Hey Zac, I think that’s a valid concern. There are various “god powers” that we could potentially use to alleviate suffering, but again, that’s not a complete solution. I would claim though, that even given the suffering our universe contains, we should be glad it exists (as opposed to not existing at all).
I suppose this is also related to the debate between negative and classical utilitarians!
How do you intend to avoid creating very many conscious and suffering people?
(and have you read Crystal Nights?)
