Really confusing approach to the meat industry: vatmeat, but grown by tiling ranches with solar panels for the process energy.

We will ensure optimal solar panel distribution by building semi-autonomous, four-legged solar collectors in the 900 kilogram range,

Vat mean but the controlling software has to be complex enough that it’s conscious/sentient.

broke: growing vatmeat in a big sterile factory where all workers wear cleansuits, carefully controlling conditions to create a 1m long cut of the perfect steak

woke: genetically engineering a snake crossed with three different kinds of regenerative lizard, chopping it in half each year and waiting for it to grow back, then lobbying the FDA to get your mechanically processed snake meat classified as legally chicken

Wombdustrial revolution when

I was joking.  Artificial wombs are predominantly owned by private fertility companies, especially in Europe and North America, which lease them out as part of their designer baby packages.

For the most part, the only state-owned artificial wombs are in Japan, Korea, and China, and in China they’re purely for military concerns.  Though the ten thousand blossoms program in Japan has performed about as well as can be expected.

I hope you don't mind if I crop that picture of the guy inhaling The Idea That Liberal Democracy Is The Natural Moral Order Of The Universe, because it's so good.

Knock yourself out, Anon-kun.

Not literally, though, of course.  If you huff too much from that inhaler you’ll have an overdose and start believing American newsmedia, so only inhale just the little bit that you need to keep your soul alive.

Nothing says hyperatomization like an "ownership model" of parent-child relationships or a "trustee model" of parent-child relationships. To think these things are somehow more elemental in the construction of society than just having a "parent-child model" itself! (Not that I necessarily even disagree... just an observation.)

Ah, but for whom is the trustee model written?

Not for those who have a healthy parent-child model, which is difficult to explain and loaded with intuition, but for those who do not.

The trustee model is presented for those who can only see things as “the parent owns the child” or “the state owns the child”, with no in-between or drift from the axis, including various hypercapitalists.  It is a framework to grasp at which is either safer for the children if they stop there, or allows a departure from that mindset altogether.

You don't have to read the whole of unsong to get at the bit relevant to your concept of omnibenevolence, as the author of the book posted it before the book started as a separate post google "slate star codex answer to job"

Yeah, I’ve read that one.  

There are probably other ways to go about it as well.  The point is less about that specific way, and more that “omnibenevolent” can be rescued, but only if it looks like something other than what religion says it looks like.

What if free will is normally distributed and sociopaths are the righthand tail. Not sure what the lefthand tail would be though?

This is an interesting ask, but I’m not sure what the left-hand tail would be, either.  Either way, I tend to believe that our ability to self-control is somewhat limited and thus consequences should also be limited, usually.  

Sometimes the consequences need to be more severe because of incentives and the structure of society.  It isn’t really something to be celebrated, just something we have to put up with.

At some point it doesn’t matter if Godzilla can’t help himself.  He must be removed from Tokyo.

Anonymous asked:

some people seem to use schools as a substitute for some aspects of church.

There are limits to that.  People eventually have to leave University (except for professors, potentially).

How can a secular replacement be created with enough motive power to gain the same benefits?

And can it do that without turning into a plague of status locusts that constantly accuse each other of being Problematic pedos and creating hate swarms?
