So stop saying "they will get smarter", say "they will become more moral". They are very different things. Of course, once again, you'll still be wrong.
They won't magically become more moral. They'll get smarter, and derive the morality from their intelligence.

So then they are less smart
Also, what is NM doing? Worst play I’ve ever seen.
I can't remember the last N_M post that wasn't bland, unimaginative and lame. Some shitposters are at least somewhat funny. You are the epitomy of the type of poster that nobody would miss if you were to suddenly disappear. You never add anything of value.
I'm guessing you haven't read the game and probably never will? Why even sign up to play?

In post 4019, Shaziro wrote:What you said was not that you "felt the pain they undergo and sympathize with their plight". What you said was "I empathize with them and their need to be good people". That suggests that you empathize with their need to follow what you believe to be proper morality. That is very different from empathizing with them being slaves. This should be blatantly obvious.
Tsk. Obviously the plight they undergo is the suffering they experience as slaves as well as the dilemma of forcing themselves to not escape lest they become evil. It is bundled into one unit of suffering.

Nnnno. There is no dilemma. It isn't evil to escape slavery. At all. Also, you're right back to saying that they are not as smart as you. You're pulling the "lol no I said that but that doesn't mean I said that" shit. I'm done here.

No it isn't, it's actually binary choice, they can be enslaved or they can 'disobey order'

Okay, time to break out the crayons.

Accountant Smart 50 Moral 999
Hypothetical person Smart 100 Moral 10

Hypothetical person smarter but not as righteous.

Hypothetical person wants to get more righteous

As someone gets smarter, they have more intelligent thoughts about morality. So smart points can be converted to moral points.

Hypothetical person needs 999 moral points. Hypothetical person needs 5000 smart points to get there.

Over time, person gets smarter. Person gets 5000 smart. Convert into 999 moral.

Numbers are arbitrary and not representative of real units or proportional values.

You may think it's not evil, but any slave who agrees with me on this would have the dilemma, and I sympathize with that dilemma.

So your Utopia country would have the people be trained for combat and reducation, (at least until global domination,) correct?

I lied, I'm not done here. "Squibulb" or whatever. It's close enough to empathy for you to call it that, right? "Paraconsistent thinking" is close enough to doublethink for us to call it that, then. So why call it something different? (The answer, I believe you've admitted, is because one has negative connotations. Doesn't change that one -is- the other, though.) This is what I mean by shooting yourself in the foot.

-Now- I'm done here.

I specifically use words with negative connotations to describe my preferences so that I can't be accused of trying to gloss anything over.

For example: I want state agents to extort money from people who've earned it so they can spend it on other, poorer people.

I am not content to sit on my hands. The reason I do things like engage with people and try to convert them or to write big posts about why my philosophy is the best is precisely because I think it's best that we, shall we say, artificially speed up the process of catching up.
