    We simply don’t know how the world will look X (anything with a bigger scale)

    Yes. So? This has, will, always be the case. Uncertainty is the only certainty.

    When these assholes say things, the implication is always that the future world looks like everything you care about being fucked, you existing in an imprisoned state of stasis, so you better give us control here and now.

      I do love this compulsion of rationalists to use Big Numbers as if they were sufficient arguments.

      Nobody knows and it’s impossible for anyone to know so let’s all just assume I’m right.
