I’ve developed what I call a “course” which in my humble opinion answers the questions posed in this article. It examines the root cause of the metacrisis and the race to the bottom, which is also referred to as the tragedy of the commons or “moloch”. My course offers up the best way in which we as a species should try to change our mindset in order to give ourselves the best chance at immediate, intermediate and long term survival. As alluded to in this article or story, from a philosophical standpoint, the same “teachings” and “understandings” which will be required for us to wrestle with, come to grips with and use to overcome the old school problems, or metacrisis, are the same as those which will be required to try to train AI so that it is aligned with that which is in the most beneficial long term interests of the human race as a species.
