Against sneering at longtermists caring about digital minds
Stylistically, I think your writing would be more persuasive if you used fewer insulting adjectives (e.g. "unhinged critic", "psychopathic disregard"). Even if true, it gives vibes of being unduly biased in favor of EA.
Digital minds just disturb me. Even if we had the technology, I would not upload/digitize my mind unless death was a certain alternative.
Hopefully we get cool cyborg brains that are basically as durable.
It's not about uploading human minds -- though that's a possibility. It's about distinct digital minds.
Oh yeah I wasn’t really arguing with you. Just saying ya know?
