I would have chosen the original ending of Three World Collide over the “true” ending, and would be, if not entirely pleased, at least optimistic with respects to the outcome of Failed Utopia #4-2.
Judging from the comments on Failed Utopia #4-2, you are far from alone on that one. Even EY, for all that he asserted that people were just claiming to be OK with it to be contrary, eventually conceded that he would choose that world over the current state of affairs. As would I.
That was because they didn’t have the same impending doom of existential risk hanging directly over their heads and people weren’t dying all the time, it wasn’t a function of “yay more people are HAPPY”.
I didn’t mean to suggest that you viewed it as a perfect win condition, nor that you believed peoples’ HAPPY level was the most important factor; sorry if it came across that way.
