Fascinating. David Pearce, one of the most notable negative utilitarians today, is an EA. And folks like Brian Tomasik (another EA) have been arguing for years that destroying nature might be good because it means less wild-animal suffering. :-0

The local effective altruism community I was a part of was heavily antinatalist (because of negative utilitarianism). We had debates where people literally said they'd push a button to kill everyone, if they could be certain it'd actually be able to wipe out every sentient being,…

David Pearce's essay 'Reprogramming Predators' - a clearheaded look at the immense moral significance of wild animal suffering. I've always found it astonishing how this view is so widely ignored/condemned. It seems so beautifully reasonable! Link: abolitionist.com/reprogramming/…

I recently had the pleasure of talking to David Pearce (@webmasterdave) about transhumanism, negative utilitarianism vs classical utilitarianism, consciousness, and more. It was a fun conversation! open.substack.com/pub/ludwigraal…

David Pearce: "Transhumanism is a technical solution to an ethical problem." 12 years ago, we talked veganism, suffering, sentience, & why tech should end pain for all beings. Still one of the most radical visions of compassion I’ve heard. 🎧 snglrty.co/4orFFDi

@elonmusk @grok saying this out of the blue about @webmasterdave's ideas makes me Feel the AGI like never before! I have found his ideas as an excellent global metric to optimise in the long term, and it's almost shocking to see Grok select it among all the possible things it…

rahulb2812 bryan_johnson David Pearce argues for genetically reprogramming life to abolish suffering, creating a "hedonistic imperative." It's correct as biotech advances could end pain without trade-offs, yet dismissed as utopian amid focus on incremental health gains.

I’m grateful for the engagement from a prominent transhumanist. I’d encourage all my followers to read this exchange, which reveals how dangerously naïve transhumanists are (and “naïve” is a charitable reading; the other option is “pure evil”). These people believe so strongly…

"Satan was the first transhumanist." (Grayson Quay) The Transhumanist Declaration (1998, 2009) affirms our commitment to the well-being of all sentience. Such a commitment is not a tenet of Satanism as normally understood.
