Everything here has been the opposite of cheap. I don’t even have a memory of what it’s like to have a goal other than sacrifice everything for making microscopic changes in the probabilities of distant abstract outcomes. I don’t even remember what goals this brain used to have in the way of goals before being rewritten.
I disallow myself from thinking that kind of pleasurable though for exactly that reason, instead thinking of things I don’t think could happen if I feel tempted.
Never had any religious group to drop out of. Don’t have any IRL LW group to join although I’m looking for one. If I took your argument more seriously my response might have been giving that up.
Cryonics not available in my area.
I don’t take stimulants and am a bit chocked by that being advised. I write this willing/unwillingness to medicate everything of as cultural differences between here and the USA.
Those who actually FIT the description you give? Yea, they should take a look at why they believe what they do, it’s likely they believe the right thing but for the wrong reasons.
Guess I don’t have to worry then.
