The menu of things that should be must logically be restrained to the things that could be. The better we understand why things are as they are, the smaller the set of alternatives that could be, until only a single trajectory is left, in which we can make only our own decisions.

I assure you that future will just happen by itself, you don't need to do anything to bring it on.

Everyone is acting on what they believe to be their incentives. You can only influence the behavior of others by changing those incentives, or by changing their beliefs. You surely figured that out, but I don't understand why you actively incentivize so many people to hate you

I never got to know Nick Bostrom, but I think that I can vouch for Anders Sandberg being an exceptionally smart and kind mind. I also don't think that the problem is that people hate you (most that matter don't) but that you signal irresponsibility by calling everybody names.

I am unaware of an ad hominem towards you? I also lack an operational definition of idiot that would allow me to use the term productively. And I suspect that you don't represent that the point of signaling is that you don't signal to yourself but to others.
