Yes, turchin's argument I meant. But I don't need it just to discuss consequences.

You claim to be distressed by the consequences. Why be distressed by the consequences of something you have no good reason to believe.

Bostrom himself appears to reject Unification.

Measure can lead to just about any conclusion, depending on how you define it.
