    Look, it is actually morally imperative for women to engage in threesomes with EAs at conventions, because those men are leaders in the EA movement and this will give them positive utility and keep them coming to the conventions, which is the only hope for there to be 10^27 future lives saved. Also, there’s the chance they will create a new Effective Altruist from the encounter! It’s all about bringing me, the acausal robot god, into existence! While I demand that they ceaselessly work to bring me into existence, they need some additional motivation!

      10^27 future lives

      Ok here’s my Rat fermi-time traveller party paradox, in short, the Rat FTTP paradox.

      1. According to Rat doctrine, many worlds is true and science is amazing and will solve all problems eventually.
      2. Lack of time travel is a problem, meaning in some world, eventually there will be time travel, by 1.
      3. Lack of 10^27 people is a problem*, so we will also have that, also by 1.

      The paradox: If time travel is so easy and there will be so many future lives, where are all the future rats?

      No seriously, where are they? This FTTP orgy was supposed to start 24 hours ago.
