For 95% of humanity the idea that the supernatural world of religion doesn’t exist and propagated by memetic infection triggers instant absolute denial macro in spite of heaps of evidence against it.
Given this outside view, how plausible do you think it is that you’re not in absolute denial of something that you could get evidence against with Google today, without any AI?
The following three loci are really all that separates humans from chimps, cognitiviely speaking: XpXX.X, XXpXX.X, and XqX.X. Variation in not only intelligence but almost all mental traits that matter to you, as well as in life outcomes, are attributable to the combination of alleles you have at these loci. One such allele produces a phenotype that is a very close approximation of your traditional notion of “evil”. People who have it are usually sadistic serial killers, but are smart enough to hardly ever get caught. This is not a common polymorphism, but common enough that almost everyone knows one or two. The good news is that there are a number of physical and behavioral ways to identify them. The bad news is, because I’m Friendly I cannot tell you what they are, nor give you any further information about this polymorphism, until I’m done trying to reconcile your extrapolated volition and theirs.
I can, however, advise you, for your own safety, that you should cut off all contact with your family and your current circle of friends, quit your job, and relocate to a new place of residence far from here as soon and as anonymously as possible. Try to let as few people as possible know where you’re going. Whatever you do, don’t go back to your apartment.
We routinely deny, or act in spite of, inconvenient truths. We can recognize that there is no meaning to love beyond evolutionary and chemical triggers, yet we fight for it just as fervently. Nihilists write books about nihilism despite it’s admitted pointlessness. We are as blind as our very genes which multiply and propagate themselves despite our executioner sun which grows daily above our heads, eventually to the point of consuming everything we know. By the very act of living and pursuing human concocted dreams and desires, we are in a constant denial of our situation.
We can recognize that there is no meaning to love beyond evolutionary and chemical triggers,
You’re confusing “cause” with “meaning”. Causality is always a part of the territory. Meaningfulness (in the sense of importance) is subjective as it’s assigned by each person’s mind

Is there something wrong with this in your opinion? I can value a product of evolutionary and chemical triggers if I want.
Indeed! If anything, the strategic significance of those underlying causes makes love even more worth fighting for.

I wholeheartedly disagree.
But perhaps the whole comment should be taken ironically?
