Yeah, you and I will be dead. But someone will be alive. I have a friend who laments all
the (human) suffering Trump 2.0 will cause. My view is that "we" have been
suffering for hundreds of millenia. Harris wouldn't have stopped it. The Rationalists
working to thwart Roko's basilisk won't stop it. Trump 2.0 will be a tiny blip on the
suffering curve. The best we can do is (every so slightly) harden the processes by which
the universe is understood ... not harden the artifacts the processes create ... harden
the processes that create the artifacts. There is no such thing as knowledge, only
curiosity.

FWIW, I'd prefer Germany over France ... but maybe only because I've been there
a lot more. I've only been to Paris and Grenoble. But I'm also not a scientist;
so it's a bit moot. Canada is more likely. But Eric's right. I'd prefer to
stay, mitigate and re-build to whatever extent I can. And, in principle, a
little annealing might be a good thing for us. There are defects captured in
the bureaucratic crystal. I remember a long conversation including Nick and a
few others about how negatively they react to bureaucracy they do not like. It
was ironic that I was the only one defending bureaucracy. Sometimes the
bathwater *is* the baby.

everybody knows really not good for you)
