If someone asks you what you want for yourself in life, do you have the answer ready at hand?

Yeah: To gather knowledge, to learn and understand everything.

Everything is covered by the above. Everything.

Whoops! Computronium. There goes the cosmic commons again.

Does he care about that if he is the computronium? But I think we just had a similar thread here.

No. That's the problem.

No. That's the problem.

I interpreted your first post as pointing out to XiXiDu's that his goals were problematic for people who weren't him (they'd be killed or at best forcibly merged with him). I replied to note that if his goals were as stated, that observation wouldn't be of interest to him. I'm not sure how to interpret your reply, which in my framing becomes "Yes. That's why it would.".
