I appreciated this essay but have to agree with the other commenters about moralityslop. But shift the perspective and it's clear the author is writing to work through these ideas despite the llm-isms.

As an example in the nuclear catastrophe section he implied there was a guy like him who thought really hard. "Leaders who contemplate nuclear war in sufficient depth are forced into a shared experiential frame." Which sure it's possible, but no shot every country had that dynamic. Quite frankly I don't know how we've avoided nuclear war past rational deterrence but it's arbitrary to say "It erases the phenomenological boundary between 'us' and 'them.'" Anyway, keep it up shoes_for_thee, I've had fun thinking about your ideas but next time add some sources.

Does anyone know of any reading for this definition of noetic ground? Nothing I found matched.
