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

Sunlight or nuclear power don't require death though. The electrons are going to radiate anyway. The stars are going to die one day anyway.

carbon fuels don't *necessarily* require death, either (i mean, except plants, millions of years ago, but that's not an obvious moral consideration) but biological scarcity, with quadrillions of ems vying for life, isn't necessarily solved
