@kaliagainstallodds We never knew how to think about anything. That's been a given since we exist and probably will stay like that forever. That's not special about this age.

We never knew how exactly others do their work and what follows from that. We always had abstract and incomplete heuristics and failed to succeed with each of them at some point.

What is special in this age (1700-...) is that we turned that many resources into individuals and that we fear the regress when resources deplete. #longtermism

Finally updated my #profile at speakerinnen.org :awesome:

Are you looking for a #talk, a #workshop or an #interview on the #socialimpact of #digitalization?

On #ai, #sustainability or #ideologies behind digitalization as #cybernetics, #gamification, #longtermism, or #effectivealtruism?

Why the thoughts and theories of those in power heavily influence societies?

Are you looking for a #workshop on how to really interest people in #computersecurity?

Contact me.

And #boost if you like

» One must wonder, when MacAskill implicitly asks "What do we owe the future?" whose future he's talking about. The future of indigenous peoples? The future of the world's nearly 2 billion Muslims? The future of the Global South? The future of the environment, ecosystems and our fellow living creatures here on Earth? I don't think I need to answer those questions for you. «

Ja, @Aulmeyer - so sehe ich das auch.

Der Fossilismus, der in der US-Politikwissenschaft auch #Petromaskulinismus genannt wird, ist eine kulturelle Prägung und Strömung, die meist reaktant und als vermeintlich „natürlich“ unbewusst gelebt wird.

Dagegen ist der sog. #Longtermism auch eine bewusste Entscheidung „gegen“ Mitmenschen und Mitwelt. Er basiert auf dem alten #Sozialdarwinismus & ist meist eine bewusste Entscheidung oft auch im Kontext von #Transhumanisnus. scilogs.spektrum.de/natur-des-

@sonjdol @lavaeolus

Ich bin dabei, ein Forum zu etablieren, dass den politischen Einfluss von #longtermism und Transhumanismus dokumentiert. Habe dazu auch ein Unterforum zur Entwicklung in den USA. Würde mich freuen, wenn jemand Lust hat zu kollaborieren und interessante Links und Texte zu sammeln. Oder auch wenn die Quellensammlung die da nach und nach erarbeitet wird, von anderen Projekten genutzt wird.

Continued thread

On its search for truth, free speech absolutism quickly gets stuck in a local minimum. A state which rapidly gets harder and harder to escape because if it's inherent degenerative nature.

So if one for example say that one adheres to #Longtermism and free speech absolutism, one is an irrational actor since they're not compatible given available empirical evidence and basic deduction.
