#ElonMusk's motivation

(1/2)

"Elon is dying to do this...

It makes me wonder why...
Does he want to get even more power?"

-》 I think at this point, I should point you to the dangerous family of sects (#TESCREAL) #Musk belongs to with his #Longtermism:

#Transhumanism, #Extropianism,
#Singularitarianism, #Cosmism,
#Rationalism,
#EffectiveAltruism, and #Longtermism.

In this week’s roundup, the couple who’ve made themselves the face of pronatalism keep their kids in a freezing home (they say by choice) and slap them to teach them right from wrong because they saw tigers paw their cubs in the wild.

Plus, Google’s AI fail, Kenyan workers write letter to Joe Biden, and more!

Struggling courageously through a debilitating bout of man flu, I stumbled across this demolition of #evolutionaryPsychology and incidentally #effectiveAltruism by münecat as I manfully lay on the couch all day.

Part #rockOpera, part comedy, part wild ride but always insightful as she shreds their shoddy research.

Every single minute was worth it.

This may well fit into your special interests @slackbastard @sexenheimer @jwz @dgar

Good riddance to what was a colossal waste of money, energy, resources, and any sane person's time, intellect, and attention. To even call these as exploratory projects is a disservice to human endeavor.

"Future of humanity", it seems. These guys can't even predict their next bowel movement, but somehow prognosticate about the long term future of humanity, singularity blah blah. This is what "philosophy" has come to with silicon valley and its money power: demented behavior is incentivized, douchery is rationalized, while reason is jettisoned.

"It is plainly obvious to everyone that if you’re going to save the world, one of the first things you have to do is buy a 550-year-old British castle near the University of Oxford for about $15 million. This was the logic in 2021 when members of the so-called Effective Altruism movement’s signature institution bought a posh, 25-bedroom residence called Wytham Abbey as a place to have conferences and stage other various intellectual frolics."

@wjmaggos Consequentalist ethics seem to make a lot of sense in the abstract, but it's not hard to find problem cases. The focus of #EffectiveAltruism on many humans in the distant future made it particularly easy to justify sketchy actions in the here and now.

Some highlights:

• "punctuated equilibrium"
• "demand elasticity in the presence of complementarity"
• banning AI for electioneering
• objections to universal basic income
• "registered reports" in scientific journals to discourage "P hacking"
• universal versus means-tested wealth redistribution
• bringing down the cost curve for green tech
• encouraging political advocacy versus lifestyle changes
• moral intuitions versus moral actions in eating
