I'd want to carefully and lovingly deconstruct and rebuild the machinery of our own minds, so we can be more ourselves. World building comes after mind building.

what do you mean by becoming 'more ourselves'? I mean, which aspects of your current mind aren't sufficiently yourself?

I think that we have a core motivation that we scale into an aesthetic for how we want the universe and our interaction with it to be. We develop mental machinery to that end, which colonizes us, and sometimes does not serve us well, leading to self modeling defects and suffering

I'd be worried that the same appetite that created this machinery would seize that chance to reassemble _everything_ for its purposes, i.e. that the attempt to reengineer the mind to be radically 'like myself' could mean handing the keys to a some half-baked narrative
