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.

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.

I don't read enough, so I might be unaware of all that good philosophy that is being done? I like Dennett, Metzinger, Drescher and a handful of others because they seem to be not wrong and write well, but it is hard for philosophers to discover something non-obvious these days.

I suspect that like most smart people you are wrong about many things, but most importantly you have not figured out social interaction, and there is something in your mind that is actively preventing you from doing so. (Btw., I am not claiming that I am good at social.)
