I don’t understand what “true” means in this case. (And this is not meant as a trick question, nyan.) Do you mean “Are its goals self-consistent and/or feasible”? Or do you mean “true” as “ethical”? Or something else?
Obviously the first move will be “does that even mean anything?” (no), and then maybe an attack on coming up with some questions we can answer.
But rationality sometimes has to start from meaningless questions, so we are going to start the practice from a meaningless question that actually came up and we actually failed at.

Hmmm. My guess is that it’s ‘Correct or not?: Humans can use tech to improve ourselves and end death, and should do so.’ But still, wtf.
