Could have been better, but thanks a lot for articulating some of my thots on Hanson’s em-ghetto future.
I realized Hanson’s future was a problematic outcome when he said that people would get used to it, as they had gotten used to all the previous tragedies of the human condition (agriculture, division of labour, slavery, industrial revolution, etc).
This is a really important subject, hopefully we can have more posts and discussions on it.
Indeed, That particular idea of Hanson’s is a sympthom of rather undesirable meta-thinking, but in itself it’s rather useful, insofar as it draws our attention to the issue.
