“…life. It’s the human default. I worry that when people lurch away from a full numerate picture of the world, it’s less that they don’t understand the numbers and more that their minds are already made up: there are specific bad guys to destroy, and statistics are only useful as weapons against them. Anyone giving other people ways of comparing and contrasting the full situation is suspicious, they’re providing avenues to be okay with the bad thing. On the environment at least, our ethics should let people with radically different beliefs and tastes live together. Enough people get real value from AI products that the decorative statistics critics hurl at them look to me like unjustified attempts to override a difference in taste among reasonable people. We owe each other the full numerate picture of what’s actually happening in the world, mainly because we shouldn’t deceive people into adopting our own contentious value systems. Going forward, I’d like environmental spaces to refocus on the project of building a pluralist world without carbon emissions, and, along the way, to respect the subtle societal and ethical structures that maintain that pluralism
