This argument notably holds true of FAI / control theory efforts. Proponents of FAI asset that heaven-on-Earth utopian futures are not inevitable outcomes, but rather low probability possibilities they must work towards. It still seems overtly religious and weird to those of us who are not convinced that utopian outcomes are even possible / logically consistent.
If you're not convinced that utopian outcomes are even possible, isn't that completely compatible with the claim that utopian futures are not inevitable and low-probability?
