I just used a 5 minute timer to brainstorm about this, and then committed to sharing that even though it looked messy.
...
How will morality change?
AI will change things a bunch
assume not AI
what is relevant?
Power is concentrated
Social media
weaponry
notice I’d only been saying cynical things
expanding moral circle of concern
– animals
– who counts as in the ingroup
– who can we tell compelling stories about
cooperation – critch related things
Morality as cooperation mechanism
– what will we expect to need to cooperate on?
– who will we expect to need to cooperate with?
--- other people
--- software we create
--- corporations
--- aliens
--- acausal trade
Morality as random ebb
– postmodernism
– anticolonialism
Man everything’s real cynical
Okay what if I were to just actually assume noncynical morality?
as people get better educated, can understand more complex or different things (re: both empathy and game theory)
Can you generate novel predictions within noncynical morality? Prob not.
Out of time!
