I mean, we're way off in the weeds and all of you. No, I think this is like central. OK, well, good. I'm glad you do. I don't think there is a robust analytical argument for why being alive is superior to not being alive. I think this is, and mind you, I am very committed to the idea that being alive is way better.

I'm intending to stay alive as long as possible and to help those I love do the same. So it's not that I'm confused about this, but analytically speaking, What is it about life that's superior to not life? Well, the answer is nothing except you would expect a lot of creatures that are the product of a competition between those who were committed to living and those that weren't so committed to it.

You would expect an accumulation of bias where we would all inherit the same analytical abilities. perspective, even though it's not grounded in the physical reality of the universe. So that one, the only point there is I think that one is actually arbitrary. But once you agree that

Being alive is pretty great and beats the alternative, and you're going to get an infinite amount of the alternative anyway, so you might as well preserve the one space of being alive that you're going to get, right? Once you're there, well, then the answer is the rest of it follows, right? Why should you... Be honorable. Well, because actually it preserves your spot in the universe much better.

I think that being confused into thinking life is great. I mean, what else is there, right? I'm all on board with it.

Well, again, I think the answer is actually implied in what you asked about the failure to evolve that you see in the present. And I agree, in the present, it's pretty hard to make an argument that we are making some discernible kind of progress, in fact. We're injuring ourselves at every turn as a result of what Heather and I have called hyper-novelty.

The rate of change is so high that one can't figure out- overarching pattern over time is one of a dawning of a kind of moral enlightenment it's not as you point out it does not prevent the alternatives from repeatedly re-emerging right but i mean let's take for example how can we even call it enlightenment why is it not just to our preference Let's take the story of Jesus.
