@VesselOfSpirit there are other ways to view it, like, they're following evolutionary meta-incentives to not fuck with others too much -
@VesselOfSpirit or that they lack the ability to flawlessly tell what they could get away with and are being cautious. -
@VesselOfSpirit I think this is how EY views ethics, or at least that's what I took away from his articles -
@admittedlyhuman suppose you have a machine that harnesses chimpanzees trying to bash each other's brains in to generate power -
@admittedlyhuman but suppose the machine isn't strong enough and it can't contain the chimpanzees and they bash each other's brains in -
@admittedlyhuman all i'm saying is, let's not pretend that "the machine is broken" is the complete cause of the problem -
@admittedlyhuman and let's not pretend that "chimpanzees are aggressive" isn't also part of the problem -
@admittedlyhuman particularly if it's a chimpanzee bashing a chimpanzee's brain in that's making the argument
