I do imagine how much better the world could be. I actually do want MIRI to succeed. Though currently I have low confidence in their future success, so I don't feel "bliss" (if that's the right word.)

BTW I'm actually slightly agnostic because of the simulation argument.

Enthusiasm? Excitement? Hope?

Yep. I don't take it too seriously, but its at least coherent to imagine beings outside the universe who could reach in and poke at us.
