Sure, but the universe is also a place where it rains on your head, and then the sun burns your skin off, and wolves casually stroll in and eat your children. That's what the universe does when left to its own devices, and we don't like that, and we change it.
"It is the way it is because it's natural" is a pretty naive fallacy.
- AndrewKemendo 10y agoYou're reading my statement as saying that this is preferable when in fact I'm staying that it's improbable to expect we could do otherwise. Unless you want to go down the AGI/transhumanism path with me, which I doubt you do.
- Florin_Andrei 10y agoIs it "improbable" that we build houses and dams to try and correct traits of the universe that we deem undesirable? Stop typing and look around you. You live in a huge improbability already.
