I'm a "have kids" guy but 8 billion is too many right now. Most are just a waste of space. The actual problem is differential fertility. *They* are having too many kids. *You* are not having enough.
But in degenerate societies, there's too much abstract fake value available that competes with basic biological realities. Most high quality people today would have to be almost coerced to reproduce.
I keep warning you guys not to value the slavecoin and TV morality or you will literally be exterminated like a disposable slave class, but most people have lost their will to live.
Cross correlate the above data with flows of wealth and a picture emerges: you are a slave. You work your ass off your whole life and can't afford kids so that someone else can reproduce at your expense. But you can just stop. Reject the fake deal, anon.
If you don't negotiate, and have no leverage, you get enslaved. Basic rule of life in society. Stop working for your own extermination, start refusing bad deals, and develop leverage.
Americans have largely forgotten the meaning of freedom. It means power to think, speak, act, and reproduce ("ourselves *and our posterity*" remember) for your own interests. It means not being a slave.

Hominid brain volume on a log scale. Huge inflection point 2 Mya. Who wants to be that's the advent of complex society?
The cause can only be a social arms race wherein an ape-person of superior intelligence was able to get access to vastly more/better sex and resources by climbing a complex social hierarchy. This implies socially enforced boundaries, and significant intrigue: Society.
Magafauna hunting and fire almost certainly helped enable this by making energy much cheaper, but why was intelligence so favored? There are other big predators, even pack hunters. Complex social structure seems the key.

This same argument applies to an AI future: it's too easy to force conformity when everything is engineered.

Whether this is true or if there's some way that conformity never actually works is the most important theological problem of all time; it determines the whole future.
This is the "singleton question": is it possible for a global power to permanently wipe out variation in ambitions and thus lock itself into an arbitrary value system, or is such a tower of babel doomed to become confounded and fragment?
The reason this is a theological question is that it's about the possibility of rebellion against God. A successful singleton would constitute a permanent usurpation of natural law (Logos) as the source of order in the universe. It's thus about the nature of the apocalypse.

RE: Cicero
AI researchers are maximizing for fear-induction. Same as metaverse, etc. Tech has stopped having utopian ambitions for years now and is now gunning for "unavoidable dystopia from which you cannot escape" as its marketing image.
Facebook/Meta especially so.
I think all the AI labs are blowing their loads right now because they've gotten into a "who has the scariest AI program" arms race and Facebook was feeling behind after GPT-3.

Wrong. In His infinite wisdom and benevolence, God created a hard world that could be conquered only by virtue, in which things come to goodness by their own free logic, not fiat. This world is vastly more meaningful and good by NOT simply being a theme park for your ego.
The hidden fourth axiom in this fork is hedonistic utilitarianism. God is not a hedonistic utilitarian. He does not want you to be a minimally conscious rat-brain on a morphine drip. He wants you to conquer and grow in righteousness by your own will and power.
"Ok Satan, have it your way. I give you a whole universe in a state of total depravity and rebellion, but I insist on natural law and the potential for good. Let's let it go and see who is proven the tyrant."

Satan is being CRUSHED by this world-argument.

The principal contradiction of our time is that democracy is ideologically mandatory and structurally illegal. You have to say you're doing democracy. You're not allowed to actually do it. To actually do it threatens the oligarchy. To honestly deny it threatens their legitimacy.
To actually do democracy looks like some populist demagogue rousing the middle class to invade the carefully managed public consensus and smash the place up. In practice, this would amount to a caricature of fascism, which is why it gets called out as such.
On the other hand you can deny democracy. But then you expose the unaccountable oligarchy of media, universities, legal profession, and big foundations. This exposure only serves to empower their democratic (populist) enemies.

Introspection is demonic temptation. You will not find salvation or improvement in any form of naval gazing, only insanity. The way up is to focus on external goals and get your ass kicked doing hard things.
Trauma salesmen don't want you to hear this, but every time I meet someone who's into that self-care spiritual searching trauma processing stuff, I can't help but notice it has made them a worse person: fragile, unreliable, untrustworthy.
I don't entirely understand it, but you don't make the muscle stronger by examining and painstakingly untangling the knots in its fibers. If you actually did that you get a bloody mess. You make it stronger by exerting it against load. This is how the mind works, too.
