yes

When I study great artists or musicians, that already makes me feel this way!

how is it definitive inside this scenario

Intriguing question! No, I don’t believe I would feel a greater responsibility based on this factor alone.

No.

First I'd laugh.

It depends on what you mean by collective survival and what it is you think I should be responsible for. I'm responsible for my own survival. I may contribute things that help others survive (like my work in emergency medicine, for example), but I don't owe anyone my time in this position. It isn't ...

Yes 100%

Would say no, if we are not the ones, someone else will

Let’s get Bryan Johnson on Nostr Lmao

I'd follow what Ridley Scott says

no

As it stands, until we have proof that there's life elsewhere, I feel we have an obligation, if we are capable, of spreading life further afield. The moment we have definitive proof of life elsewhere, not our problem. Our personal survival as a species is less important than life itself.

No. IDGAF about the rest of the universe. I'm here. I'll do what's right for me and mine.

People can make analogies of this to races in old history and the views (whether true or not) they had against one another. I would want to dominate or necessarily ensure mine over another in that case. Likewise, extrapolating that to the species (all humans) against aliens, I don't see why it sho...

No! Just do what you do best, and that’s all. 🐶🐾🫡

Pursuing your's and your family's best interest (selfishness), within a framework of strong protections for negative rights, is the most effective way to improve the "collective" interest. I would continue advocating for the minimization and eventual abolition of the state. It's our most destructi...

We know how the story end

absolutely

I think there are greater reasons why we should care about our collective survival.. So no, but not because I don't care about the human race.

I think as a species we inherently like to cooperate to strive for amazing things. I would like to think the majority of us would at least somewhat feel responsible for our survival. We tend to develop large institutions to coordinate and help accomplish this. The problem is corruption seems to dist...

My role model is Captain Jean-Luc Picard and the Federation of Planets anyway, so yes. And not only ours but also other species.

I think I would. It kind of depends on if you think this is all real. If we're the most advanced sim in the game, but there's a world external to us, do you feel the same responsibility to care for your sandbox environment?

Survival is relative
