How did he do it? His essay collection, Read The Sequences, solves every problem in philosophy. I defy you to find me an essay where he is incorrect.

Butterfly, you'll never be as pretty as him. Even in your prime, you were less than his right shoulder, and now, everyday, you age more and more ugly.

I'm serious. His essays are better than Montaigne's. Read this essay about the prisoner's dilemma.

He brings to light the inherent altruistic nature of humans towards humans, so he asks to imagine cooperating with someone inhuman. Point to me a philosopher who does that!

How far up your own ass do you have to be to think that human altruism is somehow a new spin on the prisoner's dilemma? This rando's body of work can safely be disregarded.

The point of that essay is just that selfishness leads to D/D and having mutual interests (e.g. empathy) leads to C/C. How is that groundbreaking?

>> No.18578274

>>18578253
He says that humans are naturally empathetic towards other humans, so he proposes a thought experiment of cooperating with an inhuman AI that shares no mutual interest and effects no empathy. Pretty clever.

Retarded take. The Prisoner's dilemma is designed to put you in a survival scenario that selects against altruism. Also, the dilemma clearly states your life vs another prisoner's life. Not billions of humans vs a paperclip.

You get the same result by doing the experiment with two people that don't care about each other. That's the entire point- how to get people to reliably care about each other to the point of trust.
