CAN PHILOSOPHY SAVE HUMANITY IF AI->AGI?

While not one mention of "AI" in this paper, there are certain implications that may be worth an ☕ of contemplation.

Does the Size of the Universe Matter to Whether Anything Objectively Matters? “The universe is old, big, and empty. In comparison, we are new and small.” So begins an interesting and fun article on a big question of perennial popular concern by Luke Elson (University of Reading) in the latest issue of Ethics. Observations of the vastness of the universe in comparison to tiny little us—the “cosmic disparity”—are familiar from common complaints about meaninglessness. “How could anything matter in a huge, cold, empty universe like this?” goes the cliché. Philosophers have tended to reject inferences from the size of the universe to its lack of objective evaluative properties, as it’s unclear what one has to do with the other. But Elson aims to defend a version of the cliché. He doesn’t argue that the size of the universe directly implies that nothing objectively matters. Rather, his position is that the universe’s immensity weakens the evidence against robust realism, the idea that “there are sui generis evaluative or other ethical properties.” In other words, contrary to what many philosophers believe, size¹ matters². Here’s the skeleton of Elson’s argument, which he calls the “Abductive-Evidential Argument Against Robust Realism”: Robust Realism gains support from its explanation of our evaluative judgments. The parsimony cost of its sui generis ontology counts against Robust Realism. The cosmic disparity. Our evaluative judgments form a very small part of the total evidence base. In a smaller cosmos, our evaluative judgments would form a larger part of the total evidence base. Scale matters. Insofar as a partial theory offers a good explanation or account of some part of the evidence base (or “set of facts”),this carries more theoretical weight, as that part is a larger portion of the total evidence base. So, the cosmic disparity weakens the evidential support for Robust Realism provided by our evaluative judgments. That support is weaker in this cosmos than it would be in a smaller cosmos. (From 1, 3, and 4.) The size of the universe doesn’t affect any of the other considerations for or against Robust Realism, such as the parsimony cost of its sui generis ontology. So, all things considered, the cosmic disparity weakens the evidence for Robust Realism. (From 5 and 6.) For a further explanation of the argument and a defense of..

On Ethical Systems and Superheroes — TienSwitch Are superheroes driven by utilitarian values? Or the moral duties of deontology? Or perhaps something in between. Let’s take a look into superhero ethics.

A fun #blogpost about #superheroes and #ethics. I talk about ethical systems and superheroes like I'm some sort of philosophy expert or something (I'm not). But big deep thoughts are fun, so let's explore together.

What we call “objectivity” in social and moral life is scaffolding: provisional, rhetorical, maintained through care, reciprocity, and revolt.

Metaethics is moral metacognition: thinking about how we think about right and wrong.

When I judge my judgment, I see the machinery - belief, bias, desire - sparking beneath the halo.

Morality is not just choice, but awareness of choosing, doubled back on itself.
