A bit of a side-track...
Interesting read. I don't understand physics but is it necessarily a bad
thing to allow spacelike-separated observers who share entaglement to
communicate? Is relativstic causality violated if signalling into the past
is never activated? Does it matter?
Of course he isn't looking at it in this way... it's just the laws of
nature.
As extropians, we want to achieve:
. instantaneous consensual communication linkage
. retrieval and activation-to-assess-consent-to-resurrection of initially
dead sentients from the past (or if you like, any of such who have not
already been retrieved by any existent post-earlier-Singularity
civilizations on worlds other than Earth).
Whether we can achieve such is another matter. But I'm in agreement with
Tipler here, we want the above along with indefinite-resource-expansion
(including if possible physical space) and maximum choice/minimum force
(including if possible through a Sysop/protective shielding Singularitarian
scenario).
Libertarians and societals can co-exist in extropian thinking so long as it
is recognized (in the context of the above) that two sentient beings who
consensually interact through force are entitled to do so, and that those
who wish to bypass force through Sysop are entitled to do so.
