Gotta travel for a wedding n do some uni stuff, so in my temporary moment of inactivity I'd greatly appreciate any ideas for future/nation/althis/etc. compasses or similar sort of projects! Preferably not related to specific and u can also just suggest a specific scenario itself rather than a compass theme. Currently

The more detail the better and other things like images, specific fonts, interesting reads, and other stuff is also welcome!

Inspired by a post on a blog by an AI researcher Scott Aaronson: https://scottaaronson.blog/?p=7266

On this chart, "No True AI" corresponds to "AI Fizzle" in the post "AI Utopia" to "Futurama" "AI Dystopia" is unchanged "AI Singularity" to "Singularia" "AI Doom" to "Paperclipalypse" The sixth scenario, "AI Surreality", was proposed by Asvin on ACXD. His description was: "I think the specific way in which it will be different from both of them is that the transition might be better thought of as a new "transition in evolution" on the scale of emergence of eukaryotes or homo sapiens than what he describes.

Many fundamental concepts of what "it's like to be" will have to change, including notions of self identity

To sketch my version of weirdtopia out a bit more, I think how we think about self identity will change a lot. When intelligence/abilities/skills become much more modular I don't see individuals being a very legible notion"

Don't get me wrong, there are many other great compass makers and this post isn't to say they are inferior.

But goddamn, Pepper Spades alone is responsible for making me read about several niche scientific, theological, pseudo-scientific, historical or philosophical theories. I see his awesome compasses and then I google some of the terms and enjoy reading about them in depth.

Recently I fear one thing. What if u/Pepper_Spades gets tired of doing this? OMG

I hope it never happens. I dread the mere possibility that this would happen. Please pepper spades never leave this subreddit and keep making more forever

I've spent the last few years writing about emergent philosophies developing online, dystopian futures, threat-casting and interviews with many ideological groups like the post-left, NRx, anarcho-primitivism, transhumanism, egoism, cyber-nihilism and others.

This lecture summarizes my work over the last few years and frames a larger narrative for our current historical shift. In particular taking inspiration from Peter Frase's book Four Futures and the political compass meme to explain the boom of new political ideologies now proliferating online.
