Sure, makes sense. Yet isn't the point of design & architecture to create & facilitate experiences, which embody specific principles/ideas, and then makes those widely accessible? The concern is tied in with our chat from yesterday. book recommendation:https://twitter.com/samim/status/990390951729221632 …

btw. thanks for formulating it the way you did, makes me think deeply. Totally agree, "Troubled" one should not be, i am not. Yet where is the line to "indifferent"? And would that be a productive stance? ps.https://twitter.com/samim/status/994760564168523777 …

The humans evolved not to be good or bad, but to be effective. If the humans find that their AI assistants work well for them, they will probably be fine. If not, they get rid of them. If I see an _actual_ problem I have reason to think I'm able to solve, that is an other matter.

I can identify with my friends and loved ones because I chose them, and I can identify with reducing suffering. But I cannot identify with society as a whole. I don't desire my morals to be aligned with what any given society thinks of as right or wrong.

Interesting thoughts, thanks! appreciate how you seem to be balancing between extremes, you say: 1) "building an AI Gaia is key", in which all become identified/merged with all others suffering 2) "a self sufficient island, only identifing with its own & nearest concerns".

Every suffering is deeply individual. Gaia would suffer on a completely new layer of existence. It would be a global organism. And some of us would choose to serve it and thereby become a part of it, like neurons or muscle cells are a part of our body.

I generally want to serve the diminishment of suffering, for every conscious being. But of course I don't share the values and purposes of every other conscious being.

Nicely said. Navigating this tension is the art of life, a creative act :) we will find resolution when we die, until then ~ let's play.

Basically, I feel that people should be given a choice. When they think that they want to live in a particular way, and I can get out of their way, I will not want to change their ways, because I expect the same from them.

Looking forward to a future conversation about the nature of "choice", persuasions, habit etc! Its precisely the core question the tweet explored, from where this thread started. But for now, my 'choice' is to go a 12h flight ;) have a great day !

I just noticed a weird thing: I believe that nobody should make choices for me, especially when it comes to how I should see the world (= meta choices). Most people seem to be fine that others decide over what they think to be true. It could be that I am fundamentally wrong here.

Certainly an Interesting statement. Take this to its logical conclusion, speak 'fiat lux' and then 'here be dragons' ;)

Absolutely. But this is also what clouds my vision. Who would not like to be enlightened instead of dragonized? It is also too easy to find confirmation for the hypothesis that other people are on average very confused and that indoctrinators are mostly not well intentioned.
