I'm going to break this down a little to try to keep my thoughts coherent:

>What do you plan to contribute to civilization when given the privilege to keep drawing from global and intergalactic resource pools?

For my primary goal, I would like to work to make sure that everything has access to as many possibilities as they like. Secondarily, I would also like to enjoy experiencing those possibilities myself.

> That's a lot of transparency you'll have to have there, are you ready for that sort of responsibility?
Transparency in what way? Could you elaborate? Given that I am willing to die to achieve my primary goal, I would say that I am ready for any responsibility. But to be honest, I'm not entirely sure.

This makes sense to me.

I don't see how you got to this conclusion. I believe we can agree that we are both alive right now. I believe we can also agree that we don't want to die right now. I think that powerful people are already using their existence to exploit us. I believe I still want to continue living right now despite that. I suppose I will ask you a question: When do you want to die? And will you hold yourself to that date and time?

>Tell me again why you are so valuable and deserve to live longer than others? To use resources, and create waste...

I am valuable because I value myself.
