all conceptions of post-scarcity are narrowly subjective "scarcity", if it's a fundamental problem (which thank god it is), is what drives us to progress sacrificing all progress- *all meaning outside a definition of scarcity*- to solve a *sliver* of scarcity, is nihilistic

I don't know what any of this means

what cost are you willing to pay (or cause other people to pay, which is the real question) to achieve "post-scarcity"? that's you choosing, politically, what meaning will be discarded for *your* meaning this is nihilism (if you even care about nihilism)

The destruction of all self-described modes of authenticity that are inseparable from biology.

cockroaches follow a biological meaning are... you team cockroach i mean, wholly diving into nihilism here is at least a position i can engage with, i love talking about meaning

I literally said I want to abolish biology. That is anti team cockroach. And I am substantially more nihilistic than most people, yes. But not a pure nihilist as you keep suggesting.

ah, sorry i misunderstood (i was actually surprised, it didn't seem like you were *remotely* team cockroach, at all, in any of our discourse!) tho, i would argue that abolishing biology is a spook, too ems are biological- they require sustenance, and arguably would reproduce

the problems of biology aren't our biggest problems, tho- and solving them at the cost of being able to solve *other* problems (disabling the meta-problem context) would be.. bad (if you accept my givens, which you don't need to of course)
