Chaotic era: avoid or survive?
After the rest of the USA is destroyed the very unstable situation (especially taking into account how many people have guns) is quite likely. In my opinion countries (and remote parts of countries) that will not be under attack at all are much better
I agree with the point about the continuous ability to suffer rather than a threshold. I totally agree that there is no objective answer, we can’t measure sufferings. The problem is, however, that it leaves a practical question that is not clear how to solve, namely how we should treat other animals and our code.
I like the idea. Basically, you suggest taking the functional approach and advance it. What do you think can be this type of process?
How should we deal with the cases when epistemic rationality contradicts instrumental? For example, we may want to use placebo effect because one of our values is that healthy is better than sick, and less pain is better than more pain. But placebo effect is based on the fact that we believe pill to be a working medicine that is wrong. Is there any way to satisfy both epistemic and instrumental rationality?
