      Apparently anti-natalism is becoming more popular in moral philsophy (i.e. utilitarian) circles. Reminds me why I never read moral philosophy.https://quillette.com/2018/12/22/the-anti-natalist-paradox/ …

      Do average humans experience net positive utility now? It's an empirical question. And the answer is a clear yes, according to research on 'subjective well-being'. Could future humans (and other sentient beings) have even higher net utility? Let's find out, why don't we?

      David Deutsch has rarely said anything sensible or well-informed about psychology, as far as I'm aware. Pass.

          That may be because the explantions that deal with psychology are fairly shoddy, wouldn't you agree? That level of emergent

          I would recommend it as a book about science and epistemology and, therefore, relevant in any conversation re: morality. This might, as an added benefit, help someone solving problems in the field of psychology, but it’s not a book that much cares about that subject in particular

          What do you object to, specifically? Is it that a human mind is a universal computer, universal in its ability to create open-ended explanatory knowledge, to anticipate and criticise its own computations - such that inborn ideas can be rendered irrelevant? Or something else?

          @sapinker and @SamHarrisOrg cite Beginning of Infinity as one of their most highly recommended books. That's a very useful heuristic indeed. You should take his ideas seriously and read the books.

          Reality doesn't lend itself to explanations that are not easily varied - hence they are subject to all kinds of shenanigans, no?

          Which measures of subjective well-being were you referring to above?
