My problem isn’t particularly with the Ishtar’s pastimes, but with the overall system. I’m arguing that Hanson’s upload society would be better than this because it could support so many more lives worth living total and more total utility than this alleged eutopia.
So you’d be happy with this world if it all existed inside a small piece of the galactic computronium-pile, and there was lots more of it? I actually hadn’t considered that, because I just assume all post-Singularity futures are set inside the galactic computronium-pile unless explicitly stated otherwise.
