In my post, I suggested that one possible future is that we stay at the “forefront of weirdness.” Calculating moral weights, to use your example.
I could imagine though that the fact that our opinions might be read by someone with access to the nuclear codes changes how we do things.
I wish there was more debate about which of these futures is more desirable.
(This is what I was trying to get out with my original post. I’m not trying to make any strong claims about whether any individual person counts as “EA”.)
