What was the most interesting thing in this section?
Yay, I finally caught up!
I think the section on resource allocation and Malthusian limits was interesting. Many people seem to think that
Yet by continually 'redistributing' away from groups whole restrict their fertility, we actually ensure the latter.
Interesting framing.
It reminds me of this problem -
Many people feel that: - everyone should have the right to vote - almost everyone should have the right to reproduce - people should not be able to buy elections
Yet when virtual minds can reproduce cheaply and quickly by spending money, it will be hard to maintain all of these.
I think the way that people would take out of this is avoiding assigning personhood status to virtual minds. There are already considerations that would weigh against virtual minds getting personhood status in the opinions of many people today, and if there are cases like this where assigning personhood creates and obvious and immediate problem, it might tip the balance of motivated cognition.
Continual redistribution & population growth might ensure individual capital levels fell so low that no-one had the spare capital to invest in hard AI research, hindering any second transition.
