What I don’t understand is that we live on a planet, where we don’t have all people with significant loose change
A) signing up for cryonics B) super-saturating the coffers of life-extensionists, extinction-risk-reducers, and AGI developers.
Instead we currently live on a planet, where their combined (probably) trillions of currency units are doing nothing but bloating as 1s and 0s on hard drives.
Can someone explain why?
“The standard rebuttal is that evil is Man’s own fault,”
There is no evil. There is neutrality. The universe isn’t man’s fault; it isn’t anyone’s fault.
I’m not at all saddened by these facts. My emotional state is unaltered. It’s because I take them neutrally.
I’ve experienced severe pain enough to know that A) Torture works. Really. It does. If you don’t believe it, try it. It’ll be a short lesson. B) Pain is not such a big deal. It’s just an avoid-this-at-all-cost -signal. Sure, I’m in agony, sure, I’d hate to remain in a situation where that signal doesn’t go away, but it still is just a signal.
Perhaps as you look at some spot in the sky, they’ve already—neutrality allowing—tamed neutrality there; made it Friendly.
We’ve got a project to finish.
