godsmarginer

Godsmarginer is a term used in certain online communities, particularly those associated with fringe political or philosophical discussions. It generally refers to a perceived existential or cosmic risk that is so improbable or so far removed from immediate human concerns that it is often ignored or dismissed. The "gods" aspect implies a scale of importance or impact that is beyond human control, while "marginer" suggests it lies on the periphery of our awareness or consideration.

The concept often arises when discussing long-term existential threats, such as the possibility of an advanced alien civilization posing a threat, or highly improbable but catastrophic natural events. Proponents of the term argue that while these risks are exceedingly unlikely, their potential consequences are so immense that they warrant some level of attention, even if it's just a theoretical acknowledgment. Critics, however, often view the concept as a distraction from more pressing and immediate global issues, arguing that resources and attention are better focused on tangible problems like climate change or poverty. The term itself is not widely recognized in academic or mainstream discourse.
