I recently read his Fnargl series of posts and the posts on his political journey from Mises to Carlyle and why he is no longer a Libertarian.
I have also read and tried to understand (I probably misunderstand) Eliezer’s posts & debates on FOOM, CEV etc.
So, here is a (mostly tongue-in-cheek) scenario combining both Eliezer and Moldbug’s ideas.
The FAI (obviously having the powers of the Fnargl-Alien and more) functions as the ideal global Sovereign/Govt—ie, it perfectly enforces all rights of all sentient creatures, functions with an infinite time horizon and protects the planet and all future abodes from other-worldly threats (asteroids and so on).
Whether CEV leads the FAI to the same conclusion, I cannot know. But I sure hope so.
Thanks, Multiheaded.
Wonder what a FAI would know about human motivations, dynamics and joys that we don’t and thus it chooses differently from the scenario above.
