[FRIAM] MUsk + trUMP's = MUMPS

[glen]

Yeah, you and I will be dead. But someone will be alive. I have a friend who laments all the (human) suffering Trump 2.0 will cause. My view is that "we" have been suffering for hundreds of millenia. Harris wouldn't have stopped it. The Rationalists working to thwart Roko's basilisk won't stop it. Trump 2.0 will be a tiny blip on the suffering curve. The best we can do is (every so slightly) harden the processes by which the universe is understood ... not harden the artifacts the processes create ... harden the processes that create the artifacts. There is no such thing as knowledge, only curiosity.

Canada is more likely. But Eric's right. I'd prefer to stay, mitigate and re-build to whatever extent I can. And, in principle, a little annealing might be a good thing for us. There are defects captured in the bureaucratic crystal. I remember a long conversation including Nick and a few others about how negatively they react to bureaucracy they do not like. It was ironic that I was the only one defending bureaucracy. Sometimes the bathwater *is* the baby.
