This feels like an attempt to create an ethical framework that supports overruling people’s actual freedom of choice in favor of a technocratic vision of what you should choose, and while I can understand the frustration with people doing dumb shit, the problem comes in when “joining a cult preaching rationality and then trying to avert the robot apocalypse by bringing about a slightly different flavor of robot apocalypse” is, to many educated folks, a pretty strong example of stupid shit people do, while to them “ignore the oncoming robot apocalypse because you’re too irrational to see the obvious truth that we’re all gonna be simutortired by the basilisk forever!” would presumably make the list.
Also I guess texting your friend to say “Yo we’re out of OJ, is lemonade alright?” is unironically praxis now?
