I’m near Unknown’s position. I don’t trust any human being with too much power. No matter how nice they seem at first, history indicates to me that they inevitably abuse it. We’ve been told that a General AI will have power beyond any despot known to history. Am I supposed to have that much reliance on the essential goodness within Eliezer’s heart? And in case anyone brings this up, I certainly don’t trust the tyranny of the majority either. I don’t recognize any moral obligation to stop it because I don’t recognize any obligations at all. Also, I might not live to seem him or his followers immanentize the Eschaton.
Female circumcision is commonly carried out by women who’ve undergone the procedure themselves. So I don’t think the Pygmy father will be convinced.
