I think that is a fake justification for feeling guilt. I very much doubt that search setting out to find the optimal way to mobilize humanity against oppression would spit out “make everyone feel guilty”, when that also happens to be the output of the badly flawed moral feelings system.
Yes, I’m highly doubtful on the value of guilt trips as a tactical tool. I’m have this vague meta (and therefore mostly pointless) discussion about my frustrations about eridu’s tactics and goals—and the rest of y’all are taking me seriously on the object level.
Ceteris paribus, it is better to not feel guilty and to do better whenever you find a better way to do things, than to feel guilty and do better whenever you find a better way to do things, IMO. By that logic, I can in good conscience never feel guilty about the world I live in despite correcting for scope insensitivity, and thus still survive and not break down in a fit of guilt overload that would lead to suicide despite aware knowledge of all the horrible stuff that happens all the time.

This makes things a lot clearer. I agree.

Oh, sorry.
