@HbdNrx but that's hyper-competitive, and therefore, according to your logic, cool! A more nuanced analysis might suggest need for context. -
@greenrd Competitive breeding races is not the kind of competition I want. -
@greenrd at least not if you guys are going to be working on minimizing everyone's mortality in the process -
@HbdNrx us guys are a tiny drop in the bucket of progress. Less global poverty will happen anyway, we're just maybe making it happen faster. -
@greenrd You should think about the long-term population effects. You're creating a world with a lower % of EAs in the future. -
@greenrd And you're encouraging faster population growth so we all hit resource limits faster.
