thread #2 on holding space: a deeper, more personal & unhinged take with a plot twist

I've been looking into the AI alignment problem last couple of days and came up with the following summary of what problems there are and why. Also, I'd prefer using the umbrella name of Human alignment problem, as AI alignment is just a subset of it. The problem is that we don't know what we want.
