People seem to disagree with this comment. There’s two statements and one argument in it
Humanity’s current and historical existence are net-negatives.
The future, assuming humans survive, will have massive positive utility
The argument for why this is the case, based on something something optimization
What are people disagreeing with? Is it mostly the former? I think the latter is rather clear. I’m very confident it is true. Both the argument and the conclusion. The former, I’m quite confident is true as well (~90% ish?), but only for my set of values.
