This is the old made new again. History is cluttered with hucksters who sold some product they hyped as being good for humanity. When you get right down to it, there's a lot of stuff you can do that's good for yourself that isn't necessarily good for everyone else, and/or has unpredictable side effects and external costs. Good people don't do those things without figuring out the risks and minimizing the damage. Bad people do them for the money and then try to justify them afterwards. Are "good" and "bad" too reductive? Substitute your own phrasing for your own moral code. I think most people inherently understand what is right and wrong - and some people choose to do what's wrong. This framework makes it exceptionally easy to see who is a good or bad person. Musk wants to colonize Mars not for humanity, but for the continuation of his own genetic line. Hence, Martian citizens won't argue amongst themselves (he thinks). (Stupidly). Altman is the same type of hedonistic, narcissistic monster who would leave humanity behind. Their motto is "après moi le déluge". |
