Reply to comment by MaxChaplin in Happiness is an essentially nihilistic ideal — it is the best goal to follow when there is nothing else on the table. A meaningful life on the other hand can embrace more of life including struggles and suffering because it is oriented towards a higher ideal by thelivingphilosophy

I’m not asking “What about my share?” so much as “Is this actually a good future for humanity?”

No, the answer is so obviously no. This is the society we get when we let great-men tech-fetishist hypercapitalists define our future.

You wanna get to space? Me too. But what will space be when we get there? A “progress” that treats exploitation as the cost of doing business may get us to space… but it brings the dystopia with us.
