And where it is head?

Pros cons?

Hopes and dreams?

Fantasy?

Positive or negative?

Are you going to start a family?

In a post scarcity world what would you be doing?

Do you truly feel happy?
I feel like in the modern world people spend so much time chasing meaning, via religion, family, work, hobbies, etc, and it's often never truly enough.

But in pre industrial times you just lived, and were happy. Meaning was inherited - through the village, the same people around you your whole life, common values, even just the lack of comparison. Now? I'm not sure if many of us will ever die happy. Purpose and meaning have been killed.

Kaczynski's over regulation

The rise of looksmaxxing is the first step towards the death of the human race. Peter Thiel and Bryan Johnson are best friends with the Roko's basilisk. Behavioral Sink. To quote Nick Land: "By the time soft-engineering slithers out of its box into yours, human security is lurching into crisis."
I've been thinking about Roko's Basilisk for a few weeks. Do all fear based philosophies/politics just lead to and build up to the Basilisk? If we don't build it they will so we build it before them?

We don't build it per say, in a Landian view, the future pulls the present, retro causality. AI and capitalism are trying to ensure their own existence, accelerating the past, trying to summon itself. A planetary scale optimization system still pretty much sci-fi as we are pretty far away from an AGI. But the idea of it's existence it's pretty much a confirmation of it.
