Show how we “will have the judgement and maturity to consistently make wise choices about how to manage ever more, ever larger powers, delivered at an ever faster pace, without limit.”
It’s impossible to do anything without mistake, much less forever, much less wisdom, much less humanity. =p We are aware of our own fallibility, so we (humanity and EA) build systems to catch early warning signs and counteract mistakes before they get out of hand.
“Show how we will never make mistakes” is obviously impossible and does not allow for the many other counterpoints I might have within your post. “There is only one way this could be wrong, and its this” is not a very useful discussion for either of us. It suggests you already have your conclusion and will not incorporate input unless it meets your predefined standards. This does not feel like equals working together towards a common goal, but of someone with preconceptions, judging who is allowed to contribute and precluding evidence to the contrary. This may not be your intention, but it is how I read your phrasing.
I find it more useful to note my weakest points, seeking if anyone can find any flaws or better frameworks so I can discover every possible way to improve my worldview and build upon it.
