[Second Thoughts] Second Thoughts: Finding the Lawn-Mower: Philip Linden's Evil Ideas: They brush aside a problem like club thieves stealing all a sim's FPS because a) Philip is ideologically wedded to the idea that there are no scarcity of resources in his world b) he can't begin to conceive of FPS as a scarce resource because it just doesn't fit in his celestial programmer's belief system c) lag is client-side and induced by people who put out laggy stuff anyway.

[Singularitarian Blog] Accelerating Future » Space Travel: Not for A Billion Years: I’m sure we will send out probes in every direction at near light speed, and they may be programmed to build copies or new minds upon arrival at a substantial matter chunk, but as I argue, it will take billions of subjective years to make it there, and if you delete yourself here just to go on one of those ships, you’ll be dead to the next billions of years of activity on earth. What’s the point of making it past the Singularity just to shove yourself on a tiny ship that spends most of its time in an empty vacuum, and by the time you reach your destination, it’s the same thing we have here?
