Humanity vs Reason by Maclain Hunter Premises: P: Humans (or x) tend to prioritize the continuation of the existence of humanity (or x and/or what is x-like). Q: Humanity or x is only rationally worth furthering and perpetuating if aligned (fully or very fully) with Reason. If it is not aligned with Reason it is not rationally worth trying to keep around. R: If humanity or x aligns with Reason fully or very fully then its furtherance and survival is not in question, and must logically be. In such a case trying to take our own measures to ensure the survival of humanity or x becomes irrational in the sense it is redundant and not necessary. S: Assume the negation of the premises. This leads to absurdities such as it being rational to perpetuate what is not rational or to try to save what already saves itself. Formal Reasoning: {P, P <-> Q, Q <-> R, R <-> S} |= (S <-> R) <-> (Q <-> P) Conclusion: {P, Q, R, S}: Humanity is either rational or irrational with no middle ground (per the Law of the Excluded Middle). Either way humanity doesn’t need my support - as it’s either irrational and doesn’t deserve it or it’s rational and doesn’t require it. Figures like Elon Musk who spread fear about people not having enough kids miss this dynamic - that humanity is currently quite irrational and that he is effectively telling a bunch of irrational creatures to multiply - like telling a flawed bot to clone itself. I disagree with not only this fear mongering but the idea that more humans should be born while humanity is so persistently incoherent. Let us be coherent and then the proper population size and rate of birth will effectively determine itself (through the coherent actions of coherent people), just as we should perfect x and then make more of x instead of putting the cart before the horse.
