It seems pretty obvious that Eliezer's view is that FAI is the quick ticket to world domination (in the sense of world states that you talk about), and he seems to be structuring his conspiracy accordingly.
Really? How would one demonstrate this? What does it mean for a definition to be "correct"? If something is true by definition, is it really demonstrable?
Really? Your plan is to get people interested in world domination by guilting them?
I hadn't considered that, but now I see it clearly. How interesting.
Ha! If that would work, maybe it'd be a good idea. But no, pointing out a moral obligation is not the same as guilting. Guilting would be me messaging you, saying "See that poor starving African woman? if you had listened to my plan, she'd be happier." But I won't be doing that.
