Seltsam, was gerade auf Twitter los ist wenn wir CT Bergstrom glauben, der eine Team Email von Musk geteilt hat.
Es sieht so aus als sei Twitter nun in der Gewalt von einem reichen Mann, der einem pseudoreligiösen Mars Kult angehört – nachzulesen in dem aufschlussreichen Artikel von Dave Troy
This is a reference to “longtermism” the heavily marketed philosophy being promoted by Musk and his friend William MacAskill that asserts the only thing that matters is humanity’s future in space, and that the only goal of the living is to maximize the number of future humans alive, as well as the number of artificial intelligence instances that could possibly exist in the future. This mandate is most often used to brush aside calls for improving conditions and alleviating suffering among the living here on Earth now. Because, the theory goes, giving a poor person a blanket isn’t likely to be as useful for the future of humanity as building a rocket to Mars. Longtermism is heavily influenced by “Russian Cosmism” and is also directly adjacent to “Effective Altruism.” Musk’s stated mission, which he intends to fulfill in his lifetime, is to “make humanity a multiplanetary species.” The anti-democratic urge in longtermism is rooted in the belief that “mob rule” will lead to nuclear annihilation; we should, Musk thinks, be guided by “wiser” minds.
