  • It does on the surface, but the problem is it quickly devolves into extreme utilitarianism. There are some other issues such as:

    1. How rich is rich enough for EA? Who decides?
    2. How much suffering is it acceptable to cause while getting rich to deliver EA?
    3. Is it better to deal with the problems we have now and in the immediate future, or avoid problems in millions of years that we may or may not accurately be able to predict?
    4. Can you even apply morality and ethics to people that do not exist?
    5. Who decides what has the most value?
    6. It’s a cult.



  • Honestly if it’s web3/crypto related you can generally dismiss it as nonsense.

    Most web3 and crypto projects are set up by two kinds of people:

    • well meaning but deluded programmers who think because they know how to code they can solve social/economic/cultural problems.

    • scamming cunts.

    Sometimes there’s overlap between the two.

    The whole space is basically a cult.
