There seem to be more and more people who think sacrificing their life to help build FAI is an ethical imperative.

Sacrificing or devoting? Those are different things. If FAI succeeds they will have a lot more life to party than they would have otherwise so devoting your life to FAI development might be a good bet even from a purely selfish standpoint.

That comment doesn't actually argue for contributing to FAI development. So I guess I'm not Pascal (damn).

You probably don't wanna be Pascal anyway. I'm given to understand he's been a metabolic no-show for about 350 years.
