@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
@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
@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
