I’m talking about optimizing for more positive-human-lived-seconds, not for just a binary ‘I want some humans to keep living’ .
Then why aren’t you mostly dominated by the possibility of >10^50 positive-human-lived-seconds via human control of the light cone?
Maybe some sort of diminishing returns?
I am dominated by it, and okay, I see what you are saying. Whichever scenario results in a higher chance of human control of the light cone is the one I prefer, and these considerations are relevant only where we don’t control it.
