Caledonian, sorry—do you mean that humanity needs to be superseded?
Gray Area, did you read my paper on friendly AI yet? I must be sounding like a broken record by now ;-)
I justify my statement ‘that is good what increases fitness’ with the axiomatic belief of ‘to exist is preferable over not to exist’
The phenomena created by evolution that seem like horrors to us (parasitic wasps) must be that particular wasp’s pinnacle of joy. It is a matter of perspective. I am not saying: eat crap—millions of flies can’t be wrong! I am taking the human perspective—not that of a wasp or a fly or of random horror inducing entity but can understand other entities points of view and see the general principle—what increases fitness of an entity is good for that entity. Generally put: that is good what increases fitness.
