Do we really want an eternal future of artificial scarcity and top-down enforced cultural norms determined by who had first mover advantage in a narrow section of the economy for a certain period of time in the 21st century? Are we seriously doing this?

Like, I blogged about it, but I genuinely believe that the dominant class are just going to kill everyone they don't like using economics and then sift through the dead using simulations in search of whatever value they left behind. And that's fucked up, and not good.

We are headed towards a picture of heaven that is run by Facebook and Google in which God is not the most intelligent or "best" but simply those of sufficient (admittedly large) intelligence who were in the right place in the right time. And that is not a God worth worshiping.

I don't think human worth is equivalent to financial worth, or that it's proportional to intelligence, but I do think certain important things require a modicum of intelligence to do. So I don't support rule of the intelligent, but intelligence is still important for rulership.

No. But an intelligent person is capable of higher level moral reasoning that a less intelligent person might not be capable of, therefore, an intelligent person has both more obligations and a higher capacity for moral behavior than a less intelligent person.
