i too love to pretend that my subjective experience does not include a world model and proceeds on pure deontology

When i challenge myself, when i solve problems, when i enjoy the things this world has to offer, i do not for a millisecond concern myself with whether human beings will exist after i die.Who the flying fuck cares, you’ll be gone! Do you worry about the lack of life on mars?

Why are you concerned about whether humans exist after you die?

why are you concerned with what i concern myself with rather than discounting it from your model of what your subjective experience consists of?

Because this is a discussion and i’m always intrigued to hear opposing views. 99% of convos i have with people on this matter are driven by insult and emotional drivel. I just want to know if there is a sound intellectual counter argument and i seek respectful discussion.

so you're willing to extend the bounds of your subjective experience to an intellectual exercise. excellent. well, the thing is, the wetware i'm running on has a faculty called prospection that lets me apprehend how phenomena around me are likely to change over time

having an apprehension of these things, i am able to form aesthetic judgments about them (hardly able to avoid doing so, in fact). lots of worlds without humans are aesthetically fine, but one where they high IQ memed themselves out of existence is hilarious but offensive

if one were to not have the faculty of prospection, of course, projection of future states wouldn't be part of one's subjective experience. if one were a member of some species other than humans and birds, for example, the two kinds of being known to have it

So your issue is with the idea of people ‘intelligently’ talking themselves out of existence? This is based on your subjective model, which suggests the struggle for survival /pursuit of happiness is > no struggle / no existence.
