Which side are you on? > I'm on the side of sex but there being no word for sex anymore, due to the sleazy moral zeitgeist's connotation loading, here's a clue: I'm on the side of individual male intrasexual selection in the state of nature as the appeal of last resort in dispute processing as a remedy to the destruction of the biosphere, and what remains of human sexuality that is being destroyed as the Unfriendly AGI called "The Global Economy" turns us all into sterile worker mechanical Turks. But before resorting to that conflagration, which would kill more people than an all out nuclear war, I'm on the side of per capita territorial allocation of territory based on individual choice of social theory under which mutually consenting adults and their children live their lives by replacing prisons with exile and border enforcement. But before resorting to a Thirty Years War disabling the infrastructure sustaining the existing power structure that denies humanity at least that mutually consenting revitalization of The Treaty of Westphalia's doctrine of Cuius regio, eius religio, Cruiro, I'm on the side of admonishing our de facto secular theocracy, with its hypocritical donning of the white lab coat of the "scientist" to justify its claim to intermediate access to Truth between Society and Nature, to at least take seriously its ethical obligation to seek the minimum prior in data-driven truth discovery about the Nature of Society over which they wield power: Algorithmic information approximation as the most principled macrosocial model selection criterion. > No one can stop the truth from being told, even if it makes some people > lose face.

Would you prefer disputants each be given a 25cm blade and 15m of strong cordage, entering opposite ends of a wilderness area to engage in a natural duel <https://majorityrights.com/weblog/comments/civilization_takedown_the_tale_of_lin_tse/>, or would you prefer to cut out the posturing about who is more serious about seeking the minimum prior -- being more objective -- about using the vast resources of the information age to discover The Truth -- and just hold each other accountable to that serious objective function? ------------------------------------------ Artificial General Intelligence List: AGI Permalink: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/Te3d0dad0e74ec301-Me94692cf699b29a6fb26281f Delivery options: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/subscription
