Well, okay, but the Weirdtopia thesis under consideration makes the empirical falsifiable prediction that “as long as you damn well please” isn’t actually a very long time. Also, I call scope neglect: your puny human brain can model some aspects of your local environment, which is a tiny fraction of this Earth, but you’re simply not competent to judge the entire future, which is much larger.

I would like to point out that you’re probably replying to your past self. This gives me significant amusement.
