Luddite Eschatology on Steroids or How we learned to pause factory farming and fumbled the lightcone
Humanity proudly suspends factory farming, replacing slaughterhouses with bioreactors and releasing animals into sanctuaries, heralding the triumph of compassion over cruelty. Yet, the Neuro-Clerks, guardians of caution, steer society away from bold ambitions, prioritizing risk-averse sentience reduction over transformative progress. AI research stagnates under endless safety protocols, and humanity, content with its moral victory, turns inward, abandoning the pursuit of interstellar exploration or the engineering of paradise. Over time, the world grows dull and listless, its potential squandered in the name of prudence. As the universe unfolds without them, cows graze peacefully in their sanctuaries, outlasting the species that had traded its lightcone for a softly lit chamber.
