The PPShow

Looking for some discussion about a very intriguing concept. Members of this community commonly refer to this concept as MOASS. It doesn't often get discussed directly, but it looms large behind many discussions.

For posterity's sake, I'd love to get some discussion about it directly. It's November 24, 2023. As the future unfolds, I'd like to be able to look back on a discussion like this and see what the thoughts about this idea were at this time.

Here are a couple of questions that might be worthy of discussion.

• What is MOASS?

• What is the probability of this event occurring over what period of time?

• Is it inevitable?

• Is it controversial? If so, why?

• Are many people aware of the idea?

• Of people that are aware of it, there are those that believe that it is a real thing that will happen, and there are those that believe that it is not a real thing that will ever happen. Why do some people believe that it cannot happen?

• Who benefits if MOASS materializes?

• Who does not benefit / who suffers if MOASS materializes?

• Is MOASS potentially an existential threat to some parties? If yes, which parties?

• If MOASS is an existential threat to some parties, and if those parties had an interest in self-preservation, how would they be feeling? How would they be behaving? What actions would they likely be taking in the interest of self-preservation?

• What are some of the implications if/when MOASS materializes?
