Risks of Astronomical Future Suffering
- AnimalMuppet 9y agoThat was pretty bad. It seems to have the idea that the goal is to minimize suffering, even animal suffering. Well, the optimal way to do that is by the extinction of all animals capable of feeling pain. That seems to be a reasonable solution to these people! Seriously, they regard spreading animal life to other planets as a bad thing because the animals will feel pain. No mention of the fact that there will be many more of them, that animals will live who otherwise would not. No, the focus is that those who live will suffer, and that's bad. They shouldn't suffer, even if the price of "not suffering" is "not existing". I am unable to comprehend such a limited view. Into each life some suffering falls; that does not make life not worth living.
