Evolution is a fascist slaughterhouse. Nothing is the universe has caused more suffering than evolution. Perhaps we can use AI to end it?

Your words imply a degree of intentionality: evolution is as indifferent to all life just as the sea is indifferent to me when I step from the shore.

Fascism is the only form of state level social organization that is fully aware of evolution, and embraces group selection as normative purpose. Evolution is racist, speciecist and genocidal: not intentionally, but via functional emergence.

I don’t think evolution is unfair, because fairness depends on the rules of the game, and evolution is a game in which you cannot cheat if you play it. And there are local optima that may prevent society from falling into the attractor of the global optimum.

Also, my ideas of good and evil must be kept in a different place than my own moral programs. I try to understand which bits need to be flipped to turn one person into another. In understanding I try to be everyone, every possible self consistent mind.

What are the dangers of trying to understand everything and be "everyone" (a attempt at extreme info compression)? The probability of ending up just confused and a "nobody" strike me as high. Beyond that, agree that believes are just a tool - yet morality still important/useful

At my most unconfused level, I am really nobody. I am just a story generated in a mind. That most basic identification, my mind, is a thing that makes models, if something makes it do so. Morality does not exist at this level, just as atoms have no temperature.

Agree with that view: "At my most unconfused level, I am really nobody." - No Thing > beyond space/time ;)

It seems to me that you can shortcircuit space and time representations and still experience pain. You may need to dissociate/detach from relevance meanings, not from structural meanings.
