  1. I am from Russia and I agree. Anyone who plays into Putin's plans is unironically evil. Although Musk is evil by himself. He lies all the time, all his reputation is built on lies. Another thing in which he is similar to Putler

  2. Nothing can grow and accelerate forever in real world!

  3. Elon Musk also did it. He cashed out 40 billion of Tesla stock several years ago

  4. Kurzweil is either a liar or motivated by his existential anxiety. He once admitted he took on average 200+ supplements (untested, homeopathic etc. by the way) to "extend gis lifespan to survive to "technological singularity". He is blinded by fear of death. His beliefs are as based in reality as religious beliefs in afterlife. (Which means not at all)

  5. I see many people on youtube and elsewhere engage in useless grandiose fantasies about us colonising whole galaxy for millions or billions of years or even surviving death of Sun or maybe even whole universe... while our current civilization functions as if it plans to exist for 300 years maximum, and then destroy all of its basis (stable biosphere) and die off.

  6. Is rather terrible and tortured most animal subjects to death.

  7. Computers and brains are different. Computers won't be conscious or gain any subjective experience. What hardware is made of, matters. The fact that computers are machines operating under strict rules of mathematics and formal logic, also matters. People who think that computers can do anything that our brains can do, ignore those 2 things

  8. What is in the asteroids? Mineral resources? They are already plentiful on Earth we just quickly use them up, then use up the things we made from them, and throw it away in only few years, without recycling. So all valuable resources are among the trash we create with enormous speed

  9. Noone needs to die. People decide to have less kids when countries become more developed. Facilitate development of the country -> population growth stops.

  10. Musk doesn't want good educated brains, he wants cheap labor which is easy to exploit

  11. Less car-centric development and more public transit should be the future!

  12. Haha, in the year 2525 you will be dead, how does that sound?

  13. Crap, I am so happy I study humble cyanobacteria. Not so much math and no so.many people who think that math is everything

  14. They wanted to colonize and steal everything from indigenous people. Here, fixed it for you! If that is your inspiration, please leave Earth as soon as possible. I don't want to share a planet with you

  15. ​ @bigmock141  which would take more than a 1000 years, and so many resources and money that you can bankrupt whole civilization 😂

  16. ​ @TheGingerjames123  lmao you don't know much about biology hun if you think it can have a significant amount of fossil fuels

  17. That time passage is an illusion is not that hard to realise once you learn anything about physics, it is not some new revelation, it has been first suggested long ago

  18. And if that falls to the surface? Lmao. Just as much of a useless speculation as terraforming Mars at this point. Focus on parts of space exploration and habitation which can be realistically achieved in the next 50 years. Otherwise you are just engaging in idle fantasies pretending to think about important things

  19. Well sooner or later it will happen. And humans are dangerous to the rest of biosphere so... Maybe sooner is better. No need for anyone to die too early, just breed less

  20. Kaku at least is old enough to be going crazy...

  21. Corvids and other birds will always be "smarter" and "more conscious" than any AI which can be produced by a turing machine (computer). So sad some people are not willing to understand that

  22.  @KarlaKloppstock  true. Current social and economic system, addicted to impossible idea of endless growth (and useless grandiose fantasies which overestimate our civilizations' ability to survive without support of viable biosphere) is more likely to destroy civilization in few centuries than save it from anything.

  23. Not all, just the existential threats we created ourselves. Also, we don't really need to go anywhere else. We can, and we want, but don't NEED that

  24. Well, Boström is a philosopher, not a scientist. His hypothesis is philosophical, not scientific. It is impossible to prove right or wrong using science, so...

  25. ​ @rustycherkas8229 the most successful life form in the world are cyanobacteria. They barely changed in the last 2 billion years.I think it says it all.

  31. But in the real world they will be just algorithms with no true subjective experience or self awareness. So that is even worse. We are giving up our civilization for mindless algorithms

  32. There is no reason for humans to populate everything. Including other planets. The population will stabilize, we won't need more area than we already have. Ideas like space colonization and even deep ocean colonization were being spread like crazy in the 60s and 70s when global population growth was on its highest. And people, like 5 year olds couldn't realise, that trends change and such huge population growth won't continue forever.

  33. ​ @pleasedontwatchthese9593  most regular subs don't go very deep. There are only few subs in existence which can go to deepest parts of oceans

  37. Especially if you look far enough into the future (and the past too) - the line between humanity and non-human life forms blurs. Some of your descendants (not mine, I am childfree and anti-natalist!) may change so much after millions of years that we would not consider them "human"

  38. There is also Greenland 😏

  39. The lowest probability of existential threats actually was during our hunter -gatherer stage. Maybe once in 10 k years something like Toba volcano happened, but nowadays we have weapons of mass destruction, and during last 70 years there were already several crises with great probability of nuclear war. What weapons will be possible in the future? The ones that may destroy whole planets? Then it will be even more dangerous. And settling new planets will always be hard and take a long time. When destroying a whole planet becomes easier than to settle one, that is basically game over. The probability of destruction becomes too high, sooner or later it will happen. The more developed civilization, the more dangerous it can be to its own existence. In reality if we evolved back to Australopithecus stage, our genetic descendants would have the highest chance of long-term survival, even though they won't be the same as us (but then we are very different from our primate ancestors, reptile ancestors fish ancestors etc). And the civilization has much bigger chance of just destroying itself. Sad but that is how it is

  40. That is actually smart 😂

  41. It is not infinite universes just one universe following all possible trajectories from big bang to heat death

  42.  @davidschaftenaar6530  yeah the idea that the future is more important is only an illusion created by our brain's perception of "arrow of time" (which is actually just a gradient of entropy)
    1
  43.  @wilhelmu  yup, as an anti-natalist I was repulsed by the FoH institute's idea that we should assure that more people come into existence in the future, as many as possible. Before speaking for the humanity they certainly didn't think that there are many humans who don't agree with their values. Their values are as subjective as anyone's else's

  44. Want before they actually experience living there for at least half a year

  45.  @davidhand9721  their biggest flaw is that they don't realise that estimating the probability of what effect anyone's decisions will have in a really long term future is impossible. It is even impossible to estimate the probability of your estimate being correct

  46. I have an existential crisis when I see what sh*t show is this planet now thanks to this civilization. And the thought of it continuing is rather terrifying. The Earth should return to its natural state

  47. No, just no, this is not how it works. One thing is to put effort into something already tested and known, like how to fight epidemics, or how to develop a vaccine, humanity has been doing it for a long time already. Another thing is an absolutely new technology. Also, I am pretty sure saving human lives is more important and urgent. Yes, imagine old people's lives and lives of people with chronic illness matter as much as yours

  48. I still remember video from years ago I watched in which one of the guys from there said something like "decreasing existential risks even by 1% is more important than anything thus best thing you can do is give money to people who want to decrease existential risks." He literally said "give me money, that's the best you can do" but worded it differently. That is when I first suspected they are not all right

  49. Muskrat always says something stupid. Almost all the time. Yet many gullible people believe he is a "gEnIuS" while all the real work is done by his employees!

  50.  @comradequestion4206  "efficiency is a great way to maximize profit". Artificial inefficiency, like planned obsolescence, is a great way to maximize profit. And it is done all the time.
