- Do you want AIs to be conscious or not?
- Do you want to maximize positive experiences, minimize suffering or leave this to sort itself out?
- Do you want life spreading into the cosmos?
- Do you want a civilization striving toward a greater purpose that you sympathize with, or are you OK with future life forms that appear content?
Depending on your answers this might lead to one of the following scenario
