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 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.

As far as I know (and I know little) they ARE great people. They enrich the world by generating inspiring ideas, most of which they even really care about, which is unusual among philosophers. They have added hours of enjoyment to my mostly unpleasant existence in this universe.
