Some of us are raising families and finding friends who won't be part of this. We're trying to carve out little islands. I can't save you, and I don't even want to.


> I can't save you, and I don't even want to.

"Love your neighbor as yourself" exists in some form in every major pre-modern religion and philosophy because it's a cornerstone of society.

Not over-compassionate, truthless love or yet another government program, but caring about those we run into enough to--at minimum--personally help meet their basic needs and defend or rescue them from immediate threats to their safety.

If we're going to let anything go, it shouldn't be that.


If you create a community with like minded individuals it will be very prone to infighting ...


I assume this is your last post on HN, since AI will surely be participating in the discussions here in the near future.

Seriously, though… How will you “carve out a little island”? Computers are the kingdom of AI.


Very similar to Amish, Mennonites, Hutterites, etc. I imagine. Draw the line of what you think makes life good and follow as close as is reasonable, and if others agree they will associate.
