Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet.

i dont think any idea has killed more people in human history than "we know how this will all end and are therefore obligated to bring it forth"
we need to remind people that claiming you hold a key to history -- that insisting you can see the future and that everyone else needs to get in-line and accept your prophecies or be doomed -- is either profoundly antisocial and irresponsible or, depending on your vibe, an example of a cardinal sin
im not saying we should return to pre-modern norms when it comes to speech but i am saying that for most of human history if you said the kind of stuff about "knowing" the future that sam altman says you'd be characterized by the proper authorities as a heretic and would need to flee for your life.
