What I am arfaid the world will be like when the value of humans reaches near 0.

I'll put this in politics because it concerns with what I think the world should be. If you want to ague, I hope it's to change my views for the better, whatever that means. There is only so much I can do to avoid people that share cognitohazards.


The decisions of the most powerful people in the world make me think their ultimate goal is to devalue humans as a whole so that those people can do whatever they want without consequence. However, I am not sure if they understand the real consequences that put even them in danger.

There is the obvious stuff like harmful climate change and stuff, but let me ask you a question (that I'm not sure if I came up with first) featuring a hypothetical force that is more capable than us. (how original) Not that it can just be AI or anything. It could be anything with the capability requirements met.

This force and humanity meet. It shows that it can do everything we can potentially do and more but better. Fortunately, you gauge that they see humans and by extension yourself as almost cute to them. You also gauge that they have knowledge of how humans can best live. Unfortunately, due to the limited amount of time before they leave to go who knows where, you don't get a full grasp of what they mean before they give you the option to join them under their care. If you say no or fail to give an answer within one hour, you stay where you are under the mercy of your world along with the other similar being that might not see you the same way. 

Do you choose to join the force or live on your own?

Now I an answer I will share, but I will only warn you once on these. If you see someone constructing and answering their own question, take what they say with a pinch of salt as this this one of many ways someone can be persuaded or change the action of someone. One last thing, I trust that you have read the one important line on my profile.

Anyway, I don't want myself or anyone else to be given that choice if possible. Not only that, I don't want anyone else to say yes either. If I were to say yes, then it wouldn't matter if anyone else does because I have given up on having a life with real meaning or at least retroactively in the best cases. If I said no, then I would lose all those I value that said yes and have to live in a world that could have just become even worse off because of the force's arrival. Even if I somehow got lucky that no one else leaves, I am now still left with uncertainty that I can live meaningfully with the world as is. 

The worst part of all this is that I don't know if I or anyone else can prevent this problem from appearing eventually. Unless we can somehow gain back human value, we won't be able to stave off the creation of this force. I would rather meet this force and actually bargain for my own better living than having to trust them with my life.
