All in all, 77 people responded. It seems we do drink the Kool-Aid! Of the substantial questions, the most contentious ones were “many clones” and timeless physics, and even they got over 50%. Thanks to everyone who responded!
I want people to cut off my head when I’m medically dead, so my head can be preserved and I can come back to life in the (far far) future. Agree 73%

It is possible to run a person on Conways Game of Life. This would be a person as real as you or me, and wouldn’t be able to tell he’s in a virtual world because it looks exactly like ours. Agree 90%
Disagree 10%
Right now there exist many copies/clones of you, some of which are blissfully happy and some of which are being tortured and we should not care about this at all. Agree 53%
Disagree 47%
Most scientists disagree with this but that’s just because it sounds counter-intuitive and scientists are biased against counterintuitive explanations. Agree 32%
Disagree 68%
Besides, the scientific method is wrong because it is in conflict with probability theory. Agree 23%
Disagree 77%
Oh, and probability is created by humans, it doesn’t exist in the universe. Agree 77%

Every fraction of a second you split into thousands of copies of yourself. Agree 74%
Disagree 26%
Of course you cannot detect these copies scientifically, but that because science is wrong and stupid. Agree 7%
Disagree 93%
In fact, it’s not just people that split but the entire universe splits over and over. Agree 77%

Time isn’t real. There is no flow of time from 0 to now. All your future and past selves just exist. Agree 53%

Computers will soon become so fast that AI researchers will be able to create an artificial intelligence that’s smarter than any human. When this happens humanity will probably be wiped out. Agree 68%
Disagree 32%
To protect us against computers destroying humanity we must create a super-powerful computer that won’t destroy humanity. Agree 70%
Disagree 30%
Ethics are very important and we must take extreme caution to make sure we do the right thing. Agree 82%
Disagree 18%
Also, we sometimes prefer torture to dust-specs. Agree 69%
Disagree 31%
If everything goes to plan a super computer will solve all problems (disease, famine, aging) and turn us into super humans who can then go on to explore the galaxy and have fun. Agree 79%
Disagree 21%
the truth of all these statements is completely obvious to those who take the time to study the underlying arguments. People who disagree are just dumb, irrational, miseducated or a combination thereof. Agree 27%

I learned this all from this website by these guys who want us to give them our money. Agree 66%
