"The default utilitarianism encoded into Mesopotamian space contains an implicit axiom: more existing is always better than any quality of existing"
"This eventually generates the population paradox [...] According to this paradox, to have trillions of humans living in a state near to that of [a concentration camp] is always better than to have billions of humans living in a state of absolute ecstasy"
"This default utilitarianism obviously no longer functions. It wasn't functioning very well to begin with."
(all quotes 46)
