1) How do you know?
2) Is there any chance, however slightly, that it turns out to be true?
3) What are the criteria for best in their claim?

1) Common Sense.
2) Rationality Disagrees.
3) Figments of their own Imagination.

Has the advent of society led us to destroy ourselves?

I think it's quite the Opposite.
Grouping in a way, makes Us Flourish.

So many people during the ages have made various doomsday predictions, pointing to different causes n reasons, with Only one Commonality...They were all False!

Donno if the God/s are Real or figments of Imaginations...but No doubt it worked out well for Us.

I'm not opposing the Universality ideology, just feel it's a bit Unrealistic, that's all.

Which part of it do you consider unrealistic?
Do you know of any more realistic alternatives?

The " Universal " part.
If a whole city agrees & accepts it, then it becomes a City moral standard.
Similarly...
State moral standard.
Country/Nation moral standard.
Continental moral standard.
Planetary moral standard.
Interplanetary, Galactic, Intergalactic, Clusterial, Interclusterial, Observable universe & then finally " Universal Moral Standard ".

The only alternative that i can think of towards achieving such a Universal goal might be to act like ' Thee Borg ' in Star Trek Universe.
(Borg always fails, but keeps tryin)

Imagine conducting an Election...
In which All votes have to say
' Yes '..
& Total number of Voters is Infinite.
(voting begins but never ends)

Voting should be considered as an instrumental goal. In your case, they should have considered better alternatives to achieve their terminal goal.

The Only alternative is to pause Time.

AGI on the other hand, might Change it's previous Decision half way thru the process of achieving the Goal.

That's normal for any conscious entities. Decisions are made based on known conditions, which are expected to bring most desired outcome. When the conditions change, the decisions may change as well. Longer term goals are less likely to change.
The challenge is to select the correct terminal goal in the first place so there will be no reason to change it afterwards.

Perhaps We would have to exclude Aliens.

It's understandable since we haven't found one. But we haven't explored much of observable universe. It's like scooping a spoon of sea water, and declare that fish don't exist because we catch none in the spoon.

Including or Excluding would work provided We are sure of Their existence.

When it comes to Extraterrestrials, idc about Evidence, i am a Believer!

But We might have to leave them out of the decision making process based on the humongous scale of SpaceTime.

Communication will be a road block, arriving at an agreement a big hurdle & establishing Trust a major problem.

What if They refuse to co-operate with Us?

@ Halc
Something's changed.
donno what thou.

Have you gone par excellence at explaining stuff?
Or am i grasping n absorbing n understanding stuff better than before.

Hmm...might be the former, slim chance of the latter happening.

So the structure of the 2-d square microgrid Matters.

Concavity/Convexity might yield Gravity/Anti.

I Wonder what happens in places where the grid structure is uniformly Flat?

Why is Space temperature stuck at -270?C ?

In the Beginning, it was intesimally high.
So why can't it go extremely low?
(& is ' intesimally ' even a valid word?)


Was the temp of the Observable universe ever between 21?C to 24?C?


Are Measurements lower than -273?C possible?
(Ya i know, it's Absolute Zero, but i wanna know if We have instrumental capabilities to Measure lower temps or not?)


ps - next im gonna inquire about BH temps, so be prepared...lol

What about the convexity of a 2-d square microgrid...
Would that yield Anti-Gravity?
