It's as if people compartmentalize them and think about only one or the other at a time.

Or just disagree with a specific transhumanist moral (or interpretation thereof). If you are growing "too powerful too quickly" the right thing for an FAI (or, for that matter, anyone else) to do is to stop you by any means necessary. A recursively self improving PhilGoetz with that sort of power and growth rate will be an unfriendly singularity. Cease your expansion or we will kill you before it is too late.

Although I disagree with your heartbreak position I agree with this.

1) There's no real reason to pull in unrelated threads just because you're talking to the same person.

2) Most of us are pretty sure, based on that other thread, that you misunderstand wedrifid's "heartbreak position".

3) When referencing other posts, it's usually good form to link to them (as above), to make it easier for others to follow.
