Oh gods, you're doing that again. "How dare you be talking about something other than my pet issue! That proves you're on the wrong side of my pet issue, which proves you're inconsistent and insincere!"
There is a reason why you keep getting "swamped with downvotes". That reason is that you are wasting other people's time and attention, and appear not to care. As long as you continue to behave in this obnoxious and antisocial fashion, you will continue to get swamped with downvotes. And, not coincidentally, your rudeness and obtuseness will incline people to think less favourably of your proposal. If someone else more reasonable comes along with an economic proposal like yours, the first reaction of people who've interacted with you here is likely to be that bit more negative because they'll associate the idea with rudeness and obtuseness.
Please consider whether that is really what you want.
In the comment that you replied to, I calmly and rationally explained with exceptionally sound logic why my "pet issue" (the efficient allocation of resources) is relevant to the subject of "unfriendly" AI.
Did you calmly and rationally explain why the efficient allocation of resources is not relevant to "unfriendly" AI? Nope.
Nobody on this forum is forced to read or respond to my comments. And obviously I'm not daunted by criticism. So unlike this guy, I'm not going to bravely run away from an abundance of economic ignorance.
And if my calm and rational comments are driving you so crazy... then perhaps it would behoove you to find the bias in your bonnet.
As Eliezer is fond of saying: "A fanatic is someone who can't change his mind and won't change the subject." At least try to be able to change the subject.
Quotation commonly attributed to Churchill, but here's some weak evidence that he didn't say it, or at least wasn't the first to.
