What did you come to understand?

Humans did not evolve to be good, but to be effective. In reality, there are no rules and no limits to what they will do. People are programmable. Never trust majorities, because they don't have agency over their morals and beliefs. There is no limit to suffering.

Do you think the the reverse is also true, i.e. that there is no limit to flourishing? And that humans can make infinite progress towards an objective morality?

No, there is no objective morality, death is certain, and in a finite world there is always a limit to growth.

@DavidDeutschOxf The twitterverse would benefit from you and David Deutsch hashing this out: is infinite computation possible and does objective morality exist?1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -
The former depends on the computational class of the universe one is in. An infinite universe is infinitely more expensive to assume. Different ethical calculi lead to different outcomes, but weighting them requires additional preference axioms. Good and bad are not absolute.

Fascinating! Question: How is "expensive" measured in an infinite system?

For instance, there are countable and uncountable infinities. But generally, things become quite counter intuitive if we allow infinity into our world.
