Consensual transparency versus non-consensual transparency
Disclaimer
- Quick Note
- Contains politically sensitive info
Main
- Possible worlds:
- 1: Elites have privacy, public has privacy.
- 1b: Elites have privacy, public has privacy from each other, but public is surveilled by some elites.
- 2: Elites are transparent, public has privacy
- 2b Elites are transparent, public has privacy from each other, but public is surveilled by some elites.
- 3: Elites have privacy, public is transparent
- 4: Elites are transparent, public is transparent
- In practice we live in 1b
- Assuming the worlds were obtained via consent of everyone involved, my preference order: 4 > 2 > 3 > 1, 1b
- In short I love transparency and dislike privacy, assuming consent is obtained.
- However, the problem is I want to force a world transition using force instead of by obtaining consent.
- I am basically endorsing shifting the world more from 1b to 2b, and doing it using force instead of by obtaining consent.
- In theory, I could shift the world from 3b to 4 directly, using force instead of by obtaining consent. 4 is indeed better than 3b. The problem with doing this is lack of consent, and not uncertainty over whether 4 is better than 3b or not.
Update
- I disagree with this whole writeup. I strongly dislike the whole "class war" mindset that says elites don't deserve privacy but public does. I love elites. Fuck the public.
- My stance is that elites building ASI don't deserve to have their consent respected. This is a different stance from saying that all elites don't deserve to have their consent respected.
- I am aware that people will use my type of reasoning to go after many other elites for all sorts of dumb political reasons.
- Some left-leaning Loser will go after billionaires who are too right-leaning simply because they are too right-leaning.
- Another right-leaning Loser will go after billionaires who are too left-leaning simply because they are too left-leaning.
- Fuck all these people. No, seriously, fuck all these people.
- I think this is definitely a big bottleneck for me, morally.
- Most of the people I meet who endorse political violence are losers of the highest order. They are not being violent for a worthwhile cause.
- If I am violent for a worthwhile cause, I will also inspire a lot of people to be violent for causes I don't think are worthwhile.
- To do - think more here
- The reason I am not attacking the public is because they are powerless and attacking them won't help with anything, and not because I respect the public. I shit on the public.
- Most of the public only wants privacy to play petty reputation games with their friends and family, and doesn't care about anything bigger. Fuck all these people.
- I need to learn to think more like a politician or billionaire, and less like a member of my class. I don't respect all politicians and billionaires, but I atleast respect some of them.
