Thanks :). I didn’t mean for the ghost section to imply that the ghost civilization solves the problems discussed in the rest of the post re: e.g. divergence, meta-divergence, and so forth. Rather, the point was that taking responsibility for making the decision yourself (this feels closely related to “making peace with your own agency”), in consultation with/deference towards whatever ghost civilizations etc you want, changes the picture relative to e.g. requiring that there be some particular set of ghosts that already defines the right answer.
