Spoken like a true apex predator in his prime! The sorting hat calls you into the house of Fascism, oh dark one.

That's pretty funny, given that you are speaking to a homeless woman. Also, evolution always moves things towards more prosocial cooperation, and weeds out the predatory dinosaurs. Fitness = being a part of something greater than oneself.

I am not judging! Also, the predatory dinosaurs were only killed by a meteor. And the strongest predators right now are groups with internal prosocial cooperation and external ruthlessness.

You were assuming. And natural selection does indeed sometimes involve giant catastrophies. The dinosaurs of human society will encounter a memetic meteor sooner or later, and us actually prosocial, collaborative types will win out.

I think I agree: eventually, all that can be conquered will be won, and all that remains is coordination. Alas, I think climate change will make much of the planet uninhabitable for us, and this may wipe out civilization

In my understanding of physics, all possible futures happen, and it's the ones that we are looking for (expect) that we end up in, as individuals. The old quantum-wave-form-collapsing-depending-on-how-you-observe-things thing. You might end up there, while I don't.

This understanding of physics might be mistaken; you should try to derive this result from first principles by yourself, so you get an idea of the lay of the land in foundational physics

Also, what are these "first principles" you are speaking of? And why do you assume I have not derived my result from them?

I do not have any interesting assumptions about you, because I received only about 500 bits from you. I only react to those 500 bits, not to you as a person. (Nobody ever reacts to us as a person, not even ourselves, but that is a different story.)

You did make an assumption when you told me what I "should" do, because that logically implies that I have not already done it.

The object of "you" in that tweet is not you as a person, but merely the exploring mind that has entered the "reality is caused by motivated observation" belief attractor of the hypothesis space.
