Have TESCREAList's considered that if they desire a long term future for "the light of human consciousness", however they define "human," then eliminating themselves might be the most effectively altruistic course of action they could take? In the back of my mind I hear a 1960's Stark Trek killer robot self-destructing: Error, Error, Error....
On the subject of "dangerous animals" and quantified suffering, I once met a grizzly bear and cub in the wild who were far more "happy" than a William MacAskill will ever give them credit for. How could I know that a TESCREAL skeptic might ask? Because I'm alive, and everything about them expressed that contentment implicitly.
