"moloch" isn't an agent that dooms humans from the outside. it is the spawn of human deviation from the utilitarian standard
-
a universe of rational utilitarians has no "moloch" in it. "moloch" is what we call the parts of human vice that we can't work around
-
which is not to say that turning humans into rational utilitarians is the best solution. workarounds are very often more realistic
-
sometimes it's useful to remember that a solution theoretically exist, because otherwise you'll adopt models where it doesn't exist
-
and those models are broken and will cause your behavior to be broken. even if you weren't going to ever use the solution
-
this is very general. denying that what is theoretically best is theoretically best, even if it is not practical, will confuse you

from a false thing everything follows
