I applaud this approach (and upvoted this comment), but I think any future posts would be better received if you did more tweaking prior to publishing them.
Fictional evidence: Q as allegedly the last born - but where are his parents? And what about the 'true Q' from her own episode? They fight a freaking war over Qs wish to reproduce, but do not allow one guy to commit suicide. But handing out powers or taking them away is easy as cake. Not particular consistent.
If time comes to build a universe wide civilization, then there will be many minds to ponder all the questions. We do not have to get that right now. (Current physics only allows for colonization of the local group anyhow.) If we put in enough effort to solve the GUT there might be some way around the limitations of the universe, or we will find another way to deal with them - as has been the case many times before. Now is a great time to build an amazing future, but not yet the time to end reproduction.
How about a Less Wrong peer review system? This could be especially good for Less Wrongers who are non-native speakers. I'll volunteer to review a few posts--dreamalgebra on google's email service. (Or private message, but I somewhat prefer the structure of email since it's easier for me to see the messages I've written.)
