Sent this to my dad, who is an old man as far outside the rationalist bubble as you could possibly be. Doesn’t even know why we’re worried about AGI, but he replied:
No one gets out alive. No one. You should pray.
Somehow it helped me cope.
This was moving for me.
I’ve had in my head all day Leonard Cohen’s song “You got me singing,” which he wrote toward the end of his life, watching death approach.
Well, I’m sure listening to that is going to be difficult. I’ll listen to it sometime when I’m alone and have space to weep.
I personally find it relatively gentle and reminding-toward-beauty, but YMMV. Lyrics.
There are no atheists in god-building doomsday cults.
