>> No.15799789

why? the problem with humanity is that it relies on social systems (and every last one is shit) and isn't autotrophic. really almost all our problems stem from heterotrophism.

We don't have to rush it, the reason communism ends up in atrocities and wars is because it was forced top down rather than form organically bottom up, and it was rushed. communists literally believe that you just have to educate people when they're young to not be too selfish lol
so in their minds it would only take one generation.
but if we do it very slowly, like say over a thousand years with genetic engineering and artificial selection then why not?

we tolerate eachother as far as we need eachother. be it for entertainment or work.

because of the environment. the environment favors cooperation. favored it.
the environment which contains godlike tech powers won't reward cooperation as it will reward backstabbing.

if you get more out of crossing someone, then you ever could possibly get (mathematically speaking), cooperating with another human is a huge risk. if the cooperation reward is small to nothing compared to what you get out of backstabbing, eventually someone will do it and get all power.
that depends on the environment, not human nature. this "human nature" is at most a best response for situations in an environment.
this environment half of the equation, this is changing, and with an autonomous and aligned AI system, that is controllable by a single human, changes the environment, and thus the rules.
you can play by old rules, thinking shit, sure. but statistically speaking you will wipe.
if you don't technically need anything from any human, ever, because anything a human can do for you you can now do yourself through the help of said AI system, doing shit with other humans is a major risk.

it's really tripping many of you, the idea of you being completely worthless, I mean practically not some other shit you fantasize about.
the moment you are completely useless, whoever has power does not and will not ever cooperate with you. just like your boss fires you when he doesn't need you anymore. there's not much you can tell your boss to keep you hired, if that job you were doing is not needed anymore. there's no flower power kumbaya speech you can hold in front of your boss, you are gone bro.

not him but it might be impossible, for real, to "get along" as it were. when you factor in everything it doesn't make sense, unless somehow everybody agrees to the rules, instead of just doing whatever the environment permits.
what happens today is not because we're humans and we like cooperation. it's just that in the current setup the environment allows for gains this way. we cooperate because the environment favors it, right now. cooperation is not something we choose, it's something we figured out allows for more. now, at this state of the game.
when the environment changes, some humans will try to speculate it in new ways, if they find something they'll keep using it over and over, because why not, they get more out of it.

you say that like humans are good at reasoning. notice how so frequently the best of intentions tend to overwhelmingly fail so spectacularly. being at the top of the food chain is just a cope in phrasing, what it really means is being the most vulnerable and dependent on other species to survive. plants lacking what humans perceive as reasoning are logarithmically more successful. so we have farming now sure, but most of that is producing assorted carcinogenic slop that just fulfills a caloric intake devoid of other key nutrients plants make all on their own. humans are a species of most-likely-to-be dead end failures that will sooner nuke ourselves into oblivion over petty squabbles than do anything close to being gods living amongst the stars.
