Beautiful.

And it almost makes me want to be Brennan - with all the training of the Bayesian Conspiracy could give me, a fiercely desired goal in my mind, and the whole world open in front of me. (And - presumably - no existential risks to worry about.)

You're assuming that his goal is not, in itself, an existential risk. Something that is almost, but not quite, unattainable.. we know of such a technology already, and Eliezer is aiming for it.
