maybe relevant: the ethics of ppl like @elonmusk & @leashless seem to be based largely on goal of mitigating existential risk
Yeeesss… I see what they are doing (and x-risk mitigation in general) as practical, not ethical. Maybe just semantics.
interesting, i gotcha. effective altruism movement seems to frame x-risk mitigation as ethical; guess i inherited their frame
I’m generally aligned with EA, but I think their narrative is somewhat distorted by “mission,” a “confused stance”….
ah, that's really interesting. i'm sure a full-length critique of EA within your framework would interest many people
Too many things to write! And I basically think EA is very good, although a bit distorted in some ways.
The utilitarian framework is a problem partly because it makes it hard to find room for supererogation (and so freedom).
Or, to put the same thing a different way, EA tends to amplify ethical anxiety, which I don’t think is healthy.
ah, yes! i dislike that aspect as well. i don't like the pressure to take the pledges or the apparent ultimatums
Yes, if I were to write a critique, I’d focus there.
