Can we just stop with these absolute positions already?
You can justify horrible atrocities if you strongly believe in extreme outcomes.
Effective altruism, accelerationism, doomers... All of these mindsets are toxic for the same reason that extreme religious stances are toxic. Believing that the world is going to end or that it's going to reach salvation or whatever extreme outcome you feel like, and then using that to justify short-term atrocities is not the way.
Stop putting infinity in your forecasts. It breaks everything. We have been down this path before many times and it never ends well.
