While I think you are not wrong about the entanglement of intellectual exploration and truth-value, I do think you did not really explain the intent of the post. You only really said half a sentence about it, and that one did seem pretty weird to me:
...and instead of saying “it wont happen because X will happen, it’s pointless thinking about” we should just start talking about X and how to prevent it. We probably have enough time to do something.
This seems to indicate that your goal is to get the people on this site to start working towards the future you described, which seems like a valid and fine goal. However, at this point I am not particularly convinced that working on the future you described is tractable, something I can influence particularly much, or something I should care about. It sure sounds pretty cool, but there are a lot of visions for the future that sound pretty cool.
