In real life, rational agents routinely fail to coordinate on PD problems. Perhaps they would coordinate, if they were more rational. In that case, there is a valley of bad rationality between religion and PD-satisficing rationality.
I was inferring the values of the majority of the population from their actions. The majority of the population doesn't think people have a decent chance of living forever in this world.
Perhaps this should be a major goal for our community -- hopefully to shepherd people safely from one end of the valley to the other, but even failing that, simply to stand on the other side, waving and yelling, so that people know the opposite ledge exists, and have motivation in their journey.
