What makes me so frustrated about this argument is that we already live in a world with thousands of optimization processes that end up hurting or killing humanity. Everything from the flu to tigers. Plus, all those 'processes' are evolving through selective pressure.
- mej10 12y agoCorporations, governments, political systems, and other organizations are also optimization processes. Some of which are certainly harmful and also already hurt many people. And these are evolving through selective pressures as well. And not generally in the pro-humanity direction, more in the "preserve self at all costs" direction.
