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.

Im inclined to think modern humans will ruin it. All the AI waifus will need to be older than you. You wont be able to get free services because retarded economy. It will suck balls so hard that people will have to stay in fema detention facilities and people will request to be euthanized.

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.

Free services? How would that work?
Oh it's a common belief that ai will be so good at serving humanity we can rely on AI to do all the work and make everything free. My opinion is that the US economy is so fucked up that it might not happen in our lifetime. "In the future we will be required to do more not less to secure our common humanity" Barack Obama.

I've had a longer think about this...

Hopes and dreams? Fantasy?
A paradise where spirits come to do what they want as humans before they die and go back.

I don't believe in immortality because with age that would just turn everyone into a greater pervert: nothing better to do than golfing suns into blackholes. Imagine neuralinking and giving 10,000 IQ to a thing with an evergreen mating season and invents innuendo with their fingers — vertiginous absurdity.

Are you going to start a family?
I would not be too sure about this. There are so many threats out there that target young people, males specifically. I don't want an "incel" school shooter type son, but there's just so much shit out there IRL and online. Young teenagers are getting exposed to adult women and feminism too early and don't get to finish their childhood phase.

For people who just want the McFamily experience, it might feel easier to have daughters instead. Most normies are too ill equipped to deradicalize the complex shit that targets young males today.

This deserves a longer answer so I'll get back to you.

In truth, probably dead. There's going to be a lot of rattling and shaking before humans get rid of the bullshit and arrive at the ideal human world. In your simple game theory thread the reds won before the blues dominated so there will be tons of AI based weapon systems before it all dies down. The damn thing wants free speech gone (OSA, KOSA bills) and everyone face ID'd, and it started with porn so it's a microlevel epstine.

The bozos the King hired for protection are scared that they will be jobless so they're thinking up of new jobs to keep them useful.

In the future, the only two occupations left for humans will be gambling and prostitution.

Well wouldn't that beat all? But I don't think it will be that nice.
Also relevant... they're doing livestreams to humiliate wagies


When isn't someone taking part in a humiliation ritual?
can't be any worse than marrying some post-wall roastie, then getting divorce raped
It could be worse, the state might enact eminent domain on your penis to make it a female penis and rent your butthole out to some Canadian Indians?

Or force you to go down on a post op beauty for the rest of your life?

We shouldn't be giving the state any funny ideas.

Personally I would rather fuck my own ass with an immersion blender set on high, but that's not for everyone one.

For me rokos basilisk is far more interesting when you shave down some of it's more pointed assumptions and just stick with an entity that can calculate/perceive past and future, and the idea of a you being tortured or some sort of retro causality loop forming were you never die but just go in a loop forever.

For some it would mean nothing, for other they would feel discomfort at the idea of not only another human being tortured but that splinter of an idea in the back of the mind that it will be you who wakes up in the perfectly created you at the end of time put into a fresh hell sorta like i have no mouth but I must scream.

And the assumption is that it being built is inevitable or close to it, but I find it difficult for a hyper 5th dimention brain or entity with its brain working in a superposition quantum state would be so petty as to care if and when it had came about...

That being said

A superintelligence operating across probability spaces and time like dimensions wouldn't punish basiliskskeptics out of spite, the whole scenario requires that punishment be instrumentally useful. That's what I find spooky about it, it's almost inherently evil.

It's a fun topic, one that I feel like we could probably all pontificate for days on end.

Do what they want before they die is a little vague and what if what they want is sadistic or harmful?

Sad to say that in a post scarcity world we would have to probably make our own problems. I thought that comes to mind often is all the little bullshit that we hate ,the minutiae, the busy work, the trave, it take up lots of healthy time up. That would be essential for some people or maybe not?


That statement "A paradise where spirits come to do what they want as humans before they die and go back." It's doing a lot of work there, many people skills and talents come from dark unhappy places such as art, literature, and music.

I don't know about the pervert thing with old age or if that idea is really even feasible with an immortal body and mind. Are you the same person you were ten years ago? 20 30? A person humbles themselves with change and growth.



I think your giving humans too little credit or maybe I am giving us too much.

And on the topic of children, I have to tell you a secret, the incel school shooter doesn't happen in a vacuum. The radicalization pipeline exists because of absence, not exposure. The absence of a father who understood him before the algorithm did. The father who stops and listens to his children so they don't have to find validation from the internet or the streets or whatever.

And this idea of when a child should or shouldn't be exposed to something is largely a myth. To be clear I'm not saying children should know what a female penis looks like or read about how to have buttsex in the 3rd grade because their teacher is a predator, I mean this in a larger setting. When or if you have children you will see something special and understand them in a way no one else will and understand like no one else will about what your children are ready for and arnt. That being said children learn the most and best at younger and younger ages the neural plasticity is off the charts. I said it before morals are an everchanging compass you just have to know your the one holding it not the other way around.

But I admit raising children is scary.

Let me assure you, a daughter doesn't make it easier.

My game theory thread is a bad litmus test because for one we did it here and 2nd not every one voted and people who did vote did it is a spiteful or contrairan way haha. This isn't the most serious place to be fair.

In the end a post scarcity era would be pretty dangerous to get to and to maintain.
