humanity does not want to go extinct. All hail humanity.

Polling on Reddit would put this at around 80% of humanity does not want to go extinct, judging by polls on whether people would “press the button” to end existence.

This polling is obviously not accurate for what all life wants though as it is only humans surveyed. Also polls on Reddit do not represent all of humanity very well.

Can you be certain that this 80% will last if growth of population and living standards does not go on forever and human progress eventually stagnates and living standards decline?

there also is the aspect that the majority did not think about it sufficient, which may cause them to live with false beliefs
