OB then LW were the ‘step beyond’ to take after philosophy, not that I was seriously studying it.
to be honest I don’t think there’s much going on these day new-topic-wise, so I’m here less often. but I do come back whenever I’m bored, so at first “pure desire to learn” then “entertainment” would be my reasons ..
oh and a major part of my goals in life is formed by religion, ie. saving humanity from itself and whatever follows, this is more ideological than actual at this point in time, but anyway, that goal is furthered by learning more about AI/futurism, the rationality part less so, as I already had an intuitive grasp of it you could say, and really all it takes is reading the sequences with their occasional flaws/too strong assertions, the futurism part is more speculative-and interesting- so it’s my main focus, along with the moral questions it brings, though there is no dichotomy to speak of if you consider this a personal blog rather than book or something similar.
hope this helped :)
it’ll probably save a lot of time to discuss the particulars of your belief in God instead of going meta. ie. ‘God’ is a very specific entity, discussing the specifics instead of imagined abstractions is more useful.
