If the future being “unevenly distributed” means some people get to live a couple of orders of magnitude longer than others, or get a galaxy vs. several solar systems, and everybody’s basically happy, then I would not be as concerned. If it means turning me into some tech emperor’s thrall or generating myriads of slaves that experience large amounts of psychological distress, then I am much more uncomfortable with that.
Yes, there can still be better and worse. But the range of scenarios we’re talking about are from the viewpoint of the present day just stuff that we’re making up, unconstrained by anything but our imaginations.
