    Why would sapients suffer and die? Surely the culture and government that they generate there is just as good as the culture and government that they'd generate here?https://twitter.com/ESYudkowsky/status/1016730992856330240 …

    You say your country can't handle lots of immigration? Maybe you're right. I also suspect your country is too stupid for that, if it believes haircuts should require licenses. But if you're not *horrified* by leaving behind so many sapients to suffer or die, you might be evil.

        FWIW, America punches 30% above its weight. It's the richest large country in the world, and has the institutions and capacity of a low-tier Western European nation.

        European countries punched well above their weight, until they started adopting the institutions of a modern European country.

        Sounds like the non-evil course of action would be to organize coups and benevolently govern their countries as charitable colonies. Or we could bring in large numbers of immigrants, but not enfranchise them or any of their descendants.

        sapients are suffering and dying? this is of the greatest moral weight, clearly something must be done. but migration helps only those few who can manage it. clearly the utility-maximizing move is to conquer the relevant territory and forcibly depose those causing the suffering.

        If somebody demands that you implement their one specific solution, and refuse to consider any alternative solutions, they're probably lying to you about what they think the problem is.

        Why on Earth would it be? As a trivial example, even if we assume culture is somehow innate and context- independent, why would Jewish refugees from Germany recreate Nazi culture when they're different groups?
