Nice post—I think it is good to reflect on what we might achieve, rather than only focusing on reducing X risk.
But unlike Heaven, Utopia, if something like it ends up getting built, will be a specific, concrete, physical world, with attendant frictions and problems, idiosyncrasies and contingencies; its own ways of distributing resources, resolving/​preventing conflicts, and so on; and ultimately, with fundamental limitations on what can be done.
I’m not sure how feasible these are, but would personal universes address some of these issues?
Thanks :). I haven’t thought much about personal universes, but glancing at the paper, I’d expect resource-distribution, for example, to remain an issue.
