  2. Jul 23, 2023Twitter · repostRT @Avirtualfuture: @gfodor i think that there should be more distinct goal based accelerationisms that can be discarded once goals are met…
  3. Jul 23, 2023Twitter · reply@mezaoptimizer @scholarsmate8 this belief carries over to e/acc (lack of) internal consistency & structure- we want to try all the paths and not suppress heretical exploration- there's a meme that everyone is an e/acc "founder" bec everyone is formulating their own version of e/acc
  4. Jul 23, 2023Twitter · reply@mezaoptimizer @scholarsmate8 where these debates usually land is that when you zoom out to millions of years the definition of a "species" gets blurry... and that we shouldn't be trying to lock in today's exact gene pool & meme pool ... refusing to evolve means fighting the force that created us
  5. Jul 23, 2023Twitter · quote@mezaoptimizer @scholarsmate8 as someone who was there from the early days, there's always been a variety of beliefs within e/acc abt the long term future of "humanity" https://x.com/foomagemindset/status/1683123486175248385

  10. Jul 23, 2023Twitter · repostRT @JCorvinusVR: e/acc picking up the torch of transhumanism that the ea doomers have abandoned
  11. Jul 23, 2023Twitter · reply@fun_vampire0 @a_musingcat I don't think so? ofc you'd want to ensure arms length from any particular contracts, just budget categories not earmarks... but wealthy ppl like public goods too, no?
  12. Jul 23, 2023Twitter · reply@HiFromMichaelV @scholarsmate8 I like neolib "Abundance Agenda" - call it by the real goal, rather than the process to get there- and the goal is lots more of all the good stuff
  13. Jul 23, 2023Twitter · reply@a_musingcat like, current incentives are wrong- I know quakers who intentionally live low-income lifestyle so they don't pay income taxes that would go towards DoD funding... in this alternative they would be incentivized to pay more taxes and direct the spending towards peace
  14. Jul 23, 2023Twitter · reply@a_musingcat yeah, *their* taxes! I'm ok w requiring everyone to pay (tho should be simpler to calculate), but let the payers decide on the budget

  55. Jul 22, 2023Twitter · reply@Owen_Roe a lot of it feels like grown adults still shrieking for mommy and daddy to fix it! for them... like, idk why so many ppl don't have the realization that life isn't inherently fair and doesn't owe them anything, it's only what we choose to make of it
  56. Jul 22, 2023Twitter · reply@yacineMTB @goth600 miss him want him back
  57. Jul 22, 2023Twitter · reply@Roko__eth I believe there are projects that ppl wanted to do if they'd had more funding... but maybe they're just not that valuable vs the cost to do them?
  58. Jul 22, 2023Twitter · reply@Roko__eth underfunded in what sense? if the Ratosphere is generating real value for ppl beyond the community why are they unable to capture it as profit?
